Philadelphia 76ers
Boston’s Atlantic division rivals made some moves around the margins to add shooting in the form of the Golden State Warriors’ Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III in exchange for a trio of second-round picks conveying in 2020, 2021 and 2023.
They also sent Ennis packing to the Magic as a cost-cutting measure with more-recently accurate shooters on board, and cut point guard Trey Burke to make space.
Sixers have now lost 4 in a row and lost all of their most recent matchups against IND, TOR, BOS, MIA, MIL
Don't worry though they traded for Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III so problem solved

It’s not entirely clear why the 76ers cut a 42.1 % 3-point shooter and dealt away another in Ennis shooting 34.9 from deep in exchange for Burks (37.5 % from three) and Robinson (40 % beyond the arc), but if nothing else may provide some cover for sorting out the team’s bruised morale.
Grade: TBD, but this isn’t likely to impact Philly’s postseason ceiling much.
