After slotting themselves into the Kevin Love trade, the Philadelphia 76’ers were left with two bench players and a Draft Pick, which is an okay compromise considering they gave away Thaddeus Young and according to CBS Sports, the Sixers will keep Alexey Shved and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.
Shved had a terrific rookie season, but fell completely apart in the latter months of it and then was disastrous last season. He struggled on both ends. But the 76ers can take their time developing Shved since they’re not going anywhere next season.
Mbah a Moute becomes the new poor veteran guy stuck on the Sixers, along with Jason Richardson. Mbah a Moute is a great defender, but so limited offensively it’s hard to keep him on the floor.
The Sixers are not a Playoff team. Yet. But they’re making some progress. Last year they did absolutely nothing so this offseason is definitely a plus for the Sixers.
