Of course this news drops after I finish the depth chart story.

Per Shams:

Shams says the Sixers are getting cash considerations for Holmes, which seems like a rip off. I’d think you could at least get a future second rounder in return.

There’s also this:

RE: Richaun, it seemed like the writing was on the wall when the team re-signed Amir Johnson. He would have been third or fourth on the center depth chart behind Amir, Joel Embiid, and maybe Mike Muscala, depending on how they plan to use the former Hawk, who is reportedly headed to Philly in a three-team trade.

This trade opens a roster spot for Bolden, the second-year UCLA product who played some four and some five in summer league.

And it’s a good landing spot for Richaun, who will get a chance to compete with 35 year old Tyson Chandler for the second unit center minutes behind #1 overall draft pick Deandre Ayton. The Suns have a nice young core that also includes Devin Booker, T.J. Warren, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Jackson.

Thoughts?
