The Philadelphia 76ers are releasing point guard Tony Wrotento clear a roster spot for Ish Smith, who was acquired in a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday, according to Yahoo Sports' Marc J. Spears. The move comes eight games into Wroten's return from a partially torn ACL, which he suffered midway through the 2014-15 season. Prior to his release, Wroten averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 assists and 3.6 turnovers. With Wroten out of the picture, the Sixers will operate with a point guard trio consisting of Smith, rookie T.J. McConnell and Kendall Marshall. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...by-76ers-latest-details-comments-and-reaction
I don't get this move for the Sixers. Sixers PG situation has been messed up since the season started. I'm sure they tried Canaan at that spot too. For the Pelicans... I just realized... more time for Jrue!!!
Im pretty surprised at the release of wroten. Hes not starting PG but can could be a valuable rotation player. I guess his injury and shooting woes are a bigger issue than I thought
good move by the pelicans getting two 2nd rounders in return don't get this for the sixers. wroten is pretty good and mcconell has easily been their best PG this season
