JULY 6, 12:13pm: The trade is official, according to a tweet from the Sixers.
JUNE 22, 10:56pm: The Bucks and Sixers have reached an agreement on the No. 46 overall pick, according to Shams Charania of The Vertical. Charania reports (via Twitter) that Milwaukee is acquiring the pick – and the draft rights to SMU’s Sterling Brown – from Philadelphia.
Brown is a 6’6″ senior who averaged 13.4 points and 6.5 rebounds for the Mustangs this season. He is the younger brother of former NBA player Shannon Brown.
In addition to top pick Markelle Fultz and Anzejs Pasecniks at No. 25, the Sixers came away from the draft with two second-rounders, Jonah Bolden at No. 36 and Mathias Lessort at No. 50.
What does Philly get? They already got cash for 39.
And if 36 cost 3.5 million 39 and this have to cost more.
The trades for the two Sixers picks weren’t announced last night, which makes me think they’re both going to become official after July 1 (when the cash counter resets and Philly can acquire up to $5.1MM in total).
