The Philadelphia 76ers have made strategic moves at the trade deadline, acquiring Buddy Hield and Cam Payne, with a strong indication that Kyle Lowry could be next. Sixers President Daryl Morey, in a series of interviews, expressed confidence in the team's trade decisions, emphasizing that Hield, as a shooter, is extremely valuable alongside players like Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Morey highlighted that their focus is always on what gives them the best chance to win the championship and mentioned that if there wasn't hope for Joel Embiid's recovery, their approach to the trade deadline would have been different. The Sixers' aggressive moves are part of a strategy to plan for the future and improve their championship odds. Morey also addressed questions about whether Cam Payne is a better fit than Patrick Beverley, why they traded Jaden Springer, and how Joel Embiid's injury impacted their moves. Following the trade deadline, Kyle Lowry is reported to be joining the Sixers after a contract buyout with the Charlotte Hornets.
