The Golden State Warriors have acquired Jason Thompson from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for cash and draft considerations.
The 76ers acquired Thompson in a trade with the Sacramento Kings this offseason.
Wallace was acquired by the Warriors in their trade with the Boston Celtics for David Lee.
J.P. Tokoto plans to sign a training camp deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, a league source tells RealGM.
Tokoto and the 76ers are discussing terms, and the athletic forward has made clear he has no intention of signing overseas or in the D-League.
Tokoto was the 58th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the 76ers out of North Carolina.
76ers second round selection Richaun Holmes has agreed to terms on a multi-year rookie contract with Philadelphia, league sources told RealGM.
Holmes was selected with the 37th overall pick in the June NBA Draft by the 76ers, a rapid riser through the pre-draft process. The first two seasons of Holmes' deal will be fully guaranteed, sources said.
Holmes posted 29 points, 15 rebounds, four blocks and three steals in 56 total minutes in three games before suffering a broken elbow in a summer league game. The 6-foot-10 forward continued to play through the injury, checking back into the game after his fall.
Holmes, 21, has made significant strides in his recovery from a broken elbow and is expected to be fully healthy for 76ers training camp.
A two-way big man, Holmes averaged 14.8 points and eight rebounds in his senior season at Bowling Green.
The Cleveland Cavaliers hope to soon trade Brendan Haywood for a traded player exception.
The Cavaliers have shopped the non-guaranteed contract of Haywood around the NBA, including talks with the Brooklyn Nets on Joe Johnson. They haven't been able to find a deal to their liking and could instead trade Haywood for a traded player exception.
The Cavs used a trade exception they created last summer to trade for Timofey Mozgov during last season.
The Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers are the only teams currently with enough cap space to absorb Haywood and create a trade exception for Cleveland. The Cavs might need to surrender a draft pick to create the incentive for either team to help the Cavaliers with the TPE.
Joel Embiid re-broke the same navicular bone in his right foot, according to sources.
On June 13th, the Philadelphia 76ers released a statement that Embiid's foot wasn't healing as much as had been anticipated. On July 11th, the 76ers released a statement that Embiid would undergo season-ending surgery.
Jahlil Okafor had known for a couple of weeks that Embiid would miss the entire season.
Between the season ending and the June 13 statement, a source said Embiid was working out daily at the team's practice facility. When asked if Embiid was playing five-on-five, the source said that he hadn't, but "only because there weren't enough people to play five-on-five. He was playing very meaningful games of three-on-three and was doing full-court workouts. He is pretty much a full go."
The Philadelphia 76ers have reached agreement with summer league guard Scottie Wilbekin on a four-year contract, league sources told RealGM.
Wilbekin committed to a deal with the 76ers on Friday night, opting out of his deal with Cairns Taipans of Australia’s National Basketball League.
A standout at Florida, Wilbekin played for Cairns a season ago, averaging 15.2 points and 4.3 assists. The 6-foot-2 guard played four seasons under Billy Donovan, going unselected in the 2014 NBA draft.
In an impressive Summer League showing this year, Wilbekin averaged 12 points and 2.2 assists for the Magic in Orlando and the 76ers in Las Vegas. He shot a combined 42.4 percent from three-point range.
The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Pierre Jackson to a four-year, partially guaranteed contract.
Jackson received a make-good contract from the 76ers last season for the league minimum.
Jackson didn't appear to discuss a contract with any other teams.
Joel Embiid will likely miss the 2015-16 season due to a second surgery after the latest setback in the healing of his right foot, according to several sources.
“I would say there’s a great possibility that Embiid won’t play next year,” the source said. “Just think how long they sat him when they thought he was healthy.”
The Philadelphia 76ers are planning as if Embiid won’t play this season, according to sources.
Another source said the franchise is concerned that this setback could be career-threatening.
Philadelphia 76ers rookie Richaun Holmes has been diagnosed with a fractured elbow in Utah and faces a six-to-eight week recovery timetable, league sources told RealGM.
Out of Bowling Green, Holmes cemented himself as rising draft prospect at the Portsmouth Invitational and went 37th overall to the 76ers in the June NBA Draft.
Holmes posted 29 points, 15 rebounds, four blocks and three steals in 56 total minutes in three games before suffering the broken elbow in Thursday’s summer league game. The 6-foot-10 forward continued to play through the injury, checking back into the game after his fall.
Holmes, 21, hopes to be fully healthy by the 76ers’ training camp in the fall and could be in line for a contract as a second rounder.
A two-way big man, Holmes averaged 14.8 points and eight rebounds in his senior season in 2014-15.
The Philadelphia 76ers remain undecided on the next steps for Joel Embiid's right foot.
“No change as of yet,” Sam Hinkie said Thursday. “A number of meetings are happening about that, even one today. But we have meeting almost every day about that. We don’t not have anything ready to announce.”
Embiid has been ruled out of the Summer League, but could still undergo surgery at some point.
“These are decisions you want to spend enough time on to make sure A: You get it right,” Hinkie said. “And B: you really talked through things and everything is on the same page.”
