With Michael Carter-Williams traded, Isaiah Canaan moves forward as the Philadelphia 76ers' point guard.

"Isaiah Canaan is our point guard," said Sam Hinkie. "Trade won't clear tonight, but by Sunday. He is an interesting prospect."

Hinkie helped explain his strategy in trading away Carter-Williams and K.J. McDaniels for draft picks.

"We will not bat 1,000 in the draft. We're going to miss some. But we have a bushel-full of them.

"I believe a lot in optionality. I believe a lot in flexibility. I believe a lot in making a decision as late as you can."

RealGM Note: Optionality was made popular by author Nassim Taleb.

“Optionality is the property of asymmetric upside (preferably unlimited) with correspondingly limited downside (preferably tiny).”
