As reported by ESPN‘s Zach Lowe, the Sixers have agreed to send their disgruntled and rarely used center to the Brooklyn Nets for Trevor Booker.
Philly will also send Nik Stauskas and a second round draft pick to Brooklyn as part of the deal. According to The Vertical‘s Shams Charania, the second-rounder is a 2019 pick via the New York Knicks.
