He also mentioned that he felt quite limited during the game.
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers eventually consummated a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers in November, but not every iteration of the deal contained Nicolas Batum. The Clippers hedged and the 76ers pushed, and so it continued. Ultimately, though, the Sixers acquired Batum when they traded James Harden to Los Angeles.
For Philadelphia, the deal was just one of several pivotal moments throughout their erratic season. It served as the franchise’s standard for a changeover. Rather, it also brought them the guy who salvaged this season.
