Philadelphia 76ers Land Veteran Forward On One-Year Deal

 

The Philadelphia 76ers off-season has been an intriguing one, as the cloud of a James Harden trade request is still hovering above the team, but with the reigning MVP and the No. 3 seed roster, there's still plenty of talent on this squad.

Now, they've added another piece in the form of 27-year old forward Kelly Oubre, who has spent the past two years of his eight-year career with the Charlotte Hornets, posting a career high in points per game last season.

That number came in at 20.3, while also dropping 5.4 RPG and 1.1 APG, and now, if he can find his role off the bench in Philadelphia, he could be a key piece of this team as they look to finally go on a deep playoff run.
