The RingerLittle Moves, Big Dividends
While superstars get the spotlight, all eight NBA teams left standing are getting help from under-the-radar transactions. Here are the best sneaky-good moves by each
Sixers: Ersan Ilyasova and Marco Belinelli
After Ilyasova and Belinelli were bought out by the Hawks—Atlanta apparently couldn’t trade either at the deadline—and signed by the Sixers, Brett Brown’s bench turned into 2016-17 Rockets Lite. The duo attempted (and made) more shots per game than any other Philly reserve by the end of the season, providing Ben Simmons and Co. an additional 24.4 points per game combined.
Since Phillaysova joined the team in March, the Sixers have gone 24-5.
Their one-year deals are costing $1,341,935. That’s 15 times less than what the Sixers are paying Jerryd Bayless and Amir Johnson combined this season.
Illya-out?

Any GM giving Amir Johnson more than a min salary should be fired immediately.
I think it's no surprise to anyone here that Ersan is balling out in Philly.

It's just crazy to think that:
a) Philly traded Ersan to us a little over a year ago.
b) Dude was traded like 5 times in the 2 years prior.
No wonder he had no interest in being traded this season.
