Elton Brand gets fantastic value with trade for Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III

[admin]

GM Elton Brand used considerable assets last season in acquiring Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris. Ahead of Thursday's 3 p.m. trade deadline, there seemed to be concern among national pundits that the Sixers simply didn't have enough assets to make any deals of consequence. With that in mind, Brand did quite well in acquiring wings Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III from the Warriors in exchange for three second-round picks (see story) - none of which originally belonged to the Sixers.
