Sixers complete Thabeet deal

The Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday evening acquired a trade exception and a 2015 protected second round draft pick from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for center Hasheem Thabeet and cash considerations.

Multiple sources, including ESPN and Philly.com report the Sixers will waive Thabeet, who has a contract which is worth $1.25 million in unguaranteed money.

The Thunder have one year to use the trade exception.


Thabeet, a UConn product about to enter into his sixth NBA campaign, averaged 1.2 points and 1.7 rebounds over just 23 games with OKC a season ago.
