The 76ers entered this truncated, transformative offseason with an All-Star big man.
They recently added another, who also happens to be a multi-time Defensive Player of the Year award winner.
In trading for Tony Bradley, the Sixers have acquired a young, former first-round pick capable of adding depth at the five spot as well.
