SIXERS DO A DEAL WITH HOUSTON FOR ENNIS III Thursday, February 7, 2019
The Philadelphia 76ers acquired forward/guard James Ennis III from the Houston Rockets for the right to swap second-round draft picks in 2021.
What does it give the Philadelphia 76ers?
For Philadelphia, adding Ennis III is huge because of a lack of bench scoring options right now. He should play an important role down the stretch for Philadelphia as a backup swingman behind both Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick. This is a good move by Philly.
What does it give the Houston Rockets?
For the Rockets, clearly the team felt comfortable with its wing depth after acquiring Iman Shumpert from the Kings recently. With Austin Rivers and Gerald Green also in the fold, Ennis III was not likely to receive a lot of minutes down the stretch.
Fantasy Impact
Whether coming off the bench in Philadelphia or Houston, Ennis III's fantasy value should remain the same. He is not a great option but should be a consideration in very deep league formats.
