With the season set to begin for the Sixers on Wednesday night, they made a few final moves to get their roster down to 15.
Yesterday, they struck a deal with the Knicks, sending embattled big-man Arnett Moultrie to New York in exchange for Travis Outlaw, whom was promptly waived and a future second round pick.
They also waived Marquis Teague, who they acquired from the Nets last week along with a 2019 second round pick. Teague was a former first round pick and was in the last year of his rookie contract. He has a guaranteed $1.1 million contract this season.
Finally, the Sixers parted ways with Elliot Williams. He played in 67 games last season, averaging six points a contest and 1.9 rebounds a game. He had a solid preseason as well, posting 11 points, 2.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 44.4% from beyong the arc and 50% overall.
Below is the Sixers' 15-man roster:
Michael Carter-Williams, PG
Brandon Davies, PF
Joel Embiid, C
Jerami Grant, SF
Chris Johnson, SF
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, PF
K.J. McDaniels, SG
Nerlens Noel, PF
Jason Richardson, SG
JaKarr Sampson, PF
Alexey Shved, PG
Henry Sims, C
Malcolm Thomas, PF
Hollis Thompson, SG

Sixers reveal preview of awesome arena effects
Yesterday, the Sixers tested out their 3-D court projection technology. It looks pretty sweet and will be used for team intros.
