On June 30th, 2019 the Philadelphia 76ers acquired Josh Richardon for Jimmy Butler in a sign-and-trade-deal with the Miami Heat. This was a move that confused many 76ers fans who thought we were not getting enough in return for Butler, who carried the team in the previous postseason. The hard truth to swallow is that Jimmy Butler wasn’t going to end up a 76er anyway, so picking up Richardson was a very solid consolation prize.

The Philadelphia 76ers and guard Trey Burke have agreed to a one-year contract, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The contract is for the veteran minimum, with Burke set to reportedly make up to $1.84 million in the upcoming season, according to The Inquirer's Keith Pompey. 

Burke brings some shooting and much needed guard depth to the 76ers. Many were under the impression that Shake Milton would lock down some minutes at the backup guard spot after the team signed him to a four-year contract earlier in the offseason. However, he looked very "shakey" in Summer League, shooting poorly from outside and struggling to control the ball.
