And Then There Were 13

The Sixers released Dionte Christmas and Brandon Bowman earlier today, thinning their roster to 13, two below the max allowed by the league. This seemed to be the plan all along, Christmas, who played his college career at Temple, was a longshot at best to make the squad. Call it a numbers game or point at the economy, either way, the Sixers will have two free roster spots. Let's hope aren't forced to use them at some point.

Someone mentioned the Wiz cut Dixon.

Might be a decent pick-up. He's fit nicely on the second team next to either Jrue or Green, and he knows the offense better than anyone on the Sixers.

That's a thought. I might have been tempted to keep Christmas and toss him in the D-League for the year, but I can see why they didn't.

Odds are Christmas winds up in the D-League, without a contract from a pro team anyway. If they wind up needing him, they can snag him on a 10-day contract.

Dixon would be interesting. At least that would make one guy on the roster who knows the offense.

I wanted Dixon when Ivey opted out. It would make sense, being he isn't horrible and knows the system very well. At the least he could help other players in practice.
