Jazz trade Tibor Pleiss to 76ers for Kendall Marshall, waive Marshall
The Philadelphia 76ers announced Friday that the team has acquired center Tibor Pleiss, two 2017 second-round draft picks and cash considerations from the Utah Jazz in exchange for Kendall Marshall.
The Sixers will receive the most and least favorable of the four 2017 second-round picks currently held by Utah (their own, in addition to those of Detroit, Golden State and New York).
Pleiss (7'3", 256lbs) was originally selected with the 31st overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Brooklyn Nets and acquired by the Jazz as part of a three-team trade in February, 2015. He has appeared in 12 career games with Utah, averaging two points and one rebound in seven minutes per game.
The Utah Jazz has waived guard Marshall following the trade. By shedding Pleiss's contract, it is reported the Jazz now have approximately $13 million in salary cap space available.
