Philly liked Meeks heading into the draft, so it didn't shock me to see the 76ers pursue him now. The deal is cap neutral and gives the Sixers a shooter, something they desperately need. While Meeks has made only 28.2 percent of his 3-pointers with Milwaukee, his college shooting numbers were so good that one can easily dismiss the 82-shot sample he's provided in the NBA. Elson has some value as a defensive center, but Philly already is knee-deep in big men, so he probably won't play and might be a buyout candidate. Grade: B-"
