Sixers trade Richaun Holmes to Suns, sign Jonah Bolden

PHILADELPHIA _ The 76ers continue to remake their roster.

Friday, the team traded reserve center Richaun Holmes to the Phoenix Suns for cash. ESPN later reported that the cash was $1 million for Holmes, who had a non-guaranteed, $1.6 million deal with the Sixers. The move cleared the way for them to give power forward Jonah Bolden a four-year, $7 million contract. The last two years are not guaranteed, according to a source.

Holmes tweeted, "All love Philly thanks for giving me a chance" and "PHOENIX WATS GOOD??????"

These moves come one day after the Sixers agreed to acquire Mike Muscala from Atlanta in a three-team trade. However, sources told the Inquirer, the trade won't be completed in the coming days because the Sixers are working on another move. According to a source, the team has had discussions about trading Jerryd Bayless to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Kyle Korver.
