Once again, Chad Ford of ESPN.com was the first to report a trade: The Philadelphia 76ers agreed to send a second-round pick this year and a future first-round pick to the Miami Heat for the 27th overall pick, which the Heat used on Mississippi State forward Arnett Moultrie.

UPDATE: The 45th pick was used on LSU center Justin Hamilton, and Ford has details on the future first-rounder that the Heat pick up:
