The Sixers cut their roster down to 16 by cutting four players, including Royce White and Khalif Wyatt.
Though Charles Barkley and Michael Vick played different sports, with different degrees of success in Philadelphia, they will both go down in Philadelphia sports history together in one particular category: lightning rods.
