The Sixers finally have added a guard.

According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the Sixers have acquired shooting guard Nik Stauskas, forward Jason Thompson and forward Carl Landry in a trade with the Sacramento Kings.

In addition to the players, the Sixers will also receive a protected first-round pick from the Kings, according to ESPN's Zach Lowe. The Sixers will also receive the rights to swap first-round picks with the Kings of two additional drafts.

In return, the Sixers will send the Kings the rights to "overseas players" and a future second-round pick, per Wojnarowski.

Per Lowe, the overseas player is not Dario Saric, the Sixers' first-round pick in 2014.

The trade has not yet been confirmed by either team.

The move was likely made by the Kings to free up salary space, as they are expected to pursue free agent point guard Rajon Rondo.

Stauskas has three years remaining on his rookie deal, which pays an average of $2.9 million each season. Landry has two years remaining on his deal, which will pay him $6.7 million each season. Thompson has a similar deal, which has two years at $6.8 million each season remaining.

In total, the Sixers added roughly $15 million in salary from the deal, a sign of just how bad they wanted to land Stauskas.

Stauskas was selected 8th overall in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Kings, and averaged 4.4 points and 1.2 rebounds in 15 minutes per game last season.

He was considered the best shooter in the draft last year, and at 6-foot-6, fits the bill as the kind of player the Sixers have been looking for on the wing.

Thompson, who lives in Philadelphia during the offseason and went to school at Rider College, averaged 6.1 points and 6.5 rebounds for the Kings last season, his seventh in the NBA.

Landry comes to the Sixers after having spent time with four different teams during his eight year career. He averaged 7.2 points and 3.8 rebounds for the Kings last season.

The Sixers need for a guard increased after the 2015 NBA Draft, in which the team added center Jahlil Okafor. The selection left the Sixers with three centers -- Okafor, Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel -- to build around, but no guard on the roster with any potential.
