No, the point is when people are talking about a team that allegedly has zero idea of what it's doing, 1-2 real NBA players, nothing to show for losing, etc., the rest of the league sure seems to have a pretty healthy interest in the players on the 76ers roster based on any transaction that's taken place over the past few years.
There are quite a few players around the league, who, if waived, would clear waivers and that'd be the end of their NBA career, but the most disposable player on the allegedly worst/most clueless NBA team ever does not fit that bill.
Also you're missing that when most players on the roster are unproven commodities and there are a lot of injuries, the rotation is going to be much more fluid. I'm sure if you looked over the past month or so, Holmes played more than Sampson (which is saying something because Holmes plays the same position as Noel and Okafor).
