Markkanen would be the best out of all of them. Said years ago when he was unhappy in Chicago they should’ve dealt for him as it wasn’t going to be as costly and he was unhappy there. Don’t see that happening with utah based on what a couple coaches at Arizona said to me 

Yes.

Likewise, the best and potentially easiest deal to get done is a Grant/Brogdon package. It perfectly fits our needs of a 3 and D stretch 4, and scorer, defender, ball handler for the 2nd unit. Both players being on the same team gives us a 1 stop shop, and we have salaries to match. Its sensible, and seems easy to accomplish.

And the underrated, unexciting move which could pay dividends would be something for Dorian Finney-Smith. 

Id also be pretty interested in replacing Harris with Wiggins- someone who seems to be a more consistent shooter, and is more athletic and versatile.

I am looking through trade target lists right now, and KAT's name keeps showing up. Seems crazy with Minnesota's record. But, there seems to be a little bit of smoke there that theyd be willing to trade him.

I’d like Wiggins a lot more if we were gonna get what he was the last 3 years with the warriors and during their last title run. This year his drop off has been across the board (granted playing like 4-5 mins less this year). But shooting percentage from 3 the last 3 years with the warriors had been 38.9% and this year it’s 29.9%. Fg also down from 47.2% the last 3 years to 42.6

Yeah. I dont know what is to blame for that. 

Similar to OG having a poor year. 

Morey needs to get off his fat ass

I like all those but Wiggins. Wiggins is back to TWolves Wiggins, in that doesn't seem to care

I don't see that because they are title contenders. 

 

I really think De'Andre Hunter could use a change of scenery and more younger lenght

I like OG, but that seems like an awful trade for the Knicks. Two really good players and draft picks? 

It was basically Quickley for OG to me. RJ doesn't do anything for me, he is still highly inconsistent, and pretty much only scores. 

Quickley I like as a player but he was never going to start next to Brunson and I don't think they were going to pay him the 120 he probably wants to come off the bench.

Thats what the rumor mills are saying. They start with the qualifier " Now youre going to kill me for this. BUT..."

They might not want to pay him. They have the front court depth to win without him. etc are reasons given. I guess also, the package they get is going to be strong as well. 

I dont see it. And I dont think its relevant to the 76ers. But its interesting how much it seems to be popping up lately.

Knicks would have been the spot for him but probably not anymore. I think KAT has finally realized he isn't the alpha on the team and that is ANT and that took a while. 

Mitchell, LaVine,  and Siakam are probably the big 3 names to be traded and none really fit the Sixers to me. 

Rather go Brogdon and Grant or Kuzma

I mean, Barrett is averaging more points and rebounds than OG in fewer minutes, with assists about the same. But OK.

Today was supposedly a deadline to agree to an extension with Siakam.

Now its being reported Toronto will continue to look for a trade.

Id be afraid to give up anything significant. But could you imagine if he regained form he had under Nurse, when he didnt have to be the alpha because he had Kawhi there? Could playing with Embiid and Maxey bring that back out of him?

Big risk. Im not pulling hard for it to happen. But Id be intrigued if that was the move they made.

We finally have good spacing. I think he would mess that up.

RJ has a usage rate of 27%, where OG has an 18% and scores 3 less points than him on 3 less shot attempts 

But ok

RJ is not special in any aspect especially shooting and Quickley/Barnes is something the Raptors can now build off on now

He would absolutely kill it

Siakam should not be on the trade list for the Sixers, he can't shoot from 3 and he will want to get paid. 

I wonder if that trade was done today, the day the Pistons played the Raptors and would be without OG so help break the losing streak lol

Drummond had been tossed around the league for a few years and it makes no sense. In the playoffs, it's a different story but regular season games he can dominate

There is a sound rationale there at least

Neither is OG. Sounds to me like you’re overrating him quite a bit.

OG one of two of the best wing defenders in the league alongside McDaniels and can guard 1-5 if needed. What are you talking about he isn't special in any area? 

RJ, was good at nothing, and not even finishing games for the Knicks, nor would teams respect his shooting so he just clogs up paint. 

Sixers don't need another star, they need another ball handler and/or wing that can defend. Is basically one guy available left on the market in Grant and Morey should make a play for him 

Yeah, Barrett always had athletic ability, but saw himself as a shooter which he's below average at and it winds up costing his team in the end.
