Yeah, 12 is really tight. Even going up to $16M brings in possibilities like
1. DFS from BRK at $14.9
2. Beef Stew from DET at $15.0
3. Avdija from POR at $15.6

If you're keeping it under $12M and trading with teams that will want picks rather than players, pickings are very slim. Teams that have a player on a rookie contract that is a win-now player rarely want to trade them because of contract control, so realistic options include
4. Larry Nance from ATL
5. Thybulle from POR
6. Boucher from Toronto
7. Grant WIlliams from Charlotte
Of these, Nance is the only one I'm sure is better than Paul Reed who PHI just let go.

If none of those 7 appeal, you're looking at buying high and overpaying for someone like Taylor Hendricks, Isiah Jackson or Ousmanne Dieng and hoping they don't fade and drop out of the playoff rotation.

I think PHI should increase their target salary and pay for someone like DFS, Stewart or Avdija who will actually make a difference in the next playoff run. Otherwise, what's the point -- they should have just kept Reed
Good feedback.

Love BBall Paul, but he's a center and they were able to get a more suitable backup in Drummond for a few mil less. Also, because he was already eating up cap space they wouldn't have been able to sign Caleb Martin without waiving him.

I do like the names you mentioned and I imagine the names you brought up will at least be backup plan targets.

Do you think Santi Aldama or Simone Fontecchio would be available. They seem like decent options as well.


Aldama I doubt will be available. MEM will probably be shooting for a top 4 playoff seed, and there's a good chance Aldama will be in their rotation, especially if Clarke is slow coming back from injury.

Simone Fontecchio will be available in mid-January. If you're overpaying with draft picks, I think DET should be very interested.
In a no-win argument, the first poster to Let It Go will at least retain some peace of mind

'28 LAC pick to Chi for Dosnomu. 7M per 50/ 40/ 80 shooting, good defense, young legs.
2 1sts for Eason as suggested. Best '26 pick and '30 pick light protections.

We can take up to 17.1 with KJ, McCain, RCIV, and Reggie Jackson (or another minimum).

Personally I'm hoping we can get adjvia out of portland as a third or 4th team whenever they finally move ayton/grant/simons

Tari Eason and Jarrace Walker are both interesting names. Not sure if either franchise is willing to part with them though. If Indy wants to hang onto Walker, does Toppin become available? Kuminga is another name I'd be watching. GS could kick the can down the road by acquiring more picks and keeping KJ around next year.
2025-2026 Philadelphia 76ers:

Maxey/McCain/Lowry
Grimes/Edgecombe/Gordon
Oubre/Edwards
George/Watford/Walker
Embiid/Bona/Drummond/Broome

How about Vanderbuilt. Any chance the Lakers might want a pick or two for him to facilitate a bigger trade?

Only way I see us trading Santi is for a roster improvement not for picks.
