We are not trading Paul George for Jimmy Butler unless you are fine with no future star free agents signing in Philadelphia which we already had a problem or having to give out the rare no trade clause. The infatuation with Jimmy is kind of weird at this point in his career. he is very dependent on foul baiting to score because he can't shoot. and he foul bout by seeking lower body contact which is why he can't play regular season games. id rather wait for Paul George to adjust and figure things out. he started to look good with just him and maxey. he'll adjust and get comfortable with Embiid taking shots away.

I personally would like another 3&D wing but in the vein of Jrue Holiday or OG Annuoby. Caleb Martin is our best perimeter on ball defender so I like him and Yasele rotating at the 4. Oubre need to back up Paul at the 3. Maxey can play y the 1 so that leaves a starter at the 2. let Eric gordon coach, he's washed. mccains played the 1 when he returns. cut into Lowry and Jacksons playing time.

what 2-guard 3 and d that can contribute defense is available? Josh Green in Charlotte? Return of DeAnthony Melton? Lu Dort? or do we ant another shooter with no defense? Camron Johnson, Malik Beasley?

Shake Milton.

Why are so many people eager to trade McCain when he has shown flashes of being good? Just wait until he is healthy again and give it some time to evaluate him before you go trading him. It's like buying a pizza with a Bitcoin....who would do such a thing!

Unless some deal falls into our lap (like Keegan Murray for cheap), we should just let this season play out and keep our assets in reserve. I need to see way more from PG & Embiid before I push my chips in for this team.

This x 1000.

I think Jalen Smith from Chicago would be a perfect low risk, low price trade for us.

He’d provide so much better spacing than Drummond, and could probably play alongside Yabu and Embiid

They just extended him for the low. They prolly look at him Cody White and Giddey as building blocks. Nikola & LaVine are who they want to move unfortunately.

Johnathan Kuminga
Shaedon Sharpe
Lauri Markannen
Keegan Murray
Jalen Smith
Walker Kessler
Robert Williams
Herb Jones
Cameron Johnson
Isaiah Stewart

All names that we should be at the very least, asking about before the trade deadline.

Herb Jones and Keegan Murray are dream targets.
Portland isn’t trading Sharpe. I don’t think Jalen Smith is available without an overpay but he may be obtainable. Cameron Johnson is for sure available. He could be our Michal Porter Jr. but he doesn’t rebound either which is our greatest weakness but at least it would add shooting.

Hey, an actual trade. DLo wouldn't be an awful low end target for us if the Nets look to repackage him for a couple 2nds. Solid 6th man skillset (although he's never really been all that receptive to that role). Stopgap for the year with McCain out.

[ProcessDoctor]

DLO just goes back and forth between Brooklyn and LAL lmao.

Kinda crazy how low his value is. I don't really like this for LAL.

His salary is too high - we’d need to give Martin and Drummond, which is too much

I imagine Oubre would out the door before Martin, but point stands.

I do think he’d help, but only if he was making closer to vet min

No thanks DLo due to his salary. Some stop gap cheap guards I would target are-

Markelle Fultz [FA]
Dennis Smith Jr. [FA]
Alec Burks [MIA]
Delon Wright [MIL]
Cam Payne [NYK]
Tyus Jones [PHO]
Shake Milton [LAL]

For the non-FA players that are on teams that are contenders right now, we did trade for Cam Payne from MIL last year, so these targets don't seem that far fetched to me.

Markelle was apparently hurt, but for all I know he could be healthy by now.

Seriously has Fultz ever been healthy?

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Is Kyle Kuzma a fit here? He's not my top choice, but his trade value is low right now. Would he help us?

WSH still wants a first last I heard. Also matching his salary would send out a lot of depth.

[the_process]

McCain, KJM, and the 26 OKC 1st for Keegan Murray.

He's a really inefficient scorer. Maybe that could improve some on a team with stars if he buys into the right role.

Would have to trade at least one of Oubre or Caleb (+ KJ + more) to match his salary. I think the difficulty of matching is prohibitive for what he brings to the table (as opposed to John Collins who was previously suggested and has a fairly similar salary).

Just trying to come up with a McCain deal that I'd actually find intriguing:

Bones of a deal: Paul George/McCain for Kevin Durant (would require more players and looping in a 3rd team to make a legal deal between these 2 teams, but KD does make more than PG, so they can get around the aggregation part by making 2 separate deals on their end)

A lot of caveats here. KD would need to ask out with the Suns wanting to continue to be competitive for this to be viable. Need to find a 3rd team to eat a small amount of salary also.

I'd be worried about KD's health here, but that dude is still a killer.

Unrealistic as hell, but whatever

The Jared deals just make no sense for the team overall, and ones that may make sense are unlikely for reasons outside of Sixers control. Such as Durant needing to ask out and the Suns wanting George.

That pretty much is the problem for all the veteran superstar guys.... Even if they are unhappy... Would that team want George?

No young players makes sense to me. Like I've seen Coby White, intriguing, but I wouldn't make that trade for Jared and KJ for instance.
