Sixers/Rockets/Raptors

[Bentley1225]

Ill offer this idea for:
-Sixers get under tax apron given Embiid is hurt and get more size
-Rockets add another veteran SF/PF and a 2nd as they look to make a playoff push
-Raptors take a flyer on 2 younger pieces while moving out a veteran not used in rotation

To Philadelphia (Trade Morris, Springer, 2 2nds)
-Jock Landale (1 year, $8 million plus T.O.s)
-Otto Porter (1 year, $6.3 million)

To Houston (Trade Landale, Tate)
-Marcus Morris Sr. (1 year, $17.1 million)
-2029 Philadelphia or Portland or Los Angeles Clippers 2nd round pick (least favourable)

To Toronto (Trade Porter, waive Temple)
-Jae-Sean Tate (1 year, $6.5 million plus T.O.)
-Jaden Springer (2 years, $6.2 million plus Q.O.)
-2029 Philadelphia or Portland or Los Angeles Clippers 2nd round pick (2nd most favourable)

Why?
-The Sixers get under the apron by swapping out Morris for Porter and Springer for Landale as the Sixers get a frontcourt depth in Embiids absence. Given savings they achieve, they trade the 2 lesser of the 3 2029 2nds

Maxey/Beverley
Melton/Oubre/Martin/Korkmaz
Batum/Porter/House Jr.
Harris/Covington
Reed/Bamba/Landale/Embiid

-The Rockets swap Tate for Morris and move out Landale who isn't needed now given acquisition of Adams. This opens up a roster spot if they want to add a guy like Lowry as another veteran backcourt piece.

VanVleet/Thompson/Holiday
Green/Bullock/FA?
Brooks/Whitmore/Morris
Smith/Green/Eason
Sengun/Marjanovic/Adams

-Raptors leverage open roster spot and cap flexibility to take flyers on Tate and Springer while getting a distant 2nd for further money they take on.
