Brian Windhorst expects 76ers to make 1-3 trades before the trade deadline 👀 | The Hoop Collective

So that’s right probably the most interesting thing that’s happened this week so far is that Joel embiid um had a surgery that did not rule him out for the season now I think there’s there’s some Nuance in here had they gone into that surgery uh on Tuesday and procedure

They have not called it a surgery being Vegas I I you know he tore his meniscus and he needed surgery okay um coming out of that event that happened in an operating room um if they had had to repair it I think they would have said

He’s out for the season so the fact that it is re-evaluating four weeks indicates that it was a miniscus sectomy which means they removed some of the meniscus which means that it t it typically enables you to come back in the four to eight week range now they

May get to four weeks and decide with where their team is and decide with where his recovery is that they’re not going to do it so I don’t want to make it sound like I have any idea I don’t think they know either but they are now

Operating in talks like he’s G to come back and hopefully before the playoffs so I would expect Philly to make one to three trades before Thursday afternoon um and I would also expect them to try I’m not saying they’re going to accomplish this I would expect them to

Try to acquire players that either have expiring contracts or that have next year’s salaries that are not fully guaranteed or that could easily be offloaded I think they want to hedge their bets not just with embiid’s injury but hedge their bets on what happens with this season so that if they need to

Go back and open up the 50 million in cap room that they’re currently kind of holding they they can so it would not surprise me so you know they have a whole bunch of guys with expiring contracts the most likely guys to go are Marcus Morris Robert Covington feran

Corkman maybe Daniel house if you get down the list um and I expect them to try to get guys back who are on so you talking about targeting a guy like Bruce Brown team option targeting a guy like uh buan bogdanovich Team option they’re going to try to get a maybe a backup

Center who can sort of play center minutes so you’re talking about potentially a guy like Kelly olenic who’s in the last year of his deal Andre Drummond who’s in the last year of his deal they have three tradable firsts and I think Andre Drummond had a big time

Showcase game against the Wolves Big Time showcase game he had uh double he played really really well this season yeah and Philly has uh couple Smalls on goar mck goar at your own risk man that’s what I don’t mock him Dr did not you sir not you I know Philly has three

Tradeable firsts six tradeable seconds so we’ll see they have to attach anything to any of that um I do also if if I’m looking at another team that I really expect to do something I think Washington um I don’t think based on my conversations that it’s going to be Kyle

Kozma he’s the probably the most interesting player I think it’s more likely uh tus Jones there’s been a number of teams are interested in him we mentioned earlier um Denny Avia a I can’t pronounce his last name AIA AIA um has been in some talks but I kind of be

Surprised if they moved him they signed him to an extension before the year um but he has been dangled out [Applause] [Applause] there what
