Sixers Setting Up Another MOVE – Philly Trade With Pistons | Sixers News

Just a few minutes after the buddy heeld was completed by the Philadelphia 76ers it was clear they were not done doing business we got another W bomb this one with a little less noise and a little less excitement attached to it but something clear that there is something

Bigger planned and what the initial W trade that was reported was that the 76ers are trading Daniel house and a 2024 second round pick via the Knicks to the pisted sour tell ESPN so as I waited on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what the exact Outlook who was

Coming to return in the end it does feel that this is a salary move something to lay the groundwork for another deal and W followed this this tweet up with the move gives the Sixers the salary cap cushion to sign buy out players post deadline including the possibility of

Charlotte’s Kyle Lowry should he become available in a contract buyout so we’ve talked about Kyle Larry a great a good bit on here I know I’m personally not the biggest Kyle Lowry guy that there was a point in time in which I would love to have him representing the

Philadelphia 76ers and playing a key role but that was many years ago at this point and the version of Kyle Lowry that I believe currently exists I don’t think is that much of a step but from what the Sixers are getting in Patrick Beverly who frankly I think has played very well

This year and well above my expectations for him so I’m not rushing to bring Kyle Lowry in the same way but this flexibility is still a great thing in what they could do and how the rest of the trade dad line plays out to look a

Little bit into some of the specifics of the salary here that the Philadelphia 76ers saved $18 million by trading Daniel house this coming from yai gosin of Hoops hype he does some awesome work over there but they break down 4.3 million off the payroll 2.5 million off

The luxury tax penalty unimited an 11.2 million gain from The League wide tax distribution the 11.2 million projected assumes that the Lakers duck the tax just $1.3 million over so that how that kind of works there is the luxury tech and and how it evens out with the higher

Paying teams and lower baying teams why the NBA is not a hard cap is essentially teams that are over pay a little bit of penalty that gets kicked back to the teams that do not that’s where these Sixers are playing this balance and why ducking the tax has been important to

Them in past years when you think back to the matis stable trade and and situations like that but for this specifically with these Sixers this opens up some possibilities to get more deals done now I also would like to point out Beyond this that the Philadelphia 76ers are now 2.7 million

Below the luxury tax after their two trades this morning they have two open roster spots and enough flexibility to pursue a player in the buyout market like Kyle Lowry they also create 5.4 million and $4.3 million trade exceptions now those trade exceptions are something I do think that are worth

Noting specifically because one of the is something that Andre Drummond would fit quite comfortably under and Andre Drummond is a guy that we’ve talked about quite a bit on here after these past couple games Sixers losing seven of their past eight is quite clear that

There needs to be an upgrade at the big man position that Paul Reed has not taken the next steps in the way myself and a lot of people have hoped and mo bomba is among one of the most frustrating basketball players I’ve ever watched that it for a guy that is Real

Deal 7 foot with an 8 foot 10 wingspan the fact that he has difficulty rebounding the basketball is so frustrating to watch and it’s even more I guess frustrating because there’s moments where you absolutely see it with Mo where he looks locked in he has his motivation everything’s clicking and

It’s the exact version of what you want a backup center to look like what really you want any level of Center to look like but it just comes and goes far too often and with Paul Reed we know that it is the Controlled Chaos that sometimes

Is not as controlled as it needs to be and that would uh the the good and the bad you have to live with with Paul so bringing a guy like Andre Drummond would stabilize things he would be a a better rim protector than either of these guys

And a better rebounder than any of these guys that’s a huge point of concern for me with the Sixers team is the rebounding that is going on the the lack of ability to just lock down opposing possessions and limit them to one shot that’s a big deal and Andre Drummond did

An excellent job with that even at this point in his career we do remember him from his time in Philadelphia quite fondly I do want to pump my break slightly and say that I think we remember the best version of Andre drumond that there are some good and bad

With him sometimes he tries to do too much sometimes he passes a little too much and tries to create for others in a way that it’s just relax a little Andre but there’s a lot to his game that I do like we do have a report as far as the

Asking price for Andre Drummond this coming from Jake fiser that the Bulls have had dialogue with the Mavericks Sixers and Suns about Drummond and that they the cost is at least multiple second round picks now we just saw the Sixers deal three second round picks in

The deal to get buddy heel but what should be more noteworthy there is they did not touch any of the three available first round picks for trade I do think it’s a lot to give up a first round pick for a guy like Andre Drummond but when you’re weighing the risk reward when

You’re looking at the price in today’s Marketplace it is something that I can potentially look past based on the impact that I think he can bring to this Sixers team regardless I think it’s quite clear that these Sixers have their next steps plan that they do have an

Idea that this current roster that I’m speaking right now at a little bit afternoon is not complete that there will be other guys added to this team whether that be Kyle Lowry potential Gordon Hayward potential Andre Drummond whatever that is there’s more moves that

Must be made and that is a huge deal for this Sixers team that I think we’ve been quite clear myself and everyone else speaking about this team that they have not been a finished product yet this year and they’ve looked especially exposed since the Joel embiid injur and

Just seeing how much he was elevating the roster around him in a way that they may not necessarily be ready for it’s even been frustrating to watch moments like Tyrese Maxi hitting the wall a little bit and not quite being capable of stepping up and being a number one

Option on a night toight basis I don’t want to be too hard on the guy CU he’s still 23 years old has blown past every bit of expectations at this point and frankly is still a far better basketball player at this point in career than anyone could have guessed but I still

Got a call spade and Spade and say I don’t feel fully comfortable thinking he can carry this roster on an every night basis so bringing in help bringing guys that can can help with that is a big deal for this team and the focus for the

Sixers once again they have to walk this two-way dance that you have to find a way to remain afloat tread waterer and keep in the playoff conversation while Joel beid is recovering from his injury and number two you have to be a championship contending team around the

Big man when he does return so Andre Drummond would not be a guy that quite fits that bill to me that come playoff time I don’t see him making much of an impact but he would be an awesome Innings eater right now to help Elevate this team and we talk about guys like

Kyle Lowry maybe there is that signature moment in the playoffs where there’s that one series or one stretch of plays which he turns the game maybe taking a charge down one end hitting a three down the other where the entire momentum of the game flips he does do those types of

Things pretty well so I’m not against that but the bottom line is darl myy you should not be putting down your cell phone until the clock stries strikes midnight or 3:00 I get eastern time it is on the trade deadline I did want to layout for full transparency here myself

I got to run off to Fox Sports the gambl to work at the radio station during that time period that I got to start at 2 there so I will miss the final push for the trade deadline which is why I wanted to get this video out assuming that they

Do make a move and there is some content to rip out I will have another video dropping tonight speaking on what specifically my reaction is to all this but I did want to lay this out here as far as I do think it’s Crystal Clear that the Sixers are laying the

Groundwork that I don’t think that they would go to the the moves to create this type of financial flexibility if there were not plans in in the future they would not just give away Daniel house for the sake of a little cap relief and getting under this the salary or the tax

There if it was not more plans coming I do believe this is a team that intends on uh competing for a championship I still think there is work to do especially when you look around the league with teams like the New York Knicks absolutely dominating today them them bringing buan bogdanovich Alec

Burks couple other moves that they have made to improve their team which already looks quite scary so the Sixers have to get going there is work to do and I am excited that all signs pointing toward that being the case I am curious to see

What the final moves are once again I am in favor of an Andre drumond reunion I have kind of shifted my mindset on that I still would love to add in some sort of variation of a point guard if you want to go big and swing for a Malcolm

Brogden that would be at the top of my list by the way Deonte Murray has not moved yet either so if you really want to swing for the fences even if signs are pointing toward him staying in Atlanta I would love for that to be the

Case I do think the Sixers team is close enough to go for and contend for a championship right now but you got to make it happen so whether they go for that big swing whether they are digging between the margins whether it’s a tus Jones or an Andre Drummond I do think

All signs are pointing to the Sixers are not done yet so let me know you guys thoughts in the comments I want to hear who those missing pieces you think are and sound off in the comments if they did not get the job done if this is all

For nothing if this is just to duck the tax on another year that is very frustrating from a standpoint that I don’t care what Josh Harris is Pockets look like pay the extra tax make the St a championship Contender and that what that’s what the mindset should be inside

There so I do hope that is the case I do have confidence that there are more players being in and essentially if you even want to look at this as a Daniel house trade in extend trade in exchange for Kyle ler your Andre drumond I’m perfectly fine sling in that line so

Feel free to look like that look at it like that if that makes your mind easier I understand burning the draft picks is a little bit frustrating I love having these second round picks myself but you do need that type of ammunition to make processes like that this even possible

So we will see how the rest of the trade deadline writes itself thank you guys for tuning into this video make sure you’re dropping a like drop your comments let me know your thoughts subscribe to the channel and I’ll be talking with you later today peace
