This WILD Mock Trade Would Change EVERYTHING For The Sixers!



This WILD Mock Trade Would Change EVERYTHING For The Sixers!

so the first trade I put and again these are not signings these are trades because PG would have to be signed LeBron would have to be signed but a realistic trade is Jimmy Butler if the heat decide to move on and they decide to say well you know we don’t want to deal with Butler anymore and Pat Riley’s Fed Up and Miami says we’re gonna go in a different direction and we feel like Butler is peaked this is how I could see a trade playing out now I all all indications have said the Sixers would have to give up multiple first round picks and I agree with that you know even though you’re getting a 34y old Jimmy Butler he wants a Max extension he wants to pretty much be with a team for the rest of his career so you’re GNA have to give up assets and again this is not what I would prefer to do I would rather find the best role players out there the best gems and try to make magic right try to strike lightning with some of these guys but it’s hard do that and if you don’t want to waste another season of embiid’s prime if you mess that up the more sure route is probably to get a guy who you know you know can already give you you know 20 to 25 points per game and can show up in the playoffs Etc if healthy so in this first mock trade scenario it is a two- team trade with the Sixers and the Miami Heat the Sixers give up exactly what has been rumored three first round picks they gave up their first this year 2024 number 16 overall they give up the first round pick in 2026 via OKC Houston or the Clippers and then they give up their first round pick in 2028 a top five protected what do we think about this now I want to throw in a little bit of a wrinkle all right stay with me ladies and gentlemen because I think if a Jimmy Butler trade happens let me know if you agree or disagree I think that it’s actually going to be a three team so in this trade it is now a three team deal with the Sixers the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers the Miami Heat now get Donovan Mitchell because I I think Pat Riley’s mindset is if we move off Jimmy we don’t want to just take a complete step back we still want to contend we want to get younger Donovan Mitchell a superstar in his prime had a great playoffs until he got injured and all indications are that you know he hasn’t been happy in Cleveland now on the flip side they’re going to do whatever it takes to keep him so maybe they convince Donovan Mitchell that Cleveland is his home and they keep him around but there’s a lot going on with him and Darius scarland so maybe the Cavaliers decide to trade Mitchell and in return they get Tyler herro they get three first round picks well actually Four first round picks two from Philly and two from Miami and they get a second round pick the heat get a first rounder in 2028 from Philadelphia so basically in this trade the Sixers get Jimmy Butler and they trade the three first round picks that we have heard about for weeks now and the Miami Heat end up giving up Tyler herro two first round picks and a second but they get one back from Philly so the heat end up giving up Tyler herro a first round pick if you you know cancel them out and a second round pick the Sixers give up the three first the heat get Donovan Mitchell superstar in his prime a guard who could run a really nasty pick and roll with bam atab bio Sixers get Jimmy Butler to be that third star that Wing who can hopefully show up with Tyrese Maxi and Joel embiid and then the Cavaliers get a hall of assets that they can use to build in the next couple years and continue to grow with say Evan Mobley maybe Jared Allen if he’s still there whoever their new coaches Darius Garland if he’s still there do we think that this could happen now I will add in one thing here as you can see at the bottom the stien rule would kick in so this trade couldn’t be completed until after the draft maybe you know the Cavaliers would have the Sixers and the Miami Heat draft for them because the Cavs would be getting number 15 and 16 in this draft in this mock trade they would get both first round picks 15 and 16 from Miami and Philly so I think that you know obviously the Cavs are going to want to upgrade immediately they would have the Sixers and heat draft but this trade could be completed after the NBA draft this one is more so we’ll take a little step back uh the Sixers need highlevel role players if they decide to go out and go the third star route if they decide to go the role player route whichever route they go this deal makes way too much sense Alex Caruso should have been traded at the last deadline demard de Rosen should have been traded Drummond should have been traded I don’t know why this Chicago Bulls ever in their right mind thought that they could contend but as it showed they could not and the Bulls are in purgatory like they need to just hit the reset button and get rid of these guys Alex Caruso is on one of the best contracts in the NBA right now obviously you would hope to extend him still pretty young 6 fo five Guard Great on ball Defender knocked down 40% of his threes last year average 10 points per game two almost two steals per game just an excellent role player and I just really like his game I think he could fit very well next to Tyrese Maxi bring more of that backourt defense that you need and in this deal the Sixers would give up their second round pick this year number 41 which is actually from Chicago originally and they would also give up their first round pick in 26 via OKC Houston or LA Clippers so this is um probably going to be a little less favorable than their own it all depends on how the Sixers play out these next couple years but still should be a decent first round pick so the Sixers are essentially given up a later first round pick and a second round pick to the Chicago Bulls I’m not going to sit here and say that another team wouldn’t Trump this offer and maybe go above but this is the base of where I would start it at and I would try to get Alex Caruso I’m not worried about a second round pick I’d much rather get Alex Caruso a solidified role player who can come in and immediately impact winning is not going to cost you a lot this season all of the objectives in mind this type of player makes too much sense for Philadelphia now before we go back to our last star trade I want to go to another role player because I’ve been saying for about two and a half years now that Jordan Clarkson is a perfect fit on the Philadelphia 76ers he’s a microwave scorer Off the Bench he’s a bucket getter yes he’s is making $14 million per year which is a little bit steep for a type of guy like that but as the cap continues to increase as the limits continue to increase 14 million really isn’t that much now Jordan Clarkson is an adequate Defender at best but he’s a sniper man he can knock down shots from long range he can knock down from the midi he can create off the dribble and he can just heat up there’s going to be stretches just like any role player where he’s inconsistent and he’s shot chucking and he’s inefficient but overall you look at this guy’s numbers man he can give you 15 to 20 a game he can be that pure six-man scorer and I really like Jordan Clarkson I think he’d be a great fit when it comes to Utah I think they’re going to try to shed some salary they they’re saying that they want to build around Larry marinin I don’t know how effective that will be they would give up their own first round pick and they would get back a first via Minnesota or Cleveland and then they would also give up a second round pick in 2027 I definitely wouldn’t overpay for Jordan Clarkson Because again he’s only got two years left on the deal so I wouldn’t go over the top and you know try to give up multiple first or a really good uh placed first round pick but I would swap first round picks and I would give up a second Brandon Ingram on the Philadelphia 76ers yes or no because it seems like if Jimmy Butler stays put and Paul George stays put and LeBron stays put it feels like Brandon Ingram is the most sure guy to get moved this off season now personally I do not want Brandon Ingram but I think he could be a backup plan for the 76ers but I saw the way that he played down the stretch of this season the Pelicans needed him to emerge and step up and then especially when Zion went down they needed Brandon Ingram to be that guy and he just wasn’t I feel like some team is gonna pay him though I feel like some team will give up assets and pay him he wants a Max contract I don’t know if he’ll get that but I think somebody will give him good money on three four or five years and I don’t know I feel like it could be the Sixers matter of fact it’s funny how everything plays out you know people wanted the Sixers to draft him and they ended up drafting Ben Simmons and just to see how their careers have shaped out the Pelicans need to retool I don’t think they need to rebuild but I think they need to retool around Zion they might move McCollum they might move Ingram Ingram did not look happy in New Orleans so anyway in this mock trade this is how I think one would play out I think the Sixers would get Brandon Ingram and again keep in mind that the Sixers has a lot of cap space so they would not have to give up salaries in in these types of deals right they’d be able to take it on just like in the in the uh Jimmy Butler trade but they would take on the 36 mil for Brandon Ingram they’d probably end up extending him right and they’d bring him into a system with maxi and beid could Nick nurse unlock Brandon Ingram get more out of him maybe but outside of Ingram the Sixers would swap first round picks in 24 they would move from 16 back to 21 the Sixers would also give up a first round pick in 2026 the one that’s via OKC Houston or La they would give up a second and 27 they would give up a first in 29 and then swaps second rounds in 2030 so overall two first rounders and a second round pick and pick swaps and I know some people in the chat are probably going to look at this and say wow that’s way too much I agree however I would like you to go back and look at the James Harden trade go back and look at the Kevin Durant trade look at the Rudy goar trade ever since that goar trade the whole Market has been screwed up flipped on its head and these guys are just getting traded for way too much now in my opinion but um yeah there there’s a lot of haul in these trades I personally would not like it but if it comes down to this and you have no other option okay I guess we can make it work

  1. If we can't Butler, I'd be fine with Ingram ad a backup plan. Many won't like me say this but I rather have him over PG. He's younger and he'd be a little cheaper than PG. I'm down with acquiring Caruso. Oh, and we have to bring Drummond back to Philly.

  2. We did not extend a 29yr old Jimmy instead traded him for Josh Richardson and now you wanna give up 3 first plus a max extension for a 35yr old Jimmy WTF are we doing?

  3. The sixers need to go the route of getting as many good 25-26 year old players with money in separate deals, and with draft picks.. If they cannot get what they want this off season, wait until next season, in or out of season.. We do not want another 5 year deal for a " Tobias Harris", type player because we cannot afford another 5 years of a Tobias Harris type player during Embid years.. Tobias Harris single handily along with Simmons, has destroyed this team on the court with their lousy play, and off the court with their salaries, that stopped us for 5 years of improving.. Stay away from Tobias Harris type players, please.. The only good thing about this yaer was seeing Tobias Harris leave..

  4. what is it with some fans wanting Butler…he is going down hill…injury prone…NOOOOO Butler…I'd rather have Ingram or Kouzma….no Butler he is done..why do you think Miami is letting him go
