NEW 76ers Rumors: Philadelphia TRADING For Lauri Markkanen or Jimmy Butler? Sign Marcus Morris?
[Music] coming up on today’s Philadelphia 76ers Now by chat sports I’m Chase senior you have questions I have answers we’re going to open up the floor and hear from our loyal viewers our subscribers who we like to call real ones and we’re just going to chop it up here on 76ers now because Philadelphia making some Splash moves in NBA free agency we want to talk about it with the fan base here because the level of excitement is certainly palpable before we take those questions your hot takes and your analysis included as well make sure you subscribe to the show for daily and yearound coverage of the Sixers my goal is to provide entertaining insightful informative thought-provoking content that involves you so as you can see hit that sub button we’re approaching 18,000 subscribers and if you love the Sixers this is the spot for you let’s begin with this $10 Super Chat coming in from Addison Hoover what’s good any news for the Sixers well if you’re talking about the grand scheme of things I know that you’ve been watching our live shows here for the first two days of free agency you know what Philadelphia has done got things started with signing Andre Drummond to a 2-year 10 million deal Eric Gordon really good shooter on the vet Min oneye 3.3 I imagine he’s going to be a backup for this team and Kelly UB could start at the two he’s coming back to Philadelphia on a 2-year 16.3 $3 million deal a good pay raise for him after he played on the vet Min last year and embraced his role Paul George at what 3:00 a.m. eastern going into Tuesday four years $212 million and then tyres Maxi sorry that was going into Monday I got confused because free agency started on Sunday for me that was my Monday so going into Monday Tyrese Maxi five years $24 million he signed that deal on Monday morning so that’s what Philadelphia’s done so far they did lose a couple of players too up to this point Nicholas patum signing with the Clippers two years 10 a half million and then DeAnthony Melton on the mid-level exception he signing a one-year deal with golden state 12.8 are the dollar figures there the Warriors lose Kay Thompson they bring in De Anthony Melton them in the Sixers said to be suitors potentially for l him champ Burns $5 Super Chat gang gang who are the Sixers looking at for shooting guard power forward help also add sing a show tune to the wheel as we’re live and we add stuff to the spinning wheel once people send in a Super Chat as for chip shooting guards and power forwards if the Sixers strike out on lri marinin and there’s a lot of chatter that the Sixers could land Lai Markin in it is also possible if they include Paul Reed Ricky counil and some draft picks to bring in marinin he would be your four that would be the dream Target if you can’t make it happen because Danny a might stiff you or Danny a doesn’t want to do a deal with you or you don’t have enough another team blows the Jazz out of the water or Lori marinan is too expensive Dario shich I think would be a good fit um and a couple of other players out there shooting guard I think you might be set you know you have Jared McCain you have Eric Gordon you brought back Kelly UB I think you might be good at that shooting guard spot yeah if you want to add one more shooting guard I wouldn’t mind adding someone like amalik Beasley just a specialist who can come in in situations and knock down some threes Gary Harris as well could be interesting option but again you don’t have much money left to here anymore at this point at the four I mean you said it Dario sarich we obviously have seen him play here before and I think his skill set actually fits in really nicely next to Paul George next to Joel embiid if you you know can’t L A sarch some other options could bring back Marcus Morris we saw him have a pretty decent season for the Sixers last year before he was dealt away and then you know could you go get a Jay Crowder is is an option you know there’s just not a lot of the forward Market in for agency is is pretty thin right now like a Jeff Green or do you go get more of a wing that can kind of play the four you know Haywood heith for the heat is a good Defender who can shoot the three a little bit Caleb Martin’s probably a little bit out of your price range so some names there to keep an eye on again Sixers now that they’ve signed Maxi they signed Paul George use the mid-level exception on UB they really don’t have a lot of avenues left to sign a player that can use the buy annual exception which I believe is about $5 million um and that’s really all they have left at this point just that minimums and bringing back their own guys so whenever they make a move though you know we got you we’ll talk about it I’d also make a trade for Dorian finny Smith if that’s at all possible you know it’s like marinin Dorian finy Smith Dario shich Dorian finy Smith is a position player in today’s NBA who can guard multiple positions and I think it would be an ideal fit alongside Joel embiid he knocks down that corner three he’s battle tested he’s tough he’s a dog he’s willing to get it out of the mud a diamond and the rough type of guy dodo Dorian FY Smith would be a really good acquisition he the dream what are your thoughts on still trading for Jimmy Butler I think that would be a perfect match to match up with the Celtics Wings he’s on an expiring deal I think Jimmy Butler’s really going to want to prove himself I think at the end of the day too he doesn’t want to leave Miami and Miami doesn’t want to get rid of Jimmy Butler Miami is also in a position here where they reup with bam atabo they’re giving him a massive contract extension if they trade away Jimmy Butler they’re an extremely mid team and they’re just in the middle of nowhere in a really deep Eastern Conference whereas if you have Jimmy Butler you could consider the Miami Heat as contenders given Eric spoler as the coach and Jimmy Butler and the current construction of that roster I just don’t think it’s affordable or it’s feasible to even bring in Jimmy Butler and also at that point your lineup might look a little bit weird you have tyres Maxi at the one either Butler or George at the two and three what do you still do at that four spot do you have one of those players at the four Kelly UB at the two Joel embiid at the five I just don’t think from a roster construction standpoint and a financial standpoint Philadelphia’s going to make that happen but do appreciate that question Denzel Mobly who are potential trade targets for the 76ers I would say a player like lri marinan and a player like dorrian finny Smith both of those players would be really good at the four if you want to bring in a cam Johnson if the Brooklyn Nets continue on this fire sale I would really like cam Johnson as a three-point shooter who has length who has size who has played in also some big playoff games with the Phoenix Suns cheese Doodles brings up Jeremy Grant as a potential trade Target for Philadelphia chip that’s maybe another name that you could throw in the mix here for the Sixers as the process sixer could return back to the 76ers yeah I think he’d be a solid fit at that four position now again you will have to trade for him and he’s on a little bit of a larger contract I believe about2 9 million this season or at least yeah about 29 million so again how do you meet that salary that’s probably going to have to be you know sign and trade where you resign buddy heel to a big deal and then package in probably probably Paul Reed I don’t know if you had to move rcky Council terms of his his fit I mean he has put up some decent numbers on bad teams I do think he is certainly available for the right price because the Blazers are clearly in heavy heavy rebuild mode trying to figure out what young guys scoot Shaden sharp are a part of their long-term future so I think jimy grd would fit well might cost you a couple first round picks and again that salary is a little bit large but I think on a winning team as a shoot fifth starter fourth or fifth guy she’s Doodles like where your heads at brother like where your heads at there Harris saying hey guys what do you think about trading for Lui we talked about that even Luke Canard Luke Canard is a very very good shoo who’s always consistently shooting and knocking down more than 40% of his three-point attempts I don’t think he’s been able to stay with the team because the defense is a really big issue and because of that and the price tag because he signed a big deal a few years ago that’s why he hasn’t really been able to kind of stick around with one organization godspeed what about Marcus Morris so Marcus Morris at the four would work and Philadelphia said to have interest in him I thought that Marcus Morris played pretty well for the Sixers and then at the NBA trade deadline he was traded away but when he was included in that James Harden trade to the Clippers he hit a couple of big shots I love how tough he is he’s very mentally strong which you need in a loaded East especially in a place like Philadelphia you could also get him on the vet Min could he be that backup for I would really like that move Peter Thurman what about a trade for John Collins I think John Collins is a player who’s just too expensive and I just worry about some of the chatter around John Collins the last couple of years let me double check on the contract for John Collins because I thought he signed a pretty big deal a few years ago with the Atlanta Hawks when they tried to capitalize after that run to the Eastern Conference Finals but that’s a player I think who’s going to be out of the Sixers price range and look like Lori Markin is going to cost a lot um Dorian finy Smith is making a decent amount of money John Collins is a capit 2024 2025 at 26.5 million so I don’t like the price there I also don’t like the player that you would be bringing in for that price point yeah I mean if you’re going to pay that much money I’d much rather have Jeremy Grant John Collins had like a couple good years early in his career in Atlanta where he was able to shoot the three and kind of looked like a building block and then ever since then with Atlanta and with Utah like he just hasn’t been able to find that offensive game that he once had he’s athletic for sure not as good of a Defender as you’d hope for someone as athletic as he is so I think he’s overpaid too much money he has a player option next season that he’s definitely going to opt into at 26 mil so there’s better options again it if you can even match that money which would be tough uh I think there’s other routes i’ go again Lor marinan Jeremy Grant John Collins not really someone I think fits in too well with the Sixers yeah Peter Thurman he’s rocking the real one chat sports shirt absolutely love it right there he’s a huge supporter of what we do on Eagles now and 76ers now

Saric is cooked and he wasn't good years ago. Big PF are not the trend, bigger wings are.
Jacob toppin, precious achiuwa, PF.. most people are out on Miles Bridges because of the legal issues, but he will be the only perfect fit out of all of them
Marcus smart please
Markkenan what’s a max.. if you trade for him.. it’s a one year rental.. he’s gone next year.. make no sense to give up so much to get him and we can’t afford him after this year‼️🤷🏽♂️
Is it even possible to trade for Jimmy at this point? Without all the open cap space, don’t we need to match salaries?
Tbh Ben Simmons on a cheap deal puts us right at the championship as crazy as it sounds
I don't want Lauri Markkanen for a one year rental.
Dario would be my best bet because of size & range
A 6'6' 3&D wing Justin Holiday is available and Simone Fontecchio via a trade with Detriot are my top gets!
Markaanen would be great, Six would be unbeatable
Maxey
Oubre
George
Bona
Embiid
McCain
Hield
Edwards
Morris
Drummond
Bona is small enough to cover 4s down low and if there’s a switch hopefully PG still got the clamps to hold it down on the perimeter. That keeps Embiid out of early foul trouble trying to guard both the 4 and 5 alone and it’s fucked up to say but until we can get a Cam Johnson type starting 4 Bona gets minutes and he’s kinda sitting duck but I think it’s for the best seeing as how our big man MVP won’t have to sit with a couple fouls 4 minutes into the 1st quarter.
How Sway????
Now having 3 max contracts, you need smaller contracts. And save the draft picks until the trade deadline. Bring back the balance of last year's team on 1 year contracts. Morris Sr. is a good option as well.
How bout robert covington cheap a decent spot up shooter good rebounder and can still play good defense good teammate and hes 6ft9 long arms and a great rim protector at 6ft9
Marcus Morris
Sixers Lauri I really like him, We need a stronger team 💪🏿💪🏿 New York and Boston got better, keep rolling the ball, Let's go Sixers 💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Lauri doesn’t make sense bc he’s due for a max just try and get Dorian or cam Johnson tbh
Get Lauri now
I liked Lauri more then PG
Trade for Bol Bal wouldn’t have to give much and he’s young yall keep talking about all these old guys
They need to trade for a starting forward that can rebound, add a point guard, and ideally add a guard to start next Maxey so Kelly can come off the bench.
I woulda taken Lauri over PG13 – fits our needs more – younger and left money for other players
Overpaid for PG. $53 million per year? CRAZY!
Mo Wagner would bring youth and hustle at the 4
Mo Wagner please !!!!
If we get Lauri with PG im going streaking naked.
how are the celtics doing it. Brown and tatum have highest contracts ever still paying white, holiday, Porzingas and horford nicely
any chance bringing seth curry back?
Anyone wana buy some of my seats off me this year?
I think Finney-Smith or Grant would be a great fit next to Embiid
Grant would be nice
