MAJOR 76ers Rumors: Sixers TRADING For Dorian Finney-Smith And WAIVING Paul Reed?

[Music] we have another Loaded show coming your way on today’s Philadelphia 76ers now and we want to hit on these two stories here are the Sixers about to move on from Paul Reed to clear up some money on the cap and then Story number two according to reports darl mo may be working the phones to try to find out who is going to be the power forward for this basketball team and could it be Dorian finy Smith who’s currently on the Brooklyn Net stay tuned for that but first let’s take a look at our July sub battle Philadelphia 76ers now has been humming it has been the best stretch in the history of this program and I launched this channel during the summer of 20121 the success the views the subscribers the live shows all of it has been great and while the Boston Celtics have owned the Sixers on the floor we are owning Celtics today in subscribers picked up since July first 308 new Subs to 73 subs and they just won a championship so let’s make ourselves feel better about always losing to the Celtics in the playoffs let’s get that Victory inside the walls at chat sports let’s get those bragging rights hit that sub button and at the end of the day you get daily coverage of the Philadelphia 76ers so if you love this squad we have you covered with our coverage Story number one is Paul Reed gone bball Paul second round pick solid developmental story he was a g-league sensation his development a little bit slow in the early portion of his NBA career we have seen the glimpses of him being a solid player but a couple of issues here number one is a little bit expensive on a team that is trying to free up some money because they’re in need of having to stack up depth on this roster after giving Paul George and Tyrese Maxim Max contracts and they need some more dep number two he’s a little bit of a tweener too small to be the five good four but he’s not a good foot in this starting lineup alongside Joel embiid and there are better options out there like trading for Dorian finny Smith who would just make this team so much better if you can acquire him as compared to just having Paul Reed at the four on this basketball team and the 76ers right now kind of expected to wave or trade Paul re in order to add another power forward Michael Scot of hoopsy with the Intel here saying this Philadelphia is scouring the free agent market and potential trade options to land another forward with Paul Reed expected to be waved or used in a trade League sources told Hoops height and in addition to Paul Reed being a fun developmental story as a second round pick he kind of carries himself in a very Philadelphia type of manner his saying his personal saying out out the mud he’s a diamond in the rough Blue Collar guy always been doubted bball Paul though has no guaranteed money left on his deal so the Sixers very easily can clear up about $8 million in a move just by cutting him the problem with Paul Reed here going back to what I alluded to a little bit earlier you think about who he is as a player right and I mentioned some of these things and we’ll add on top of it as part of today’s talk show not big or strong enough to play the five we’ve seen bigger centers give him problems he’s not fast or skilled enough to play the four and he really hasn’t developed a reliable outside shot for him to be that fourman given the current construction of this roster alongside Joel embiid Paul George Tyrese Maxi and Kelly UB that’s why a player like during Infinity Smith is a player who we’re going to talk about as a great trade candidate that’s why we’ve brought up a player like Lori marinan which does seem real unrealistic at this point but those types of players would be a really good fit on the Sixers team Paul Reed’s career stats there has been growth here and I don’t know if Glenn Rivers did him any favors early in his career by not giving him a bunch of time and minutes and the runway to really develop last year certainly a career year for him coming off that big contract in which the Utah Jazz tried to snatch him away seven points per game six rebounds a block per night 5 4% from the field those numbers are pretty good I wouldn’t mind them as a backup but $8 million for a team that’s a little bit cash strap chip if you can free that cash flow up it just helps you build out the rest of your roster and the Sixers are in need of having to do that right now yeah look Sixers according to Old reports have about $9 million in available cap space right now it’s not a ton and again Paul Reed’s making Just Around 8 million so if you straight up cut him you can save that money you could also include them in a trade which I think is more likely that that they include him in a trade for another forward which again we’ll talk about here in a second but I’ve been a big fan of Paul Reed ever since he’s come to the 76ers I mean his development he was very very raw coming out of depal I believe and he’s developed you know somewhat slowly but we’ve seen those flashes right he has games where you can see it all kind of come together for him and he’s able to play solid defense and have good touch around the rim yeah and play smart but there’s also so many moments where he doesn’t play smart he doesn’t have that awareness to use the skills that he does have to his best advantage and in the G League he was able to shoot it from the outside he was able to shoot the three ball but he hasn’t been able to do that in the NBA and so while I think theoretically he could play the four and play next to Joel embiid that depends on if that outside shot can hit or not and it hasn’t been able to fall reliably in the end NBA so as much as I love Paul Reed I love his mentality I love what he’s about and what he brings to this team I just don’t think that $8 million if they can find a useful way to spend it whether that’s cutting him and sighing someone or using it as a trade piece I think it just makes more sense to let him go so it sucks to see you know obviously just resigned him last year after the Jazz try to steal him away but look this team’s competing for a championship this year and unless Reed is able to develop a jumper he doesn’t really have much of a way for Play Time honestly so might be on his way out we’ll see what happens here in the next coming days think about what has happened and what could happen for Philadelphia you upgraded from Tobias Harris to Paul George massive upgrade in Pay yes but as far as the construction of your team you were so much more better off with Paul George as compared to debias Harris imagine two if you could use some of that money that currently is being allocated to Paul Reed and you use that to acquire Dorian finy Smith how much of an upgrade that would be I know that sometimes we can get emotional about players who we like and wanting to keep them around what I’m worried about putting together the best team possible and Daryl Moy is trying to do that as well with that let’s pop up today’s poll question what should the 76ers do with bball Paul t for trade or k for keep let us know down in the comments section right now Story number two could the Sixers will the Sixers trade Paul Reed as part of a package for Dorian finy Smith so that he can be the four on this team lot of Buzz right now that the Sixers are interested in DFS that is durian finny Smith and they’re showing interest in him to maybe be the fourman for this team which would complete their starting five by the way I would imagine and it would be Tyrese Maxi at the one Kelly UB at the two Paul George at the three dorrian finny Smith otherwise known as dodo at the four and then Joel embiid at the five it’s one of the best starting fives in the entire NBA the Sixers already have the highest scoring big three with PG Maxi and embiid from last year Michael Scot once again from hoop site on this front the 76ers have exploratory interest in trading for Nets forward Dorian finny Smith League Source has told Hoops hype but nothing is considered imminent there well darl mury I want things to be imminent No Sleep Till finny he is a perfect three and D Wing to start at the four he can guard multiple positions he can knock down that corner three he’s very active on both ends of the floor he fits seamlessly I think back to how he played on a star studded team a couple of years ago that made it to the Western Conference Finals with the Dallas Mavericks luuka donic Jaylen Brun and Dorian FY Smith hit big shots during that playoff run he had a lot of big defensive sequences and the numbers don’t necessarily scream at you right but this is a player who’s going to score it a little bit he’s going to fit in seamlessly he’s going to rebound the basketball he’s going to play hard his three-point numbers the last two years with the Brooklyn Nets have not been great 33.7% and 34.8% there’s a reason for that the Nets have had an awful team so Dorian finy Smith has not gotten the looks that he was getting previously with the team like the Dallas Mavericks and look at what he did when he was on a better Squad he comes to Philadelphia he’s on a better Squad he was a 39% three-point shooter I think that he can get back to that type of production his Advanced stats in 2023 2024 again I expect these numbers to be on the uptick when he’s playing on a better team because teams aren’t going to be focusing on him they’re going to be focused on Paul George Maxi and Joel embiid catch and shoot three-point percentage nearly 35% you’d like for that to be higher I think it could be for Philadelphia this is projecting here but teams have to project for what a player could become if you’re looking at him as a trade candidate Corner threo percentage 34.5% above the break threo percentage 35.2 and then his true shooting percentage 54 A5 Philadelphia could also use use the decline in numbers to their advantage in their negotiations with the Brooklyn Nets and say his numbers haven’t been the same from when they were a couple of years ago according to reports you turned down two first round picks for Dorian finy Smith two years ago we’re not going to give you two firsts but we’ll give you a first in Paul Reed I think that gets the job done another part of this is that for the player that you could be getting in Dorian finny Smith if he plays up to his potential he’s very affordable I’m willing to pay this salary this money for a player who can defend multiple positions who fits in on the offensive end of the floor sub5 million for 2024 2025 and then 15.3 in 2025 2026 what of the Sixers also talked about having continuity having some of the same pieces around together for a couple of years there’s been so much movement so much roster fluidity under Joel NB throughout his entire career he just wants to build camaraderie and continuity with his teammates now you can start to have the makings of that you signed Paul George to a four-year contract you signed Maxi to a Max right you signed Kelly UB to a two-year deal second year player option but still Andre Drummond two-year deal second year is that option Dorian finny Smith two years left on his contract so you know over the next two years what your team pretty much is going to be here is our Dorian finy Smith trade idea by the way and let us know what you think about it down in the comments section here 76ers get Dorian finny Smith and then the Nets get Paul Reed because they play the same position him alongside Nick Claxton not the best fit but he can be your backup five he could be a starting or backup four on a bad team and then you give up a 2026 first round pick and that pick you also have the Clippers picks at your disposal and the Nets are in a position right now where it looks as though they’re going to rebuild so you have some flexibility with what you could give up as far as the draft compensation for DFS chip Dorian finy Smith not the player that lur marinan is but maybe in that next tier or a tier below yeah look I think he’d still be sort of that perfect missing piece in the sixer starting five every team every championship team needs these guys that are low maintenance on offense they don’t need the ball they don’t need to be scoring all the time and they can play defense that’s what DFS does you know again we talked about how the numbers with the Nets haven’t been good they they haven’t had a true point guard to set up other players they’ve been rocking with Cam Thomas who is a Score first guard they’ve been trying to make Mikel Bridges more of a playmaker but he’s never really been that as well either so I think again it would be more similar to when he was with Dallas shooting close to to 40% from three he’s going to get a lot of wide open looks playing with the Sixers Maxi Paul George Kelly UB Joel embiid they’re all going to draw the all the attention and hopefully the hope is that D Anthony Smith can stand in that corner stand above the break catch and shoot knock down those threes but again I think most importantly it’s that defensive versatility he can guard two through four realistically he’s not going to cost you too much you know would the Nets want two first round picks maybe would I be willing to do it maybe they’d be willing to If instead of just the Sixers first you you included just the Clippers first which at this point could be a very valuable pick in 2028 you know would they ask for Ricky Council then is that like do you want to give up Paul Reed and Ricky Council it’s tough but again you’re a team trying to win a championship right and I think dor Anthony Smith is a player that all teams covet three and D wings that are reliable that are pretty cheap for the most part so Sixers have interest I I think it all makes sense when you consider they’re trying to move Paul Reed they’re interested in Doran and vny Smith I would predict a move happens we’ll see what the compensation might be but Dorian finy Smith could he be the last piece for Philly we will find out so that trade that we just showed you the trade that we discussed let’s pop it back up here and ask you what you think I see Walter Miller in the comment section live on our show saying I would just do a player for player swap but for Dorian finny Smith I don’t think the Nets taking that that’s why I think you include the first rounder here would you make this trade Sixers get jorian Smith Nets get Paul Reed and a 2026 first rounder type A for accept D for decline as you venture down to get those votes in
