Hey guys,
I was lucky enough to have TrillBroDude (host of the YKB podcast) on the latest episode of The Drop Step and within our Atlantic Division preview we talked Sixers.
Attached is that Sixers segment which mainly focused on potential trade targets using the KJ Martin deal closer to the deadline. Let me know your thoughts on the episode and who you’d like Philadelphia to trade for!

I think it kinda depends on how the team looks/plays together. If there were to be a trade right now I think I’d want another backup guard or a 4. But that doesn’t take into account how McCain and Reggie might play. If they look really good then it’s not much of a need. I know Lowry and Gordon aren’t gonna get a ton of minutes, but they are getting up there in age so injuries are always going to be possible.
Overall I just don’t love our depth at the 4. I love the Caleb Martin addition but he’s pretty damn small to play the 4. Don’t know if he has much experience at the 4 and maybe he’s good there, but we don’t know yet. It’s possible Yabusele looks really good and ends up being a strong rotational piece but again, we won’t know until we have some samples from the regular season.
So overall I just don’t know. I know what I want right now, but it might not be the same needs once the trade deadline arrives. My best guess is that we will want to acquire some size, though. I feel as though that’s still a need right now and I have a feeling it will be a need come February as well. Injuries can also shake things up.
We’re really not gonna have a good idea of who they’re after til probably after December 15th, if not late January. I imagine they want a starting level power forward, and/or a good 3+d wing to come off the bench
Delusional dream deadline trade:
– Wizards get: Martin Jr. + 1st
– Pelicans get: McCain + 1sts
– Sixers get: Murphy III + Kispert
We love TBD
