note #1 - due to 76ers being a 1st apron team, they’ll have to include a 3rd player (likely Reggie Jackson) to satisfy CBA rules, specifically to a 3rd team since Minnesota is a 2nd apron team

note #2 - trade can’t happen until after December 15th when Martin and Gordon become trade eligible

Philly - reports say the 76ers don’t play on bottoming out this season and are willing to trade future 1st round picks to upgrade their rotation. KJ Martin is not essential to this team, and Jared McCain’s emergence has made Eric Gordon expendable. if DiVencenzo can find the rhythm he had on the Knicks, this trade is a steal. he would immediately slot in as the teams starting SG, or potentially as the 6th man. a guard rotation of Maxey, DiVencenzo, McCain, and Lowry is very good.

Minnesota - it’s clear DiVencenzo has had a rough start to the season, so its decision time for the Timberwolves. either continue to invest in DiVencenzo, or trade him for additional assets. KJ Martin and Eric Gordon are both not very high end role players, but they could both potentially play some sort of role. Eric Gordon could act as sort of a DiVencenzo lite, while KJ Martin could be a Kyle Anderson replacement. the real part of the deal is getting a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick. those picks can either be used in future trades (in addition to the 2025 Detroit 1st they got in the KAT trade) to upgrade the roster, or to use to continue filling this roster with young talent. trading DiVencenzo could also open up a bigger opportunity for Rob Dillingham, who has looked pretty solid on his limited action. Minnesota could potentially push for Philly to include Oubre rather than Martin, as they make the same 7.9 million salary.
