Trade 1: Heat Land James Harden
76ers Receive:
Kyle Lowry
Caleb Martin
First-Round Pick
The package is highlighted by Martin. He broke out in this year’s playoffs as a solid 3-and-D wing with a touch of shot creation. Meanwhile, Lowry is on an expiring contract, so the Sixers don’t take on any undue financial hardship here. Throw in a lottery protected first, and this should be enough for the Sixers.

Trade 2: Lakers Land PJ Tucker
76ers Receive:

The Sixers may wish to wait to see how their season is going before making a deal like this one. With that said, if they’re falling short of expectations, they won’t want to let much time pass before making a move.

This deal should bolster the Lakers’ defense – don’t sell Beverley short, either. Finally, the Lakers used second-round picks to improve their roster at last year’s deadline. They should also be happy to add a pair of them here.
