Trade 1: 76ers Land OG Anunoby

76ers Receive:
  • OG Anunoby

Anunoby is the perimeter defender Philadelphia lacks and one which would be invaluable when the postseason rolls around. The 6'7" wing led the NBA in steals (1.9) last year and has six through Toronto's first three games of 2023-24. On offense, Anunoby would be comfortable playing off the ball and letting Embiid and Maxey run the show. His familiarity with head coach Nick Nurse from their time together with the Raptors would be an added bonus.


Trade 2: 76ers Land Alec Burks

Pistons Receive:
  • Nicolas Batum

  • Jaden Springer

  • Three Second-Round Picks

Detroit, which should be solely focused on improving its long-term outlook around 22-year-old centerpiece Cade Cunningham, should absolutely be open to a deal like this. No, it doesn't deliver a first-round pick, but it would net the team three second-round picks, including two way down the road from teams following the lead of 30-something stars.

76ers Receive:
  • Alec Burks

If Philly thinks it's fine without another star (for now, at least), then adding a cost-effective role player would help. Getting someone like Burks, a 32-year-old on an expiring contract, wouldn't break the bank but would beef up the club's ball-handling, shooting and perimeter defense.
