Recent reports indicate Sixers have been in talks with Houston, Sac, and Minny. Here’s a trade that brings Philly and Minny closer to contention, allows the Rockets to get more young pieces, and the Kings to retool and get draft compensation.
Sixers: Beverly, Barnes, Fox
Rockets: Beasley, McDaniels, Springer
Wolves: Gordon, Simmons
Kings: Harris, T. Prince, 2023 Hou 1st (via BK), 2024 Wolves 1st, 2022 Wolves 1st
Why for the Sixers? Get value for Ben, and offload Tobias in the same trade.
Add Pat Bev with 1 year left, Barnes and Fox who are seamless fits (even with Maxey) on the roster.
Philly can roll out something like Fox Curry Green Barnes Embiid
With a bench of Maxey Beverley Furk Matisse Niang Drummond
Why for the Rockets? Give up EG and a pick (BK next year so will probably be nothing) for 3 young pieces in Springer, McDaniels, Beasley
Why for the Wolves? Pick up Ben and EG to seriously contend for now and the future, while only giving up Beasley, McDaniels, and 2 firsts.
Wolves can run EG off the bench as a spark plug, and have their big 4 in Ben, KAT, Ant, Dlo.
Why for the Kings? Fox is not content, and should look to build around Hali & Mitchell. 3 first round picks for Barnes & Fox ain’t bad, especially given the value of those picks. Tobias is the perfect tank commander, and fits great next to Mitchell and Hali. Pick up Prince to make the contracts work.
Hali Mitchell Hield Harris Holmes really could be sneaky decent.
