2023 76ers
Devin Booker

Why it makes sense
He has yet to play in a single playoff game in fact he hasn’t even got close despite a loaded team on paper for years. Sometimes if things are not working you need to make a move just shake things up. The suns can get pack a package of assets they could set themselves up for years to come. If not they don't trade him they risk losing him for nothing down the line.
Why It doesn’t Make sense
I don’t think the 76ers are going to be willing to give up the assets it would take to get him. The suns are going to want Luka Samanic as part of the deal. The 76ers likely will not give him up with Embiid going into the last year of his deal and injured. If they don't give up Samamnic they will have to trade a lot of the future 1st rounders.
Projected Lineup
PG – Fultz
SG – Booker
SF – Simmons
PF – Bol
C – Embiid
Fit
His lack of defense wouldn’t be a problem and his role would be to score without any pressure of being the guy. The fear would be giving up so much for a shooting specialist that cant play defense and isn’t athletic
Assets to Give Up
Samanic + Sexton + future 1st + filler
Josh Jackson

Why he would be traded
He isn’t starting and won’t beat out Michael Porter or Booker anytime soon. He can play the 4, but that takes away from his perimeter defense and they have Chriss (86 ovr). The suns could trade a non-starter and get a new bench. They also have the 5th pick and could bring in a F with that pick as a few or worthy of that pick. They can use all these assets for another trade down if they need to make a big move or trade up. He is also a RFA so will be getting big $ this offseason does it make sense to pay luxury tax to the same players that have been in the top 5 forever?
Why he wouldn’t be traded
He is arguably the best young 3 & D player in the country and if they think they will be much improved this year he is a valuable asset.
Projected Lineup
PG – Simmons
SG – Fultz
SF – Josh Jackson
PF – Bol
C – Embiid
Fit This would be a perfect fit as he fits the 3 & D mold of the current players on the roster. He would be able to take over Covington’s role as the main defender and he is pushing mid 30’s. His athletic skills would be a upgrade and should be able to guard the elite 2 guards.
Assets to Give Up
Sexton + Toole + 17th pick + future 1st + filler
Lebron James

Why he would be traded He is entering the final year of his contract and the Knicks didn’t make the playoffs this year. They are rumors Lebron could demand a trade this offseason. You risk losing him for nothing if you wait or lowering the leverage if he demands a trade. Unless you can shake things up and make a championship squad you set your future up and can easily build around Donic and KP who are mid 20’s. If he comes to Philly he has a chance to win 2 or 3 more rings and get closer to Jordans 6.
Why he wouldn’t be traded The big 3 of Lebron, Doncic and Porzingis just seems way to talented to not ever make the finals. He is 37 still he is at the top of his game and will play for at least 2 more years.
Projected Lineup
PG – Simmons
SG – Fultz
SF – Lebron
PF – Bol
C - Embiid
Fit
He would have to adjust to not being the ball handler and playing off the ball.
Assets to Give Up
Sexton + Toole + TLC + O’neal + 17th pick + future 1st
Damian Lillard

Why he would be traded
One of the hardest things to do in sports is deciding when to break up your championship caliber squad and if you should you make 1 more try at winning it all. Mark Gasol has announced this will be his last year and Lillard 31 and McCollum is 30. The blazers made it to the WCF this past year so you can still compete and grab future assets. Lillards best years are behind him so at best he has 1 maybe 2 years left at the level. You have the chance to get a young guard to replace plus the starting SF you desperately need plus a future draft pick.
Why he wouldn’t be traded
They decide to give one more run at a ring knowing he can always be traded at the deadline.
Projected Lineup
PG – Lillard
SG – Fultz
SF – Simmons
PF – Bol
C – Embiid
Fit
The fit is a bit off basically playing 2 PG’s that shouldn’t be a major issue with the height of the other key guys. His defense wont be a issue with all the defense guys on the team and he would be the dynamite scorer this team needs even if it is off the bench
Assets to Give Up
Sexton + Toole + O’neal + filler
Victor Oladpio

Why he would be traded
The pacers have been stuck middle ground forever and haven’t made the playoffs for a few years. He is a aging star and this creates a youth movement. He also has a player option for next year where he likely opts out to create one more big pay day. You get a few key players and can still compete for a playoff spot.
Why he wouldn’t be traded
Another move would have to be made as the Pacers have to many big’s and would be trading away its best wing.
Projected Lineup
PG – Fultz
SG - Victor
SF – Simmons
PF – Bol
C – Embiid
Fit
A good fit and should come at a cheaper price then the other guys on the list. The biggest question is what can of defense player are you getting as he is over 30.
Assets to Give Up
Sexton + futre 1st + filler
Malik Monk

Why he would be traded
The hornets may have the worst roster in the NBA and even though Monk is the best player on the team it may be time to start over again and build around the 3rd overall pick. You get a slightly worse player and pick up a draft pick. This is the easiest and less sexy of any of the trades.
Why he wouldn’t be traded
The 76ers have bigger targets and dreams for this offseason
Projected Lineup
PG – Fultz
SG - Monk
SF – Simmons
PF – Bol
C – Embiid
Fit
This would be a easy fit he could come off the bench next year and take over as the starting 2 guard next year. He would be more then just a 3 & D guy and is a true 2 guard.
Assets to Give Up
Sexton + filler
