Potential Trade Targets

If the Sixers trade for Olynyk, I'm guessing they'd send us Batum and draft assets.
IT WON"T BE BATUM!


Guys you have to pay attention to other teams. When healthy Nic plays starter minutes for them. They love him. He's likely retiring after the season. It will be RoCo or Morris.
 
Brown is fine... if you figure he is worth 5 second rounders (KO and Ochai could fetch that on the open market) and 23M in cap space next year I think that's rich.
 
I assumed it was probably RoCo and Korkmaz to get them out of the tax
Roco/Kormax or Morris if its Philly. Both deals get them out of the tax saving them $20M plus. Nic is literally starting for Philly... its not hard.

Batum's role would be redundant with Olynyk, and Olynyk would be an upgrade at this point. I think they want to tread water and have Embiid come back this season.

KO would be starting in Embiid's spot for now. Batum is their starting SF. KO is not a SF. Batum is a good defender and fits exactly what Philly wants. In no way at all are KO and Batum redundant and doing the trade that way would add salary.


So if we ignore all that then sure... it could be Batum.
 
If its Brown for KO and Ochai... I will hold my nose I guess. If we add on top its cuz DA is trade horny and I will have a mini meltdown at the lack of foresight we had this summer.
 
This potential Brown deal would be a head scratcher... Other moves that made me scratch my head...

Trading for THT... I was right.
Trading for Collins... I was right.

Shrug.
 
Theres like a 25-30% chance Brown's option doesn't get picked up and you could sign him in the offseason for less per year and over a longer period of time.
