I'm up gosh darn it. I guess you're not supposed to swear apparently? I am awake. I hate that I am. At 27 I was so excited about NBA trades i was stoked they were happening late at night. Now i'm cheesed off about my sleep schedule. I made another post complaining all about that but I want the young people to truly understand the horrors of aging.
Now I am thinking about basketball. Anyway, the 76ers are in the market for another star with the assets from this trade. Now, I know what you're thinking "They got marcus morris, no more star power needed" and you'd be right. Anyway, the one I saw in the comments on here was Zach Lavine. and I do see it, I think he succeeds with not that much offensive pressure on him with Maxey and Embiid. I like Lavine but I don't think that's a good enough team defensively.
I think the real smart move is to add someone without having to completely empty your war chest. Enter Jerami Grant, who I am maybe higher on than most but he's a good player who, and I think this is important, Showed how good of a defender he could be in the playoffs with Denver all those years ago and I still believe in him. Maybe he plays well for a while and inflates his market value but I doubt it. OG Anunoby fits neatly right here. I think though that the Raptors would rather deal him to the other conference.
Now. What about KAT? I think this is a doubt, I don't think that the sixers have enough to get the T wolves to give in so quickly on their all in window they stupidly committed to. I like the idea of playing him with Embiid but I doubt it'd work.
Now, I've been impressed with the Pels so far, but maybe Brandon Ingram becomes available if things aren't working towards the deadline. I have planted my flag in the sixers need a longboi camp.
Anyway thats all I got. I hope this leads to good discussion with the other weirdos who are checking their phone in bed now and can't sleep.
Pels aren't trading BI
