Trade Deadline

Looking ahead, it’s going to be impossible for the Sixers to keep the top 6 protected pick next summer, and a berth in the play-in looks certain, particularly with the injuries and trades involving the Bulls, Hawks and Heat who are currently above us.

This brings me to the trade deadline, I think it would be extremely careless to use a first round pick this year with Embiid’s health (and potentially using any more firsts during the rest of this era), but there are a few rotation spots on this team that desperately need an upgrade if we have real plans of making the playoffs, and making any noise.

For me, other than potentially getting below the apron, a backup point guard should be our main focus going into the deadline, Lowry unfortunately is a corpse on the floor and Reggie hasn’t been horrific but just isn’t good enough. With a couple of seconds and some salary filler, who are players you’d like to see the Sixers target?
