5 Realistic Trade Targets For The Philadelphia 76ers In 2016-17

 Sacramento Kings SG Ben McLemore

Much like the point guard spot, the 76ers have some capable playmakers at shooting guard. However, making an upgrade on Gerald Henderson and Nik Stauskas wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world.

While Ben McLemore isn’t the greatest option, he’d bring a lot more excitement and upside to the position. That is, if the Sacramento Kings are even willing to deal him.

GM Vlade Divac has said that the Kings aren’t interested in shopping the young 2 guard (via Hoops Hype), but that doesn’t mean a deal couldn’t come to fruition. Especially if Sacramento struggles early in 2016-17 or other capable scorers emerge, it may become more feasible.

The 76ers have enough value to offer in return for McLeMore, and can easily absorb his contract.

With McLemore in the mix, Philadelphia would have another excellent young scoring option. He’s shown progress in each of his three NBA seasons, and is more than capable of getting hot when given the opportunity.

Teaming him with the 76ers’ other young stars would be a solid direction to go in.
