 Cleveland Cavaliers SG Iman Shumpert

Another option at shooting guard for the 76ers could be Iman Shumpert, who we’ve seen is more than capable of making plays for a contender.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are rumored to be listening to offers for Shumpert (via Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon), especially considering they’re currently over the luxury tax threshold.

With the 3-and-D guard set to make $30 million over the next three years, moving him would have a big financial impact.

As mentioned previously, the 76ers have the cap space to absorb his contract. And especially considering how low Shumpert’s value is right now, it wouldn’t cost much to convince the Cavaliers to part ways with him.

If Shumpert came to Philadelphia, he’d give the team another reliable veteran at shooting guard. While he may not necessarily be an upgrade over Henderson, he’d be a better backup option than Stauskas with his ability to sink threes and play exceptional perimeter defense.

Considering his modest trade value and underrated abilities, Shumpert would be an excellent trade candidate for the 76ers.
