One prediction for every NBA team at the NBA Trade Deadline

Philadelphia 76ers – Buy

The Philadelphia 76ers have been much better this season than last and are on pace to earn the top record in the Eastern Conference. Part of that is the play of Joel Embiid, currently a top contender for MVP. Tobias Harris has done his part, playing at an All-Star level and making his contract look much better than it did a year ago.

Likely as important, there is finally shooting on this roster. Funny enough, having players shoot from beyond the arc will open up for the paint for Embiid and Ben Simmons to thrive. Seth Curry and Danny Green have been varying degrees of impressive but as the common trope goes you cannot have enough shooting.

As mentioned before Wayne Ellington is a budget option akin to the Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks moves the Sixers made last year that yielded positive results. A second round pick of any sort will likely get the Pistons to bite. The JJ Reddick reunion makes some sense too but making the money work is quite challenging. Swapping Danny Green out is a clean fit from a financial perspective but does not make the team better. Unless the trade was to be expanded to bring in Lonzo Ball as well maybe then it would be interesting. Some shooter will shake loose for the Sixers though.
