Agreed. Hunter or Reddish have to be the pieces they are looking to move to upgrade at center. Not a fan of Reddish but Hunter is a gamer. Perfect 3 and D guy. Three-team deal with ATL and SAC Capela for Hunter and Holmes Hunter and BKN 1st for Capela Holmes** for BKN 1st **Bjelica is another option on Sac that may take less to pry away (maybe House is enticing enough) Use the TPE for Markieff or Noel if you want more big man depth Lineup: Holmes/Harty Tucker/Markieff Hunter/BMac/House Harden/Gordon Westbrook/Rivers You can run a traditional offense with Holmes and a 5 out offense with Kieff. Enough long wings to run a switch heavy defense. Harden and Westbrook will have the spacing needed to wreak havoc on the league. You’d still have House, Nene, Green, and Tyson’s salaries to aggregate in a trade to get another piece (or attach a pick to in order to go under the luxury tax)
I just find it hard to believe they'd deal Hunter this early in his career especially after drafting him so high. And a big hell no to Collins.
DeAndre Hunter and Jabari Parker is intriguing. Package Jabari and House and some picks for something else?
3 teamer ATL gets: Capela, Ross HOU gets: A.Gordon, Turner, Hunter ORL gets: Westbrook (Actually this makes us significantly worse but hey the salaries work!)
OK 4 TEAMER ATL gets: Capela, Ross HOU gets: Embiid, A.Gordon, Turner, Hunter, Zhaire ORL gets: Westbrook 76ers get: Harden You're welcome Rivers, Clemons EGo, McLemore Hunter, House AGo, Tucker Embiid, Hartenstein Probably have to trade Tucker too as he won't want to be here at that point. Maybe snag a PG for him. Got it Tucker + Sefolosha for Dinwiddie Then re-sign Gary Clark Boom Dinwiddie, Rivers, Clemons EGo, McLemore, Rivers Hunter, House AGo, Clark Embiid, Hartenstein Oh and use Turner for a trade, if he has any value.
Can it get any worse? Seems to me that playing traditional Centers and Bigs hurts us just as much as it helps us.
Capela for Hunter and Len. Salaries work and it gets us under the tax. That will give us room to sign a couple of guys from the buyout market.
