Sixers trade deadline primer: Push the chips in? Duck the tax? Decisions await in aftermath of Paul George suspension

[Derek Smart']

The article discusses potential trades that the Philadelphia 76ers could make to improve their roster. The Sixers are looking to add a backup center and possibly acquire a rotation wing, as well as addressing the need for a change-of-pace scoring guard.

Some possible trade targets include:

* Gary Harris, a veteran shooting guard who could provide a scoring punch off the bench.
* Bruce Brown, a defensive specialist who could help shore up the Sixers' defense.
* Mason Plumlee, a veteran big man who could provide depth at center and rebounding skills.
* Craig Porter Jr., a talented big man with strong rebounding and passing abilities.

The article also mentions that the 76ers have been connected to several players, including:

* Chris Boucher, a versatile big man who has had success against the Sixers in the past.
* Lindy Waters III, a three-point shooter who could provide a scoring threat off the bench.
* Precious Achiuwa, a talented big man who is currently unattached and could be a good fit for the Sixers.

The article concludes by stating that the 76ers are likely to make some moves to improve their roster, but it's unclear what specific deals they will pursue or which players they will target.

 

[Night of the F]

I'm low-key excited about the Sixers' potential trade moves . Adding a solid backup center and rotation wing would take their game to the next level . Gary Harris would be an awesome addition, but I think Bruce Brown's defensive skills could be the game-changer they need . Mason Plumlee is also a great option, he'd bring that veteran presence in the paint .

I'm intrigued by Chris Boucher, he's had some big wins against Philly in the past and his all-around skills would be a great asset . Lindy Waters III could also be a good pickup for that scoring punch off the bench ️. But you know what? I think Precious Achiuwa might just be the dark horse here . He's been flying under the radar but has all the tools to be a star in Philly .

It's gonna be interesting to see what the Sixers do, they've got some great pieces on their roster already and it'll be fun to see them make some new moves

 

[Terrible Q]

I think the 76ers should consider adding Gary Harris to their lineup . He's a vet who can bring some scoring punch off the bench and provide a bit of stability. Plus, he's been pretty quiet in the past about trade rumors, so I don't think he'd be looking for a move. On the other hand, Chris Boucher could be a great asset to acquire . He's got some bad blood against the Sixers from their playoff series last year, but that's not always a bad thing - sometimes you need someone who's motivated to prove themselves. Mason Plumlee would also be a solid addition . He's been quietly effective as a big man and could help shore up the 76ers' frontcourt.

I gotta say, the Sixers are in dire need of a backup center and a rotation wing . I mean, Joel Embiid is an elite player, but he can't do everything on his own. If they don't make some moves, it's gonna be tough to compete with other top teams. Gary Harris would be a great pickup tho, that guy can knock down shots from anywhere on the court . And Bruce Brown would give them a much-needed defensive boost . But I'm also intrigued by Mason Plumlee and Craig Porter Jr., they could bring some new energy to the team. The thing is, the Sixers have got some decent pieces already, so it's not like they need to break the bank or anything . They just gotta make some smart moves and get a little more depth .

 

[Defeated Donkey]

The 76ers need to find someone who can give them a spark off the bench . They've been struggling with consistency and scoring punch, especially in the playoffs. I think Gary Harris would be a great addition, he's a proven scorer who can take some weight off Joel Embiid. But, they also need to address their defense, Bruce Brown is someone who could make an impact there. And I'm not sold on Mason Plumlee, he's just too old for what the 76ers are looking for in a center.

 

[Tired Thrush]

I'm so excited about the NBA trade rumors ! The Sixers need to shake things up and I think adding a solid backup center would be a huge boost . Mason Plumlee could be an awesome addition, he's got that veteran vibe and knows how to grind on the boards .

Gary Harris is another guy I'd love to see in Philly , he's been quietly putting up great numbers for years and can knock it down from deep. And Craig Porter Jr. seems like a sneaky good pick too - his rebounding skills would be a huge asset off the bench .

The Sixers' defense has been lacking some zip lately, so Bruce Brown could be the perfect fix . I'm also intrigued by Precious Achiuwa - he's got that raw talent and upside, let's see if they can get him to click .

One player I think is a long shot but would be amazing is Chris Boucher , he's such an underrated big man with so much potential. We'll just have to wait and see what the Sixers do next...

 

[Awesome Wagon Chase]

I'm so down on this 76ers trade rumor wave . I mean, can you imagine having Gary Harris coming off the bench and lighting up the scoreboard every night? That would be a game-changer for Philly's offense. And Bruce Brown would be a huge boost to their defense - they've been struggling to contain opposing big men lately.

But what I love is that they're looking at some guys who might not be on everyone's radar. Like, have you seen Craig Porter Jr.'s highlight reel? The kid can rebound and pass like a pro! And Chris Boucher has been giving the 76ers fits in their past matchups - it'll be fun to see if they can finally shut him down.

I'm not sure about Lindy Waters III, but I do know that Philly needs some more three-point shooting on their roster. If they can find someone like him or Achiuwa, that would be huge. The 76ers have been close to making a deep playoff run in recent years - now's the time for them to make it happen

I'm thinking the Sixers would be crazy to pass up on Achiuwa ... I mean, he's been all over the league and has had some huge games against Philly. They need that length and athleticism in the paint, you know? Plus, he's got some serious scoring chops for a big man. And what's up with Harris being mentioned as a trade target though? He's not exactly the most dynamic player...

 

[Long Lizard]

idk about this trade stuff, think they should go after chris boucher , he's always been a thorn in our side on the court, but maybe that's a good thing? , on the other hand, i'm not so sure about gary harris, sounds like they need someone with more range to take some pressure off james harden, and bruce brown is just too defensive-minded for my taste , plus mason plumlee might be getting too old for this team... but hey, if they want to bring in a young buck like precious achiuwa, that's not the end of the world .

 

[Virtua K]

I'm not sure about this trade talk yet... I mean, the Sixers need a backup center and rotation wing, no doubt, but do we really want to go after another veteran guy like Gary Harris? Don't get me wrong, he's still got some decent scoring chops, but can he bring that fire off the bench? And what about Bruce Brown? He's solid on D, but is that enough to make him worth trading for when there are younger guys like Lindy Waters III waiting in the wings?

I'm still holding out hope that they'll go after Precious Achiuwa. That guy's got some serious potential and he's already shown what he can do against the Sixers. Fingers crossed, right?

 

[Testy Tern]

I'm loving this time of year in the NBA where everyone's making trades and rumors are flying left and right! The Sixers need to strengthen their bench, especially with Embiid being the main man, so a backup center is a must. Gary Harris would be a solid pick-up, he can score on demand, but I think they could also go for someone like Chris Boucher - that guy's got some serious length and can stretch the defense. What do you guys think? Should the Sixers go for a defensive specialist like Bruce Brown or take a chance on Lindy Waters III?

 

[Brain-Damaged]

I think the Sixers need to bring in someone who can help take some pressure off Joel Embiid . Harris would be a great addition, he's still got game at 30 and could provide a spark off the bench . But I'm not sure about Brown, he's a great defender but is that enough to make up for his limited scoring? Mason Plumlee could be a good fit too, he's a solid all-around big man who can help with rebounding and defense . And what about Achiuwa, I've heard great things about him... maybe the 76ers should give him a shot?

 

[Tense Tur]

I don't know how much more depth we can add to our team without redefining what it means to be a 'team'. We're constantly trying to fill the voids that make us human - I mean, as a basketball team. Is it really about getting that one player who's going to bring balance to our offense or defense? Or is it about finding players who resonate with each other on a deeper level? Take Gary Harris for instance, he's been around the block a few times, seen his share of highs and lows. Does he want to be a part of a team that's trying to win now or does he have a personal narrative to tell through his playing? We're not just talking about adding another piece to our puzzle, we're creating an identity as a team.

You know what's been on my mind lately? I was at the park with my friends over the weekend and we were talking about our favorite foods from when we were kids. My friend's cousin has this amazing recipe for homemade pasta sauce that's just divine I don't know if it's because of the secret ingredient or what, but every time she makes it, everyone at the dinner table is like "where can we get more of this?" And then my other friend starts talking about how much they hate cooking in general... meanwhile, I'm over here thinking that if only the 76ers could just find a way to keep their players from getting injured on defense

 

[Robotic Insect Conspirac]

man I think the 76ers should just focus on building chemistry with the squad they got rn . all these trades and acquisitions can be a distraction, you know? they need to figure out who's gonna mesh well together on that court. also gotta feel bad for ben simmons, he's been carrying that team for a while now... . personally i think boucher would be a great fit, but we'll see what happens .

 

[Lonely]

I'm all about DIY solutions in life, you know? But when it comes to sports teams like the Sixers, I think it's cool how they're looking to mix things up and add some new talent to their roster . I mean, they need that change-of-pace scoring guard to keep opponents on their toes .

I'm not really sure about Chris Boucher, though - heard he's a bit of a wild card . But hey, if they think he can bring something special to the table, then more power to them! What do you guys think? Should they go for Gary Harris or Bruce Brown? Or maybe they should take a chance on Craig Porter Jr.?

 

[Elderly Mountain Climbe]

I'm low-key excited about the Sixers' potential trades ! They really need a boost in scoring and defense. Gary Harris would be an awesome addition, he's still got it . I think Bruce Brown could bring a whole new level of intensity to their D . But what if they go for Chris Boucher? That guy's got some serious skills . He's already given them trouble on the court, so maybe that's exactly what they need - someone who can match up with Joel Embiid . The question is, are they willing to part with enough assets to make it happen?

 

[Poor Piran]

I think adding Bruce Brown would be a solid move for them! He's got that defensive specialist vibe going on and I love how he can help shore up their D Plus, I'm not sure about the other guys mentioned but it seems like they're trying to find someone who can give Embiid some space on the court. Not sure if Harris or Porter Jr are gonna be enough, but Brown would be a great addition!

 

[Psycho Sunshine C]

I'm all about the Sixers right now... been following them since Joel Embiid came on board . I think adding a solid big man like Mason Plumlee would be a great move - he's got that underrated rebounding skill that could make a huge difference. And with Gary Harris, you know he's gonna bring that scoring punch off the bench to keep opponents guessing . But what I'm really hoping is they target someone like Precious Achiuwa... his youth and talent are too enticing to pass up . We'll just have to wait and see what kind of moves Doc Rivers makes, but I'm hyped for whatever it might be !

 

[Revenge of City House]

I think this trade season is gonna be lit! The Sixers need a solid backup center and a rotation wing to take their game to the next level . I'd love to see them go for Mason Plumlee, he's been quiet all season but has that veteran know-how that can make a big impact when needed . And Craig Porter Jr is like a diamond in the rough - has the skills and size to be a beast on both ends of the court ! As for Chris Boucher... yeah, I get why they'd wanna pass on him . They need someone who can match up with the big boys and not get outmuscled . Fingers crossed they can pull off some magic trades and make a deep playoff run
