The Sixers are exploring potential trades involving the No. 23 pick in the 2022 draft and Danny Green‘s expiring $10MM contract, Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer reports within his latest mock draft.
Because they owe their unprotected 2023 first-round pick to Brooklyn, the Sixers can’t trade their 2022 first-rounder until after it has been used. However, they could reach a tentative trade agreement on or before draft night and make that pick on another team’s behalf, officially completing the deal after the draft.
Using Green’s expiring contract as a salary-matching piece would also be a little tricky, since it’s currently non-guaranteed, meaning it would count as $0 for outgoing purposes. The Sixers could guarantee some or all of Green’s $10MM salary to make it more useful in a trade. But the more money they guarantee, the less appealing it will be as an asset to a potential trade partner, since Green is expected to miss most or all of next season after tearing his ACL.
Here’s more from O’Connor:
- The Hawks are looking to acquire a lottery pick and are dangling John Collins, league sources tell The Ringer. It sounds like Atlanta also wouldn’t be opposed to including the No. 16 pick in the right deal. The Trail Blazers, who hold the seventh overall pick, are one of the teams the Hawks have talked to, says O’Connor.
- O’Connor is the latest reporter to hear from sources that the Cavaliers would like to re-sign Collin Sexton and bring back point guard Ricky Rubio, and to confirm that the Pistons are among the teams with interest in Sexton.
- Chet Holmgren “has some supporters” within the Magic‘s front office, but O’Connor believes “all indications” point to Orlando selecting Jabari Smith with the No. 1 overall pick.
I’d trade Draymond and #27 for John Collins.
Use 3rd team if needed.
#27 and Hunter go to third team for another deal.
Warriors have #28 (not #27)
Hawks are targeting lottery pick
It would be #28 and #16 for #12
or
#16, #28 and Hunter for one of top 8 picks
Hawks fall in love with defensive player. Draymond is former defensive player of the year
To old bot boy.
Draymond’s value to the Warriors is of course Sky High but other teams not so much. In fact I don’t think Draymond Green would have hardly any trade value out there. There’s a lot of baggage that comes along with him and you only get 7 points a game out of him.
That plus the 28 pick will not get you John Collins. It wouldn’t get you a vodka Collins.
Collins unwanted in ATL ….. they could of had CJ …. Now they can’t give away Collins.
I wish they would have got CJ. THE blazers would be in a lot better position going into this draft.
The Baptist is LOVED in ATL, I don’t understand any of these rumors, other than to say KOC has been pushing this dumb idea for 3 years now. I don’t think the Hawks really want to move JC (especially for ANOTHER draft pick), I think other teams just want him and the media is super disrespectful to anything Atlanta.
That’s just our own AL with “Collins unwanted”, not the media.
Do ATL fans not want to trade any Hawks, yet not want to run it back next year? Something’s gotta give.
As a Hawks fan, Trae and JC are the only untouchables on the team. I am ok with just running it back next year (I think JC will return to his 20 & 10, and Huerter & Hunter will grow a good bit, plus the addition of OO, Jalen, and Coop can give this team the energy boost they were sorely lacking in the beginning of the season).
If we’re going to move players, I’d rather see Bogi, Huerter, Nilo, Capela, and a whole bunch of picks go out before The Baptist is mentioned.
What about a deal that sends:
Nets: Bogi, Nilo, and the #16
OKC: Ben Simmons and a future 1st (or two)
ATL: SGA
Getting SGA is a good goal. Im not sure what Presti wants, and Simmons is someone that polarizes people. He would not get to play PG there so Presti may not want to trade for a player unhappy from the start.
Marks likes stars, and there’s been no mention that Simmons is on the block.
Funny you mention for trading, the FA signees from a couple years ago that one can attribute to Ressler not Schlenk. As enthusiastic as the moves made some, It created a mess, and has not done the players justice either. If they could be traded, it would be like turning the clockback back to the Hawks being Schlenk’s picks!— perhaps as destinied.
I don’t think the reactions of foreigners (Gallinari, Bogdan, Capela) was accounted for; it can vary; resentments from being “collected” had to happen and are more likely.
Trade Danny Green and Mattise Thybulle for Malik Bealsley!
Gets rid of Green for free and we don’t have to work out a contract extension for Thybulle. He’s great defensively but provides next to nothing on offence and come the playoffs like Seth Curry the year before was hard to give minutes too when teams can ignore him at one end of the court.
So instead we get back Malik Beasley who has his own issues (off the court mainly) but would be valuable player especially for the playoffs. We were often criticised for our lack of bench impact and Beasley would address that for us.
He’s a knock down three point shooter and coming off the bench he could give us a go to option.
To replace Thybulle in the starting line up we can take Wendell Moore who I think will be a great pick and like Maxey will make a lot of teams look silly. He’s only 20 but has played 3 years at Duke so he will be used to playing winning basketball, he’s played under a really good head coach and will be NBA ready. He’s use to playing a smaller role and accommodating star players. He’s an efficient shooter, good passer, good defender and just a good role player who doesn’t have a glearing weakness to his game. I think he can come in straight away and give us a nice 11-5-3, shooting 36% from three, do his role well and hold his own.
You can get rid of Green for free anyway. His $ is nonguaranteed, so simply cut him.
No no no, you need greens salary to make a trade
Again…. It’s not news that the Cavs want to keep Sexton and bring back Rubio. It’s common knowledge! They make us a better team!
Collins is on the block. Gorbet is on the block. I see a lot of trades. The Celtics have a big Trade exemption too. Ayton on a three way to Atlanta is a rumor too. Beal may want to win and move too. Should be a great off season. Danny Ainge will not stay Pat in Utah I am sure.
Sexton is more valuable as a trade asset. Why would you want him anywhere near Garland.
@Knick
Why do you continue to act as if there’s a point guard debate? Garland is the starting PG. Sexton is the starting SG. Why wouldn’t Garland want to have another scoring option that can also handle the ball? He can give Garland time to breath on court by distributing (4.4 ast in 2020-21) or allow Garland to work off the ball as a scorer. With three 7fters on three floor it mitigates some of the small guard concerns.
I’ve said this before, gentleman’s agreement where he accepts a buyout from the other team.
ORL will have many years to regret picking Smith over Holmgren!
Seriously I can’t ever understand how any team wouldn’t pick Holmgren #1!?!?!
Smith is a great player to pick up at #4…
Orlando has gone from being loaded up on PGs, to be loaded up on big guys of unclear positions… Four of their top 5 in minutes are 4s&5s (Franz Wagner, Bamba, Okeke, Carter) plus whoever they choose in the draft, plus Jon Isaacs, plus the other Wagner! And Robin Lopez the vet and Cole Anthony gets high rebounds for a guard.
Meanwhile the guards are iffy. CA leads in scoring but is 32% on threes.
If they got Holmgren, they have the talent to fit the other frontliners around him so it all makes sense and the +/- is the best. Holmgren would make the jam-up work, esp. if they plan to let Bamba go anyway.
Bamba shot 38% from 3 but one hopes for that from Holmgren too. They should keep Bamba if they draft Smith. And then everyone is part-time together (boo). Franz is a 3 generally, not his forecast.
