Early Offseason Movers

Post by rh0xxy »

Flurry of trades opens up the 2036 Season for the Philadelphia 76ers. Coming in the Off-season festivities not having any draft pick for the annual Rookie Draft, the Sixers have signed 4 rookies thus far. We'll talk about them furthermore but let's see all the recent trades that have transfired for the Sixers first...

Image
1. Utah/ Portland / Oklahoma / Philadelphia
- Sixers was only a late addition to this 4-way deal where they've sent veteran defensive specialists in Shaqquan Aaron and Aaron Wiggins for sweet shooting wing man Justinian Jessup. Jessup obviously added another perimeter sniping but losses defensive punches that Aaron and Wiggins provides. Practically, this is not a popular choice by the team especially for Shaqquan who has been a revelation last Post season run but the Sixers is hoping that Jessup can provide more volume and consistent shooting that Aaron can't. Shaqquan for sure will be missed but that's how business works.

Image
2. Philadelphia/ Washington
- Sixers grabbed their first rookie pick in this deal for a future 2nd rounder, who eventually turned into Sacha Killeya-Jones. Sacha is a traditional big man who has the potential to be a very good defender and efficient offense inside the paint. His rebounding could be a concern but the team have already addressed this later on in the Kabengele deal (more on this later on)

Image
3. Philadelphia/ Oklahoma City/ Portland
- this deal is actually on hold but expected to be processed soon. In this deal, the Sixers acquired the 59th overall pick in Jackson Makoi and veteran journeyman Dzanan Musa for the Clippers 2037 2nd round pick and talented guard Sylvain Francisco. Makoi is expected to be signed for 3 max years while Musa could be a handy role player who can be plug in into different position from 1 to 4. More on Makoi as we haven't really seen his ratings just yet, but according to our scout, he is a defender who can get his fair share of stocks. While not known for his offense, he could be an aggressive attacker in the paint and is a decent foul drawer it seems. Don't talk about his perimeter offense though because you will just be disappointed. That's probably the main reason he went almost undrafted but all is not lost for him and just need to prove his worth.

4. Philadelphia/ Los Angeles (C)
- Here comes the rebounder the Sixers badly needs. Mfiondu Kabengele addresses that big hole down low when he arrives in favor of the Swiss knife Olivier Sarr. Olivier will be surely missed with his fair offense and defense combo, which has been of big help in their recent Post season run. Although, Kabengele could possibly provide more defensively but with limited offense to boot. But wait, there's more to that deal, as the Sixers also nabbed another rookie in 57th overall pick center Nick Ongenda. Nick is a promising big man who has the knack for foul drawing and shot blocking. He's also an able scorer in the paint and a good passing big man.

Image
5. Philadelphia/ Charlotte
- due to the early movements, the Sixers found themselves looking for roster space to get a chance in resigning their Free Agents. Initially, the team has never intended to trade their most precious young prospect in Jahzare Jackson but went on to agree in a deal with the newest GM in town, Soa. Sixers got the 16th pick overall in Daron Holmes II, a more ready and polished big man especially on defense. He might not have the offensive potentials that Jahzare has but he can get his shots nonetheless. Going out for the Sixers also was Osun Osunniyi, who specializes on stocks and a decent offensive player as proven with his lone D-League performance.

Image
6. Philadelphia/ Memphis
- lastly (for now) is the deal with the Grizzlies. A switch for a redundant position in the team for an insurance PG, Donta Hall for Marcos Louzada Silva. Not much of anticipation, but this trade probably could go on favor of Memphis as Hall is the guy they've envisioned to have, based on their trade block of course. However, Silva could be a steal here with his talent that can come in handy as a possible reliever for All Star Anfernee Simons.

A lot of small deals in Philly. Interested to see how this team rounds out when the season starts. It could be an entirely different roster that just made the finals.

I really like that Holmes move. He looked real good in my scouts and I think he can be a starter in this league. Kabengele should do well in your pressure system too, just need to figure out a way to limit his shots since he's not that efficient.

The depth you have acquired with cost controlled assets should really round out a terrific roster. Justinian Jessup has proven to be a very capable 3 point shooter on volume. It will be interesting to see his role on this team.

Nothing new in Philly ... Rhox working the lines and swapping around half the roster :-)

There is a bunch of young bigs coming in and there will be a tough fight going on for playing time.
Jessup and Kabengele should be the most helpful for now. But I also like the Holmes pick and it looks Killeya-Jones had a pretty good camp and both could be ready for some minutes too.
