Sixers EYEING Backcourt Trade Targets & “No More Raptors” For Nick Nurse…

It is trade season today we have a bunch of new insight into potential trade targets and areas of upgrade for the Sixers we’ll break all of it down and more here on Philly take with RB Perfect what is up everybody RB here welcome into the show you know the drill by now hit the like button if you enjoy this content subscribe and ring the Bell so you don’t miss any of the coverage we’ll be dropping videos just like this leading up to the trade deadline will go

Live and matter of fact on February 8th we will do a trade deadline live stream special and break it down as it happens but today we’re back and we got a plethora of bombs yesterday from different articles and news pieces talking about potential upgrades guys that may be available so we will

Decipher all of it here on the show but my question to sixer nation and let me know your thoughts down below is what dire should this team go in what do they need right now which player should be on their radar as we speak we’ll break all

Of it down and I want to get into my thoughts we’ll start off with Nick nurse and what a lot of people think specifically six reporters who talked to him earlier this summer think about the direction of say a Raptor’s trade Target shout out to Jacob Moreno here on

Twitter he posted this uh little quote little tweet from Kyle newbeck of phly where newbeck says quote when Nick nurse took this job I think throughout the summer it became clear there were going to be trades made to rearrange his team I’m fairly confident that Nick nurse

Said quote I don’t particularly want to have my old Raptors guys here now he was probably just talking about more of the system he was probably just talking about the ideology the philosophy of this team going forward and you know kind of constructing something new completely different from what he had in

Toronto I don’t think he would be opposed to having one of those guys but it does become apparent to me that I I don’t think they really fit here I don’t think they’re the right guys maybe ogan and Obi was but he’s now a New York Nick

And now people are starting to speculate what will the Raptors do they’ve won a couple games looking pretty clean with RJ bar and Emanuel quickley does that mean they’re ready to move on from cakam does that mean maybe now they’re trying to actually go and push in and be a

Contender what will the Raptors do everything points to them being Sellers and trying to build that new core around some of their new pieces and that means seak would be Expendable and he’s on you know obviously a year where he’s looking for a new contract I just don’t think

He’s a right fit if I’m being completely honest like maybe maybe I’m crazy but what does Pascal cakam offer so much more than Tobias Harris where you’re going to end up having to trade assets to get Pascal cakam and then you’re going to have to pay him a huge

Extension he’s probably going to get you know the 30s the $40 million in the offseason I just don’t think it really makes sense to bring cakam in here I thought ogan and Obi would have been a good fit but now that sieri dealt a guy like that early in the season people are

Willing to think that he’s going to do it again and I think the Raptors will definitely be active at the trade market uh but I just don’t think the Sixers are really a fit so we’ll see if any of these guys want to come back and work with Nick nurse nobody really like

Thanked him or congratulated him other than Fred Van vet when he was hired for the Sixers job so people think there’s some bad blood there we’ll have to wait and see next on the list is Zack LaVine though and this is interesting ladies and gentlemen I need your thoughts on

This because shout out to my guy sixer daily posted the quote from W last night on the NBA Countdown show this is what w said plain and simple there’s no market for Zack LaVine quote they may in the end just have to be glad they can find a

Team that will take on his contract have we reached that point of low for Zack LaVine he’s got what three four more years on his deal 40 plus million every single year probably upwards of 50 at the end could the Sixers snag LaVine for minimal value well let me tell you

Something I mean that that makes it very interesting does that change your perspective if the Sixers are sitting there and rather than you know having to give up the three first round picks we were talking about before and you know take on that huge contract what if the

Bulls are essentially just trying to dump him at one point I predicted before the season that the Bulls would implode they’ve already done so they’re going to be sellers right d rozen’s on a contract year Caruso could warrant them some good value Zack LaVine they need to go and

Sell everybody and I think that’s what they’re going to do but if Zack LaVine could be brought to Philadelphia for minimal value are you then more inclined to be like okay let’s bring him in see what he can do see if he can fit again if it doesn’t work then you’re kind of

Pinned to a long contract I don’t know if it’s the right move right now I guess let me take a step back and say overall my thoughts right now are that you have some flexibility going into this next summer right and that’s what Daryl Mor has preached sure you’re in win now mode

You want to win but based on how this team is playing based on the chemistry they have already built I don’t know if you need to go out and make the huge splash I don’t know if you need to get the $40 million guy in here I know

People are kind of worried about Tobias kind of floating back into that standard again where you know he regresses and he has bad stretches sure I agree maybe you have to get more upgrades in the starting five over at Tobias Harris whatever but do you want to bring in

More risk more long-term liability with a guy like Zack LaVine a lot of people are talking about him like this now because he’s injured again he’s had a lot of injuries in his career what do we think about that or is enough to get this team over the top I think that’s a

Huge question I think they should be in wait Andy mode for this next month up until the deadline but I’ll tell you something if they continue to win games like they are now I don’t think they’re going to make a huge Splash move guess we’ll have to wait and see really they

Need to improve in the margins they need to acquire more depth and maybe a couple more guys that can be playoff players and speaking of backcourt depth we have a piece from an article written by Brett seagull he’s put out a couple bombs this past week shout out to Philly Sixers

Galaxy putting it here on Twitter the Sixers are among numerous teams interested in adding backcourt depth that is one of the main needs of this team in my opinion they’re going to need more backcourt depth maybe another shooter another ball handler and he says that the Sixers heat rockets and

Pelicans are four teams that have interest in adding backourt depth ahead of the deadline and matter of fact he actually put out a piece just over a week ago not even a week I don’t think and this is what he said quote the Sixers would be another intriguing land

In spot for Jordan Clarkson especially with the Anthony Melton in the final year of his contract we know Clarkson’s got a couple more years left on his deal you know how I feel about Clarkson I put out a video about what like four or five days ago talking about the Utah Jazz

Potential trade scenario I think that would be my dream package right now Jordan Clarkson lri marinin do you understand how great this team would be with those two I really think they would be perfect fits with with both in their respective roles but we’ll have to wait

And see what Danny a wants to do what Utah decides to do and how they play it but I’ll tell you what man Brett we’re starting a ride with you my guy we’re starting to make you the main Sixers CH cuz you’re talking pretty nice to us

Sixer Nation so we’ll see uh if the Sixers are potentially interested in acquiring another guard and Brett seagull also said this about another potential Target let me know what you think Ty’s Jones quote Philly may not want to bring in another featured guard that takes the ball out of Maxi’s hand

Then again tus Jones opens up the floor for a team like the Sixers allowing Maxi to play a little bit more off the ball which is what his natural position was what he did in college obviously he’s become a great point guard but you can use him in a variety of different ways

And I started to look up Ty Jones because that’s one guy we haven’t really addressed yet let me show you what I found here man first off you know me the contract situation Ty Jones on a two-year contract last year of the deal he’s making 14 million that’s really not

Not bad at all uh for his production value and then I was wondering what kind of numbers is he putting up because let’s be honest nobody’s paying attention to the Washington Wizards and Kyle kman is starting to become a big trade Target does that put the Sixers

Over the top I think what they need is not only a complimentary piece that fits well around embiid and Maxi but they need a lock down Defender and I don’t know if I’m willing to go and trade for KY kma who again is going to be you know

Uh paid $40 million over the next couple years I I just don’t I don’t know if that makes that much of a difference to get kozma I think he’s a great player but will it put this team over the top that is the main question in terms of

Tus Jones I looked at his numbers here and he’s shooting 42.6% from three he’s averaging 12 and a half points per game and he’s defending really well 1.2 steals per game obviously he’s a good on ball Defender and that could really help the Sixers as well but he’s also a good

Facilitator 5.4 assists per game just really a nice overall clean player a guy with high IQ and he’s having his best year now is that inflated a bit because he’s on the Washington Wizards probably at the end of the day though he is producing at a high clip given the

Benefit of his contract right he’s really giving you bang for your buck and I think Ty Jones is going to end up becoming one of these main trade targets I remember when he was traded to Washington I said why did they get rid of him why did they get rid of him he’s

A really good player so Ty Jones is definitely interesting and I do think the Sixers would benefit from having a guy like Ty Jones be able to take the Rock sometimes maybe come in stagger some minutes even with a Tobias Harris lineup and kind of control the floor so

That one would be really really interesting for me the last thing I will say is that again it’s based on need it’s based on what your needs are we go back to Chicago would Alex Caruso fit that role well absolutely but again what do you have to give up darl Mor said to

Us and he set it straight up I am not going to rush into a trade if a trade is not there maybe the right trade is not there then they’re not going to make one they still want to keep that future flexibility cuz let’s say the Sixers go

And they flub out again and they’re a second round exit you want to be able to have that flexibility going into the playoffs and in next season right where if things don’t work out okay we can still go out try to get another big star

Try to make it work right now it’s kind of just figuring out your identity and some of these pieces you’ve brought in the morrises the Ros Etc are actually playing pretty damn well right now so we’re going to wait and see just throwing a flyer out there as well I put

This on Twitter earlier cuz I really do think the Sixers need more lockdown defense I don’t know if Melton will be that reliable in the playoffs and of course sixer Nation got all pissy with me but should the Sixers trade for mati stable he’s averaging the highest shooting percentage of his career 38.6%

From Deep he knows the teammates here in Philly and obviously he’s a great lock down Defender he’s leading the league in steals could the Sixers potentially take a flyer on matis I get it there’s bad blood and you know he didn’t really perform to the level he was expected to here in

Philly but could they take a flyer on him I think there’s going to be so many targets that become available over the next you know several weeks we look at some of these teams I mean teams are falling right now right Portland Memphis what about a Marcus Smart Utah which way

Will they go golden state will probably be buyers try to surround curry with some talent but you know the Pistons the Wizards nobody cares about these teams they’re going to try to sell off some of their vet pieces the question is what will it take to get them and are the

Sixers willing to go all in to try to win this Championship we’ll wait and see how it all plays out but give me your thoughts and ideas Down Below in the comments section as always appreciate everybody for tuning in be sure to like comment and subscribe that being said I

Will catch you all on the next one Peace
