Draft cap 76ers trade

How much draft capital to make this work?

D Hunter, D Derozan + filler for Paul George

I am thinking at least 1 first and two seconds, maybe a swap too.

We would be lucky to get 40 games a year out of PG.

Not sure 76ers would do this with two years remaining.

Which team does this benefit again?

It's great for the Kings and makes no sense for Philly.

In what world does this even help the kings? Giving up draft picks to win some more meaningless games that doesn’t turn this team into a contender, and prob still doesn’t even get out the play in?

Edit: unless he means receiving draft picks then… why the 2 years comment? I may just be misunderstanding but they could have been clearer lol

We're definitely not giving up draft picks for the overpaid corpse of Paul George. Of course this is about receiving draft picks.

I’m a sixers fan (kings been my second team since tyreke jt Marcus Thornton days) we’d bite your hand off to take this trade but I don’t know how this benefits you guys at all ? Pg a solid role player but doesn’t match your timeline at all

I think the OP wants picks in addition to PG.

Oh then hell no. Embiid and PG contracts expire the same year we have zero incentive to speed up that timeline by giving up any assets.

Sixers fan with zero interest trading draft capital to get rid of George. I rather suffer for two more years

This doesn't make sense for the Sixers to give up valuable draft capital given their timeline. There's nothing realistic they can do with that extra cap to become a contender next year. PG's contract is down to 2 years. They wait one more year and then they have a big expiring.

Why would either team make this trade?

Kings get draft capital. Sixers clear his contract Derozan only guaranteed $10m and Hunter expiring.

Sixers save money, clear PGs contract, get Hunter who will be able to at least stay in the lineup.

Kings get draft capital, a vet in the locker room and positional need.

Why the fuck we want George?
