After failing to advance past the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the third consecutive year, the Philadelphia 76ers may have to make some changes. If they decide that’s what the best course of action is this summer, Matt Guzman of Sports Illustrated proposed a sign-and-trade that would send them controversial NBA star Kyrie Irving.
Guzman proposed the following between the Sixers and the Dallas Mavericks.
76ers receive: Kyrie Irving
Mavericks receive: Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris, 2029 First-Round Pick
Guzman explained why the Sixers would be enticed to do a deal like that.
“Irving is a superstar-level starter for any team in the league. Sure, other teams may have their starting point guard, but the former NBA champion would still find his place in the rotation, providing both veteran locker-room leadership and instant offense.”
