The Mavericks remained busy in the trade in front Tuesday, acquiring 76ers forward Caleb Martin In exchange for Quentin Grimes and the second round of the second round of the 76ers by Shams Charania de Espn.com. It was the team’s first acquisition from Landing Anthony Davis in a blockbuster agreement for All-Star Luka Doncic and, with Dallas, also acquired Max Christie in this agreement, Grimes became the protection of the guard . Instead, the team chose to provide veteran help to advance the Win-Ara push for this season.
While Celts Fans will probably be happy to be goodbye to Martin at the Eastern Conference, this agreement puts the microscope on the 76ers as an intriguing team to see the deadline. At 19-29, it is still a game of the East Play-in Tournament despite a disastrous season of injuries so far. Trying to add some updates to save the season may have been a consideration in recent weeks, but moving Martin now for a younger player could indicate that the Sixers becomes more as a seller than a buyer for this week.
Marketing Martin for a younger player with some team control (Grimes will be a free agent restricted) This summer is a movement adapted for the future. What this means for other cheap pieces from the Philadelphia bench to the trade period is something worth seeing from the perspective of the Celtics.
Guerschon Yabusele is the first name seen here. Michael Scotto de Hoopsychype reported that the Celtics They are one of several teams that have asked about the great man in recent weeks. Yabusele does the minimum of veteran, which makes him very easy to deal with Boston with a compensation draft and without adding more tax penalties to his payroll. Yabusele addressed commercial rumors with journalists on Sunday night after the Celtics victory.
“I’m not trying to think too much about it,” Yabusele said. “I am just trying to go out here and do my job and do -the best I can, try to help the team … right now I’m a Sixers player and I hope to keep me a Sixers player.”
Sixers would normally have no interest in treating a 29 -year -old in a breakdown season, which seems to be well adapted next to Joel Embiid. However, it seems that the Sixers (from now on) do not have the necessary capture room to be able to retain Yabusele this season, because they do not have their bird rights this summer. The only way it changes is whether they erase enough salary this season low to give them access to the full half-level exception, so this is the area to be seen here in the next few hours.
The 76ers have a lot of money linked to Embid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxay Fot the future, but they have other cheaper pieces they could sell (Andre Drummond, Kelly Oubre, Eric Gordon) for assets now to get a little more expenses This season drops in theory. If they do, there is a chance that they try to return to Yabusele. Marketing a hybrid striker in Martin would be a sign that will be inclined to Yabusele more in an initial role in Power Forward.
However, if the Sixers do not make this route and move more future salary now, retain Yabusele for long -term Philadelphia would not be feasible. This would encourage them to entertain offers for the elderly team of teams who consider him a useful rent like the Celtics.
The 76ers will certainly be able to command several second round options for the French by various sources, if it ended up being treated. Some teams like the Celtics would be willing to include a selection of the first round to land a valuable insurance policy in Power Forward? Yabusele has played well enough to make a consideration.
It is also worth noting here that Gordon is probably more likely to move here for the 76ers, with Grimes that looks like a guy who will play his role in the future. Celtics are one of the various teams that could look -if they seek help on the wing.
Ultimately, what Daryl Morey’s true intentions are clear in the coming hours and days. Reading the leaves of tea about these will help to point out what is below for Yabusele in the commercial market.
