Philadelphia 76ers

PHI gets: Spencer Hawes

CHA gets: Jahlil Okafor

Is the trade off in talent (pardon the pun) equal? Certainly not at first glance. If Philly becomes the owner of Sam Hinkie’s treasure trove of picks, MJ might have a new meme made – Smiling Jordan.

Frank the Tank is the answer at the 4 for the Hornets, regardless of whether or not they re-sign Marvin Williams. Pair him with Okafor, and watch Okafor go to work down low and risk leaving Kaminsky open for 3 or a midrange jump shot. This ensures MJ has a dominant, young front court for years to come.

Philadelphia gets a floor spacing veteran who can contribute, especially since he’s already played for the 76ers in the past.
