Trades Daryl Morey could make to make a splash with the Philadelphia 76ers

Shortly after parting ways with the Houston Rockets, the Philadelphia 76ers wasted little time in poaching Daryl Morey to be their new head of basketball operations. A deal between Morey and the Sixers is expected to be completed over the weekend, per ESPN.

For a team that is on the verge of true title contention in the Eastern Conference, despite how close they’ve been from breaking through over the past few seasons, adding an executive as bold and seasoned as Daryl Morey could prove to be huge.

As the move becomes official, you can’t help but wonder what could be next. There are certainly some questions that need to be answered sooner rather than later. How much influence will Morey have initially? Will he want to make any big moves this offseason? If so, how much liberty will he have, and which players will be considered off-limits?

If Daryl Morey wants to make a big splash as he begins his tenure with the Philadelphia 76ers, here are four players that he could target.
