NBA Rumors Trade Scenario II

The Philadelphia 76er have pieces this season, pieces that have value to a play-off hopeful team like the Atlanta Hawks.  With the Hawks down Korver, they may be looking for more value in the backcourt.

Jerryd Bayless, currently out for the season after wrist surgery, would be an excellent piece for the Hawks.  Bayless is 28 years old, is under contract for three years, and is versatile enough to play at either the point guard or shooting guard for the Hawks.  He also can score, has a nice shot from the perimeter, and is savvy enough to contribute in many ways.

How could he be up for trade while still injured? Sergio Rodriguz has stepped up, the team has promise in T.J. McConnell, and Ben Simmons returns next month.

So what does this new trade scenario look like?
