Philadelphia 76ers: 4 potential trades if the Washington Wizards implode

This trade would depend largely on how the Sixers view 2019 free agency. If they have a legitimate chance to sign another max free agent, Otto Porter‘s contract probably ends all discussions. If not, Porter could be a valuable addition to the starting five.

Porter is struggling early in the season, but that can be attributed to the Wizards’ questionable decision making and toxic situation. He’s averaging just 10.6 points per game — his lowest mark since 2014-15 — but that shouldn’t dissuade the Sixers.

At his best, Porter is among the league’s most efficient scorers. He’s a knockdown shooter who, when given the opportunity, can also put the ball on the floor and score in isolation. Next to Embiid, Butler and Simmons, Porter would be the ideal stretch-four.

For his career, Porter is a 40.2 percent three-point shooter with a history of drilling spot-up jumpers. He’s also a versatile defender, guarding multiple positions and adding another flexible body to Brett Brown’s switch-heavy scheme.

An Embiid-Porter-Butler-Redick-Simmons quintet might challenge Boston for the second-best starting five in the NBA. It strikes an excellence balance between defense, versatility, spacing and playmaking.

Giving up Fultz for a near-max talent, at this point, seems reasonable. Wilson Chandler matches contracts and the first-round pick gives Washington more long-term equity. It might take a tad more from Philadelphia, though, depending on the other packages sent to D.C.
