3 Trades the 76ers Can Make Next to Keep Joel Embiid Happy

3. O.G. Anunoby

Daryl Morey simply needs to acquire talent at this point, and guard isn't the only position where players may be available around the league. One name connected to the 76ers in the aftermath of the Harden deal is Toronto Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby.

Anunoby is no stranger to trade rumors, both because of his sitaution in Toronto and his skill set. Not only do the Raptors need to seriously contemplate a full-scale rebuild, but the Indiana product would be able to net them a nice haul if they do tear things down.

Anunoby's appeal to any contender is obvious. He's a good scorer (16.6 PPG over last three seasons) with both the build (6-foot-7, 232 pounds) and defensive instincts (league-leading 1.9 assists in 2022-23) to guard multiple positions acorss the floor. Oh, and he's a decent 3-point shooter at 37.5% for his career.

An Anunoby trade would immediately give the Philly its top defender in the starting lineup and provide a less ball-dominant complement to Maxey and Embiid who can still make plenty of positive offensive contributions.
