76ers / Magic
draft day trade. This only works if the magic move up to #4(currently #5, only need to jump up one spot with the ping pong balls) and the Lakers drop to #6(currently #4, a jump 2 spots back). This is all very possible. If this happens, sixers get Lakers #6 pick this year.
76ers trade pick #6 and pick #15(miamis pick) to Orlando for pick #4.
Heres why I think this is a good trade for both teams: Orlando, in everyones mock seems to have Stanley Johnson as a perfect fit for them. I think he will still be available at #6. Magic don't need mudiay or Russell, and sixers actually could use both of them. Orlando gains pick #15 and still gets there man in Johnson.
Sixers sacrifice miamis pick to move up 2 spots and draft the backcourt of their future, Russell and Mudiay. Have Mudiay at the point and Russell as the 2 guard. Both are 6'5" and have skill sets that complement each other perfectly. Russell has an incredible jumper, even beyond the 3 point line. Perfect fit together.
PG: Mudiay, Wroten, P.Jackson, Canaan
SG: Russell, Wroten, McCrae
SF: Covington, Grant , Saric
PF: Noel, Saric, Robinson
C: Embiid, Noel, Sims
Plus, 76ers still have the strong possiblility of getting OKC;s #1(19-21) this year and 5 #2's.
Comments?
Orlando can't move up one spot to 4. Only to a top 3 spot.
Orlando can move to #4 and lakers to ##6 if Orlando finishes with a worse record. both teams currently have 42 losses, and lakers have a lot of remaining games left against very poor teams. with 24 games left, lakers could have a better record then Orlando. if this happens, my scenario can work.
Magic are better off targeting Towns, Turner or Porzingis depending where they land in the draft they won't let harris go for nothing and they can play Gordon at sf. A Pf who can stretch the floor and rim protect should be their target.
Sixers say no
I actually was contemplating this as well. While I don't think Russell will be a great point guard I could see him at the shooting guard. Mudiay and Russell would be young and raw but could be really solid. That's a hell of a draft. Again Lakers would need to go on even more of a streak to reach the sixth spot though.
I still like mudiay and grant over mudiay and russell.
And I like it when good players say they want to play for a specific team. Like when he said he wants the sixers to draft him so can play with our future system and his younger bro jerami.
Galaxy Gordon:
the magic won't get towns at 4, and turner or porzingis will definitely be there at #6, so your sceneiro works even better for his trade to be a success for both teams.'ll even through in orlandos own #2 in the deal which the sixers currently have.

I did say depending on where they land, as the magic could end up moving up if we learnt anything from the Cavs is the lottery is not set in stone. My point was not about getting towns it was that a Pf that rim protects and stretches the floor is better suited then Johnson for the magic and theirs 3 players in the lottery that fit description.
