Bos - Phi
Bos gets - Noel and Wroten
- Rim protector
Phi gets - Bradley, Young, Rozier, and PJIII
- Gets shooting
Very unlikely for 76ers to do. I know this trade will get a lot of unbelievables but if Embiid is healthy he can make up Noel defense and you can still draft twice in the top 5 and late first to get more defensive
Draft Ben Simmons to give you a 1 - 2 option w/ Okafor
Draft Kris Dunn to be your floor generator
Draft Amida Brimah to be your rim protector in case Embiid doesn't work out
Dunn/Bradley/Rozier
Stauskas/Young
Simmons/Grant
Saric/PJIII/Mickey
Okafor/Brimah

The reason its unbelievable is your own recognition that it requires very high picks to land the BIG you're trying to trade for. Boston will not pick that high in the draft so you're essentially trying to glue together three former first round picks that were in the mid-late teens to trade up into the top 3-5 (and throwing in PJ3's contract for the Sixers to eat. Thanks for that). And you want Wroten too.

Sixers pass big time on that deal. Sixers would need smart and Bradley in any Noel trade for sure. Probably would need a few of bostons first rounders as well since most of them are late first anyway. Wroten is far from a Throw in as I'm not even sure if he's not better then Bradley on his own. For the record I do believe Bradley is better but the jury's out on wroten until he gets a real chance to play.
So yeah a deal should look like:
Boston gets Noel and wroten
Sixers get smart Bradley and at least two future first rounders ( probably both late firsts)

Tre, are you kidding? First off, the jury is in, Wroten is a role player. He played for the sixers, got lots of playing time, scored 16 a game, 5 assist, 4 turnovers and shot terribly from the field. this was his third year, if there isn't stark improvement, usually won't be. He just throws it up too often, turns it over too much and those never equate to success. Bradley is far and away better. Noel, is nice. But he is entirely defense. He will never be a big threat offensively. That deal is so ridiculously loaded for the sixers it's upsetting, because you think it's fair. Wroten at BEST would be 1 late first. Most likely not that. So you want Bradley, Smart and another first for noel. It's just absurd. I think Noel is very good. I don't think he'll ever be an all-star and definitely not a superstar. But he will be a solid player for a while. Wroten is just not good. Simple as that. There is a reason no team wants him and he is in and out of the D-league.

Wroten is 22. If that the case the jury is out on more then three fourths or more of the league. Yes it's his third seasons. First season he never played a minute really. Second year he was a back up. Third year he was forced to be a back up and put up 15 a game behind mcw a career ball hog. I think wroten needs a chance to start for a season. If it doesn't work this year it's over for him in my opinion. He's as ready as you can be at this point. Noel is 20 still and you can't judge a guy after one year of playing. That's just idiotic.

Pizza, Boston has made their fortune over the years trading small for bigs. Then they go and replace the smalls they just traded.
I'm not falling for it. I'm keeping Noel and getting my smalls in the draft. All the guys in that trade were obtained by the Celts in the teens. There's a reason they want (in this trade) Noel. Because they can't get that player where they draft and its hard to sign them via FA.
You might see the talent exchange as fair, and it might be, but its much harder for the Celts to get the big man than it is for the Sixers to get the smalls.
