Scenario No. 1
The Sixers would likely look to acquire a package with a couple of young players, a veteran and a draft pick. In Goran Dragic, Josh Richardson and Bam Adebayo, they would tick off each box.
Over the past few years, the Sixers have struggled to produce anything close to a pure point guard, somebody who can stretch the floor and provide shooting along with capable ball-handling, and Dragic would fill that role more than adequately.
Richardson could fill the now vacated wing role that Jimmy Butler would be leaving, and Adebayo could single-handedly repair the massive deficit of depth on the Sixers roster behind Joel Embiid. While Boban Marjanovic can be a tremendous asset at times in specific matchups, he struggles to play the kind of minutes load the team needs when Embiid gets nights off or needs a blow.
This trade leaves the Miami Heat a bit short on the salary requirement, however. The Heat would be receiving back $32.7 million in salary, and only sending out about $32.8 million. There are a variety of ways this could be rectified, including waiving Derrick Jones Jr. and either Yante Maten or Duncan Robinson, all of whom have minimum non-guaranteed salaries, or including them in the trade.
