76ers Off-Season

trade 2 of 4 second round picks
draft Smith(PG) with 4th pick if Fultz(PG), Ball(PG) and Jackson(SF) are off the board, because he is the better fit to Embiid and Simmons (not Fox or Monk)
resign Splitter to 1y
let Stauskas and Rodriguez walk in FA
let Simmons and Smith share PG/Ballhandling duties

76ers:
Smith/McConnell/Bayless
Covington/Henderson/Anderson
Simmons/Luwawu/Anderson/2nd round pick
Saric/Holmes/2nd round pick
Embiid/Okafor/Spliter
- trade Okafor for rotational players in order to strengthen the bench mob
- develop young talents and try to reach the playoffs in weaker eastern conference
- keep money to go after main FA in 2018 or 2019 to complete rebuild and become a contender for years

I'm not convinced Smith is a better fit than Monk for 76ers. Monk would give them an off-ball scorer that can stretch the floor and do some playmaking on a secondary level (Simmons should be primary playmaker) . Smith is an athletic freak but needs the ball in his hand to be effective (conflict with Simmons) and isn't a good shooter which will hurt spacing (Simmons also isn't a good shooter) . In fact if I had to choose between Fox and Smith I'd probably take Fox who I believe has similar shooting concerns and isn't quite as athletic but brings high level defense and doesn't have some of injury concerns Smith has.

Actually Monk and Tatum`s shooting abilities play more into the Sixer`s systems then Jacksons slashing ability. If they plan on giving Simmons the ball, then he will need as many shooters around him as possible.

We use our pick (at #4) to draft Tatum bcoz that's way to high to pick up Monk. Trade Rodriques, 2 late 2nd rnd picks 2017 and Sactown 2019 1st for a 2017 Lottery 1st pick and draft either Luke Kennard or Terrance Ferguson. And with our very first pick in the 2nd rnd we pick up either Dewayne Bacon/ Jawun Evans/ Monte Morris or Josh Hart.

This would give the Sixer`s the ability to go deep into there bench. (maybe 9-10) deep.

PG Simmons / McConnell / Bayless
SG Henderson / Tatum / Stauskas
SF Covington / Anderson / Luwawu
PF Ilyasova / Saric /
C Embiid / Holmes / Okafor

If we trade Okafor, Rodrigues and two seconds we could get Portland (20th or 23rd) or Toronto (26th) pick late first round. Then we can get a better SG (D. Bacon or J. Hart), cut Stauskas. and with our 2nd round picks (remember we have 4, two traded) we pick up a project Center or a European stash player.
