Ex-Lakers sharpshooter having career season predicted as 76ers trade target
Because the Philadelphia 76ers have lacked spacing, plenty of sharpshooters have been floated as potential targets for them.
From reuniting with alumni like Seth Curry to adding a shooter with some size like Simone Fontecchio, plenty of shooters could fit with the Sixers.
Philly Take with RB floated another potential option for the Sixers: Detroit Pistons sharpshooter Malik Beasley. Beasley has been a bit of a journeyman over the past several years, and this season, he’s been excellent.
Beasley has produced more with the touches the Pistons give him. He’s averaging a career-high 16 points while shooting 43.7% and 41.4% from three.
This has paid off for the Pistons, who are 11-16 and the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference, a game and a half ahead of the Sixers in the conference standings.
That’s why it’s hard to see the Pistons giving him up. They don’t want to mess with their most promising team since Blake Griffin’s days.
The only way the Sixers could get Beasley
The Pistons could mess with what’s working, but only for an upgrade. If they find an upgrade for Beasley, that could lead to a potential trade to the Sixers later.
It’s hard to see the Pistons trading Beasley in the middle of a career season, but it has happened before. They’ve been impressive, but they are also at a crossroads.
They could also pack it in for the season to try for Cooper Flagg, but they may see this season as a stepping stone to something better.
President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey has pulled a rabbit out of a hat before, so never say never. If he managed to get Beasley, it would be a colony of rabbits he pulled out to be honest.
