Many around the league believe Victor Oladipo will end up in Miami, though the Heat are not the only suitor and Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer wonders whether he’d be a fit with the Sixers.
Pompey argues that although Oladipo needs the ball in his hands to make maximum impact, he envisions a scenario where the shooting guard comes into Philadelphia and makes it work alongside Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Tobias Harris, similar to how Brooklyn has multiple stars working in unison.
What would it cost for Philly to acquire the former No. 2 overall pick from Houston? Danny Green would certainly be involved because of his salary but the Sixers would also have to include young prospects and/or picks.
