Sixers are finalizing a trade to Ersan Ilyasova to Atlanta for Tiago Splitter and two second-round picks, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Ersan has the ugliest shot with the prettiest result in league history IMO!

 

Also, @lethalweapon3 has endless pregame thread options now with Ersie!

Yeah he does like them, but I'm worried he still sees Moose as our backup C..

Problem with Moose is he can't guard stretch 4's.

Illy put up 20-8 Per 36 w/Philly

Too young to know any better, I suppose...

Also to note... This basically limits any blockbuster trade for the Hawks since Splitter was a crucial piece in terms of matching salary.

Not exactly. But it's a lot more tough. Kris can reject any trade due to his bird rights. We could trade Thabo, Tim, Prince, Delaney and Scott. The issue is this: 

We can take Niang and Young combining Mo Williams's TPE.

The issue is, this leave us with only 11 players. We could sign Jack and Lamar to fill out the roster. Then cut Niang and Young for Edy and someone else in the D-League.

This would make us: 

Dennis/Jack/Young

Bazemore/Bembry/Lamar

PG-13/Dunleavy Jr./Niang

Sap/Ersan/Hump

Dwight/Moose/Edy

 

So, we still have options. Hump and Moose play both positions so they are interchangeable.

Count me in the thumbs up crowd.  I've been keeping an eye on this dude all season.

Certainly not a blockbuster, but a pretty solid pickup nonetheless.

Actually a few years too young but I'm familiar with Jamaal. Magic spoke highly of him. Lol.

For Splitter this is ok. We actualluy get someone on the court to play. Glad we still have the Brooklyn pick.

I want more.

His shot was about as ugly as Childress shot, but he could actually make some shots.

[NBASupes]

Clearly a move that makes our bench much better. Sorry but Mike Scott isn't producing and Moose is our 5. We needed a backup 4, especially one who could score.

Seems like too many parts to it for it to be possible

[High5]

Not the blockbuster move we were dreaming of, but it's a good trade. Nice upgrade to the bench.

[Vol4ever]

Collison next?

Not quite. It's similar to NO/SAC. SAC had to release Barnes. IND would have to release two low level players. If anything Thabo would be trade bait for another trade to give Indy picks.
