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

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. 

 

 

In regards to Jack I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in a Hawks uniform.... Delaney actually hinted at it and it went unnoticed....

And what this trade means in regards to our potential "big move" trade is that Baze would have to be the guy out the door because otherwise contracts don't matchup with THJ,Prince,or Bembry unless they are side pieces to a big puzzle.

Seeing how we made a move tonight, maybe Budcox is a source for Aldridge on this story.

And considering the Hawks bench ranks 18th with a cumulative three-point percentage of 34.4, adding a knockdown shooter like Ilyasova who's converted 38.1 percent of his catch-and-shoot triples this season should give them the boost necessary to compete for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Can Illy play SF?

Defensively, no. Offensively, yes.

Somewhere buried pages from here is a post where I despaired at what a 2014-15 edition of Mike Scott could have meant for this team.

Tonight, the white... pale white... Mike Scott seems to have arrived.

If adding another scorer (after Ersan) can get our offense to 15th in the NBA we could maybe do something in the playoffs.

Ersan Ilyasova leads the NBA in charges drawn: 25. Get ready for some intense standing still.

Kind of similar to what I was hoping for.

Has Langston Galloway been released by SAC? If he's going to (or if so), pick him up! At the very minimum, go get Shelvin Mack back (he's not playing). Delaney is a 11-15th man in the nba.

[NBASupes]

He was a solid player for Philly. I know because they were one of the teams I watched a lot of on LP.

Leads the league in charges drawn. Excellent team defender, plays hard every minute he's out there and he seems to always have big games against us. It's not a glamorous move but it makes us a better team no question about it.

This is a pretty big trade. Gives us a legit 6th man to pair with Timmy

I want more.

I just hope he doesn't get the Humph treatment from Bud.

[Bankingitbig]

When I watched 76ers games this season (to see what Embiid was all about), Ilyasova looked like a major chucker to me. Like THJ on the Knicks level of chucking. Hopefully that was more of him just feeling the need to be aggressive in order to win more minutes with the logjam of bigs they have and with their coach constantly toying with lineups. I'm sure Bud will quickly put an end to it though. That said he isn't terribly inefficient shooting.
