NBA Trade Rumours: Philadelphia 76ers Eyeing Pacers’ Victor Oladipo

The Indiana Pacers have a tough call to make this offseason. They can either trade Victor Oladipo or wait for him to walk in 2021.

Realizing his potential with the Pacers, he became an All-Star in the 2017-18 season. It looked like he had found the perfect place for himself, but after the last season or so, his future might lie elsewhere. Maybe the Philadelphia 76ers?

Owing to a season-ending injury last year, he only played 36 games with the Pacers. Then this season, he only played 19 games in the regular season and the 4 playoff matchups in which they failed to progress from the first round. However, he still holds a lot of value.

Talking about the offseason, if the Pacers decide to trade the star where can he fit? Here come the Philadelphia 76ers, who after a catastrophic season can get a good deal in the trade market. Although this may be a little difficult, it isn’t impossible.

Who can the Philadelphia 76ers trade?

The most exciting part of the offseason is the trade rumors, and the Sixers were speculated to trade for Chris Paul. But if they strike out there, Victor Oladipo could be their next best chance at a full roster makeover.

The issue with the Sixers is that it is a team filled with Big’s but they don’t fit in together. With Mike D’Antoni as the major target for a coaching job, Oladipo could perfectly fit his fast-paced system.

It all comes down to whom the Sixers will be looking to cut loose. Although they would want it to be Al Horford, his massive contract would likely get in the way.

This leaves them with Ben Simmons. Moving Simmons to the Pacers for Victor Oladipo and Jeremy Lamb could bring balance to the roster. Oladipo could be an expensive pick, but the Sixers have shown that they don’t mind it as long as it’s worth it.

Will the Sixers make this gamble, or will they find a way to go for a rebuild without Victor?
