4 Players the 76ers should be regretting not acquiring recently

Yesterday’s trade deadline, which was predicted to be somewhat quiet and stale, ended up being quite bustling. One of the most exciting days was spent by the Philadelphia 76ers, who made a number of trades that, at the very least, altered the roster’s appearance.

Nevertheless, other players who were recently dealt were shipped for very unexpected price tags, supporting the idea that maybe the 76ers ought to have sought to make a difference for them as well. These four players were just traded, and the team itself ought to have traded for them.

The 76ers should have dealt for one of the four recently moved players. Kelly Olynyk (from Toronto to Utah)
The 76ers really needed to get someone to fill in at big man as Joel Embiid will be sidelined for a large portion of the remaining games. But Kelly Olynyk, one of the greatest centers on the market, was out of the 76ers’ reach; in exchange for Ochai Agbaji and a first-round pick, the Utah Jazz sent him to the Toronto Raptors.

Many will view Toronto’s decision to pay a first-round pick for Olynyk as a bold statement, but in reality, Agbaji was a gamble for Toronto. One could argue that even without a young gun to highlight a package by including a lower-valued first-round pick, the 76ers could have equaled or even surpassed that total given the other returnees going to Utah (Otto Porter Jr. and Kira Lewis).
Olynyk is an adept passer who can move the floor. He would have significantly improved the offensive capabilities of the 76ers compared to Paul Reed and Mo Bamba. Nevertheless, Philly isn’t entirely at fault in this situation because the asking price was probably too much for them to accept.
