Analyst creates 'all in' trade offer from Sixers for Kawhi Leonard

[jwplayer 4Yl5BM1Z-z6KDnl0B]

The options of potential deals for the Philadelphia 76ers to offer the San Antonio Spurs are somewhat endless. From a plethora of draft picks to plenty of young intriguing talent, the Sixers have the ability to create a package which undoubtedly would be enough to bring Kawhi Leonard to town.

But they haven’t reached that point yet, and it’s unknown if they will ever make the ground-shaking offer the Spurs are surely seeking.

Instead, Brett Brown and company are seemingly sticking to what they feel comfortable offering and playing the waiting game. After all, Leonard could easily be traded to a team he won’t re-sign with and will then hit free agency next offseason.

Although, you do have to wonder what a max trade offer for Leonard would look like, right? Recently, Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale broke down the impact moves a few NBA teams should still pursue this offseason.

One of the moves was for the Sixers to go all-in on a trade for Leonard, and while breaking down a variety of potential trade offers, what he called the “all in” offer was included.

And it’s a doozy.

Jerryd Bayless, Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric, 2019 first-round pick, 2020 pick swap and 2021 first-round pick (via Miami) for Kawhi Leonard

As he points out, there are a ton of options and mixtures of packages the Sixers could offer, but this one above would almost undoubtedly get a deal done.

The Spurs were previously rumored to be asking for two players and three future first-round draft picks, as Jordan Schultz of Yahoo Sports revealed. The deal above is pretty close to that, although the 2020 pick swap doesn’t exactly qualify as a new first-rounder. Regardless, it’s hard to envision the Spurs turning down the deal.

The question becomes, would the Sixers really trade both Fultz and Saric, as well as the highly-coveted 2021 first-round pick with their own 2019 first-rounder? It seems unlikely both young stars will be included in the deal, and maybe that’s what the current hold up is.

All we can do, though, is play the old wait and see game which at this point, seems like it may never end.
