Bleacher Report floated Washington Wizards swingman Corey Kispert as a possible option for the Sixers, noting that he shot 40.2% from three-point range last season, though he hasn’t had such luck this season.
This season, his three-point shooting percentage has fallen to 31.3%. That likely has decreased his trade value a bit.
The Sixers could take advantage of the Wizards’ impending firesale
The Wizards are the worst team in the NBA record-wise at 3-21. They signaled that they planned to start a rebuild in 2023 when they traded Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis.
They’ve only continued to do so when they traded Deni Avdija for Malcolm Brogdon. Kispert could be the next one to be traded, though it will be a while if the Wizards make him available.
The one catch is that Kispert just extended with the Wizards. That means that they can’t trade him for an entire year.
A trade for him is something the Sixers should keep their eye on after this season is over because he wouldn’t be too expensive to acquire.
Someone like Kispert fits better on a team with playoff aspirations like the Sixers. They need more perimeter wings that can space the floor. He would be ideal for them, but they’ll have to wait a while before they can make trading for him a reality.
