As NBA free agency negotiations begin, the landscape is constantly changing which makes it difficult to predict how things will unfold. However, it’s evident that the Sixers would benefit from Klay Thompson’s outside shooting alongside players like Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Thompson, who is a five-time All-Star and four-time NBA champion, boasts an impressive 41.3 percent career shooting percentage from three-point range.
With the importance of shooting emphasized by Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, Thompson’s abilities align well with the team’s strategy. Morey has expressed the value of having shooters on the roster to support players like Embiid, who becomes a more formidable force with strong shooters around him. Thompson’s shooting skills could enhance the Sixers’ lineup and elevate their offensive capabilities.
According to reports, Klay Thompson is reportedly planning to have discussions with several teams including the Sixers, Mavericks, Lakers, and Clippers as he departs from the Warriors. The possibility of a sign-and-trade option is on the table for Thompson. Meanwhile, Paul George is also considering speaking with the Clippers, Sixers and Magic as he prepares for free agency negotiations.
The Sixers are showing interest in acquiring George through trade or signing him as a free agent. George is an excellent scorer and defender and would bring a lot of value to the team’s lineup if they were able to acquire him.
It remains to be seen what will happen in these negotiations but one thing is clear: The NBA landscape during free agency is always unpredictable which makes it hard to predict what will happen next.
