Kevin Huerter would be the player going to the Philadelphia 76ers in this deal. He has played in 21 games for Atlanta, starting 10, and is averaging 11.8 points per game. Huerter is shooting 39.3% from three-point range for the Atlanta Hawks — making him an intriguing target for certain teams.

The emphasis for the 76ers has been to surround franchise-cornerstones Joel Embiid and Kevin Huerter with perimeter shooting. Making a move for a player with Huerter’s skill-set would certainly align with Philadelphia’s continued plan.

Philadelphia is one of those teams and they have some assets to send back. It begins with Furkan Korkmaz, who has played 11 games for the Sixers this season. They would also send Atlanta a first- and second-round draft pick.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade centered around Kevin Huerter would benefit both the Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks.
