Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Terrence Ross

Orlando Magic Receive: Danny Green, 2022 First Round Pick

The construction of this hypothetical NBA trade scenario is a rather straightforward one. The only two players being involved would include Terrence Ross to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Danny Green.

While the players included in the deal make it just a head-to-head swap. There’s more context to consider.

Both Green and Ross are under contract through the 2022-23 season. However, a key distinction is that Green has a fully non-guaranteed salary for the final year of his deal and can be waived for salary cap relief when that time comes.

The 76ers could use a more dynamic shot creator out on the perimeter than what Green’s primarily spot-up shooting impact tends to bring.

Meanwhile, the Magic are fully in on the rebuilding process and could use a mechanism to clear as much salary cap space long-term as possible. Adding an asset in the process is intriguing.
