2. Dejounte Murray

Despite being one of the most successful franchises of the last two decades, the San Antonio Spurs always seemed to be a bit underrated. They fly under the radar despite some impressive work developing their young players.

One of the players who has come on this season is Dejounte Murray. Murray is a budding star with his stat-stuffing performances. He is a walking triple-double and someone the Philadelphia 76ers should be adjusting their stance on.

It was originally reported that he wasn’t someone they were interested in acquiring a package built around, but that should have changed with the season he is putting together. Averaging 17.8 points, 8.8 assists, 8.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 34.2 minutes per game, Murray is the kind of two-way presence the 76ers are looking for if they deal Simmons.

Only 25-years old himself, Murray has plenty of room for development still as well. He very well could make his first All-Star game this season, which could possibly change how the 76ers view him.

Simmons would be open to playing for Gregg Popovich and the Spurs, so there is a deal to be made here. If the 76ers wait too long, the price could change or Murray could be taken off the table altogether.
