Philadelphia 76ers Receive: F Doug McDermott
San Antonio Spurs Receive: G/F Matisse Thybulle, G Danny Green
Danny Green’s inclusion here speaks to an unfortunate event.
In this year’s playoffs, Green tore both the ACL and the LCL in his left knee. Reportedly, Green doesn’t intend to sit the whole 2022-23 season. Sadly, his body may demand otherwise. The recovery time on these injuries can be long and arduous.
Were Green healthy, he’d be an even better complementary player than McDermott for this group. He’s a similar floor-spacer and a much more competent defender.
On the other hand, there’s never been any sense in crying over spilled milk.

Green is a contract matcher in this exchange. The meat of the trade is McDermott for Thybulle. Given Thybulle’s shooting woes, that feels like a solid swap for the 76ers.
Does it make any sense for the San AntonioSpurs?
