The Philadelphia 76ers should trade for Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu, who has reportedly become available. Okongwu is an affordable, versatile big man currently averaging 16.2 PPG and 7.8 RPG. He would be an ideal fit alongside Joel Embiid, offering shooting (36% from deep) and strong defense, filling a distinct need in the starting lineup.
To acquire Okongwu, author suggests a package centered around Jared McCain, including Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andre Drummond. While losing McCain is painful, the trade provides the 76ers with a long-term cost-controlled frontcourt player. With the team exceeding expectations this season, adding Okongwu would elevate them from a playoff threat to a legitimate contender.
