Memphis Grizzlies Forward Could Be Philadelphia 76ers Trade Target

The Philadelphia 76ers have had themselves quite the offseason. Of course, signing Paul George was the headline-grabbing move. But they have made several other additions, which have combined to transform them into Championship contenders.

If there is one position where the 76ers still look a bit undercooked, it is power forward. Caleb Martin is projected to be the starter there next season.

Do not get us wrong, Martin is a solid player and has one of the most team-friendly contracts in the league. We have seen him deliver in Miami, in the regular season and even more importantly, against top teams in the playoffs. As a power forward, he might be a bit undersized though.

The 76ers have tried to boost their depth there by signing Guerschon Yabusele. He had a fantastic Olympic campaign. Let's see how his second run in the NBA goes. The first one was nothing to write home about but he seems to have improved a lot since then.

Despite that, there is a possibility that the 76ers could look to strengthen their power forward ranks in the future. And in that scenario, a 23-year-old Memphis Grizzlies player could be a potential trade target.

Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report wrote in the article 'Imagining Every NBA Team's Top 3 Trade Targets': "There aren't many weaknesses on a new-look Sixers team, although the power forward position is a little thin with 6'5" Caleb Martin projected to start.

"Aldama is one of the NBA's most underrated players in the league, a 23-year-old, 6'11" forward who averaged 11.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 stocks in his 35 starts for the Grizzlies last season. He can space the floor and has far better size for the position than Martin, who would get to play more of the three off the bench."

Over his three seasons with the Grizzlies, Aldama has developed into a solid NBA player. He started 35 times for them last season and averaged 26.5 minutes per game.

Someone like Aldama could be a solid contributor for the 76ers if a trade does end up happening at some point in the future.
