Philadelphia is third-to-last in three-point shooting percentage, shooting 32.1% from distance.
One team they could look at as a trade partner to improve in that department is the Charlotte Hornets. Even if things haven’t gone the way the Sixers had planned, the Hornets have been worse, as their 7-17 record puts them as the No. 13 seed in the Eastern Conference.
If things don’t look up, Philadelphia could consider bringing back Seth Curry. Curry doesn’t have a prominent role in the Hornets’ rotation but has been consistently featured because he brings shooting to the table.
Curry is shooting 44.4% from three this season, proving he is still the dead-eye shooter he was when he was with Philadelphia. If they re-acquired him, he would be of great use.
How the Sixers could bring Curry back
Curry will make over $2 million this season, so making the contracts work in a trade would be a cinch. The following trade could happen between the two sides.
Sixers receive: Curry
Hornets receive: Reggie Jackson, 2027 Second-Round Pick
Charlotte may drive a harder bargain because Curry’s shooting is still an asset, and Jackson hasn’t done much with the Sixers. Curry is also a hometown kid, which might make it harder to pry him away.
Philadelphia will be on the prowl for more help. Curry isn’t exactly a versatile player, but he would help the Sixers single-handedly in a gigantic way if they brought him back.
