The Philadelphia 76ers now have the second worst record in the NBA and don’t seem particularly interested in winning it all.
Instead, it looks like they are set on adding to their new core of rookie point guard Michael Carter-Williams and rookie big man Nerlens Noel.
That means skilled players like center Spencer Hawes, and wings Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner are likely on the block and there has been heavy interest in all three.
On Tuesday, Tom Moore and Christopher Vito spoke with several members of the team about Thursday’s trade deadline.
#Sixers Hawes says this is the most trade talk he's heard. Called it 'a perfect storm' with rebuilding team and expiring contract.

#Sixers young: 'If they see fit to trade Spence, me or Evan, we have to go.' But 'I would like to stay.'

#Sixers Thad Young said he's not worried about the trade deadline. "If they see fit to trade me, you move on."

The 76ers are certainly one of the teams to watch in the next two days.
