NBA Trade Rumors: Philadelphia 76ers in trade talks with 29 other teams
By Josh Hill
The NBA trade deadline is around 72 hours away, which means that teams are starting to truly get serious about making deals before the deadline passes. Perhaps the most active team has been the Philadelphia 76ers, who have been on the phone almost daily it seems and have therefore been in rumors just about hourly.
According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the 76ers have been on the phone with 29 other teams in the NBA with some talks still ongoing as the deadline looms.
"As a result, the 76ers are believed to be the most active team in trade talks leading up to the deadline. The Sixers have had discussions with all 29 other NBA franchises.They are unlikely to make a move until the final hours before the deadline, but there’s also a chance the Sixers won’t make any moves."
As of right now, it appears likely that Evan Turner will be dealt somewhere while Thaddeus Young and Spencer Hawes remain wild cards to be moved. Philly wants to amass as many draft picks as they can, and it’s clear they’re leaving no stone unturned when it comes to moving their best trade chips.
