Brian Windhorst (ESPN): "I would expect Philly to make one to three trades before Thursday afternoon"
Windhorst talked about the NBA trade deadline on his podcast. The Sixers conversations begins at the 48:40 mark. You can listen here.
"They are now operating in talks like he's going to come back and hopefully before the playoffs. So I would expect Philly to make one to three trades before Thursday afternoon...I would expect them to try to acquire players that either have expiring contracts or that have next year's salaries that are not fully guaranteed, or that can easily be offloaded. I think they want to hedge their bets, not just with Embiid's injury, but hedge their bets on what happens with this season so that if they need to go back and open up the $50 million in cap room that their currently holding, they can. So it would not surprise me—they have a whole bunch of guys with expiring contracts. The most likely guys to go are Marcus Morris, Robert Covington, Furkan Korkmaz, maybe Danuel House if you get down the list. Talking about targeting a guy like Bruce Brown, team option. Talking about targeting a guy like Bojan Bogdanović, team option. They're going to try to get maybe a backup center...potentially a guy like Kelly Olynyk, who is in the last year of his deal. Andre Drummond, who is in the last year of his deal...And Philly has three tradeable firsts, six tradeable seconds."
Jake Fischer (Yahoo Sports): Two targets for the Sixers include Pistons guard Bojan Bogdanović and Pacers guard Buddy Hield
"Detroit has long shown an interest in a reunion with Tobias Harris, league sources told Yahoo Sports, but in any deal where the Sixers bring back Bogdanović, it would seem Philadelphia doesn't want to part with Harris," Fischer wrote.
Woj (ESPN): Sixers will remain buyers, mentions backup C like Drummond, Olynyk
"Sixers are very much weighing the possibility that Joel Embiid does return this season," Woj said. "Because of that they're going to continue to be buyers at this trade deadline...Perhaps, is there a backup center that can help carry them."
"Philly would like to be able to stay at least in sixth place."
