Philadelphia 76ers
After acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Philadelphia 76ers hoped to enter the conversation of possible contenders in what many consider as a wide open Eastern Conference. And while they have been one of the better teams in the NBA since the move, there is still something missing on this roster.
They could use more depth and more shooting, something that, in an ideal world, they could find at the NBA Trade Deadline. However, it could be difficult considering nearly every contender is looking for much of the same thing.
Another reason why the Sixers are worth watching in the coming weeks is because of Markelle Fultz, who probably needs to get moved sooner rather than later. Even though, as he continues to rehab, he has been out of the spotlight, this isn’t a problem that can just be forgotten. The Sixers should be active at the NBA Trade Deadline, and there are a number of ways they can secure a move.
