Philadelphia 76ers
Trade target: Harrison Barnes, F, Sacramento Kings
I’m not sure how close the Philadelphia 76ers are to contending for a championship but this is a front office that is operating as if they are just a move or two away. And I would be surprised if that feeling didn’t follow the team into the NBA Trade Deadline.
And there’s one player that I believe would make a lot of sense for the Sixers.
I’m not sure if the Sacramento Kings would consider moving him at the trade deadline (especially because this is a team that looks like they’re going to make the playoffs in the West), but if Harrison Barnes would become available, he’s someone that the Sixers could use.
Philly has the top-tier talent (when healthy and playing at their level) to compete with any team in the Eastern Conference. It’s their supporting cast, more often than not, that has left much to be desired for this team when they’ve fallen short in the postseason as of late.
