5 Realistic Trade Targets For The Philadelphia 76ers In 2016-17

With several assets available and plenty of cap space to work with, the Philadelphia 76ers could realistically consider a trade for one of these players in 2016-17.

The Philadelphia 76ers, coming off a miserable 2015-16 campaign, are looking like a competent team this season. However, if they really are invested in contending in 2016-17, they should make a trade at some point in the coming months.

If that’s the case, there are a number of options for them to choose from. Seeing as they’d likely target some guard help, I’ve taken a look at some players who could be available when the time for a trade comes.

From proven veterans to high-upside prospects, there are several directions the 76ers could decide to go in with a potential trade. Either way, finding some help at point guard or shooting guard should be the top priority.

It’s not like they need to add any more starting-caliber centers to the mix.

Philadelphia has some significant trade assets and plenty of cap space (about $40 million above the tax threshold) to work with. That’s why they may actually be the team most likely to make a deal before the trade deadline.

So here they are–five realistic trade targets for the 76ers as the 2016-17 NBA season gets rolling.
