5 Newly-available trade targets 76ers should pursue
The Philadelphia 76ers are currently leading the league after navigating the turmoil surrounding James Harden in the early going. Tyrese Maxey rose to prominence while Joel Embiid established himself as the world’s finest player, helping them win 15 of their first 22 games. The Sixers front office, led by Daryl Morey, received draft capital in exchange for Harden, and they would really like to strengthen their squad by the deadline of February 8.
The Sixers may choose to go for depth around Embiid and Maxey or acquire a third star. Though Morey is constantly looking for elite players, Philadelphia might be able to fight for the championship with just one or two additions. Another obstacle to overcome if Morey wishes to keep his flexibility is the possibility that they will have cap space in the winter.
Before the deadline, fans are begging for a trade. This week will see a lot of talk since most players who signed contracts during the offseason can be traded on December 15. Who ought the 76ers to aim for?
5. Vincent DiVincenzo
In the offseason, DiVincenzo signed a four-year, $46.8 million contract with the Knicks. Although his playing time and output are declining, the 26-year-old was excited to move to New York City to be with his Villanova colleagues Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson.
Is the 6’4 guard content in his current position? This is the lowest amount of minutes he has played per game since his 2019 rookie campaign. Although DiVincenzo’s chances of scoring and creating plays have decreased, he is still shooting a career-high 42.7 percent from three-point range. He might be sent out as part of the trade if the Knicks decide to upgrade their roster.
Philadelphia requires a second guard who can both make a few plays and play strong defense. DiVincenzo feels at ease taking a role and coming off the bench. The 6’4 guard would be an excellent addition if the 76ers decide to make additions. Donte DiVincenzo won’t be available unless the Knicks sign a big-name player before the cutoff.
