The Philadelphia 76ers currently have two future first round picks and three swaps available to trade on the open market to improve their roster around Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George. As the Sixers were a cap space team this past offseason, they are below the second apron and have more flexibility than some other contenders.
“I have been told repeatedly, the Sixers are willing to put first round draft capital on the table for players they will then have to go into the second apron to re-sign next summer,” said Fischer.
While Maxey is out with a hamstring injury, the Sixers will have Embiid make his season debut next week.
