The Philadelphia 76ers just re-signed JJ Redick to a one-year deal, filling a need on offense. One of the team's other needs is the back-up center role. Amir Johnson seems unlikely to return and Richaun Holmes fell out of favor in Brett Brown's rotation last season and frankly, he's more of a power forward anyway. The Sixers have been linked to free agent center Kyle O'Quinn and they remain interested in the former Knick as of Monday.
Sources: The Philadelphia 76ers continue to express interest in Kyle O'Quinn. The Los Angeles Clippers and New Orleans Pelicans are also in the mix for the big man.

O'Quinn, 28, would provide a more physical, energetic presence behind Joel Embiid, standing an inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than Amir Johnson. He'd bring more of an offensive game to the back-up role and is very active on the glass. O'Quinn averaged 7.1 points and 6.1 rebounds in 77 games last season, shooting 51.8 percent from the floor.
