Bryan Colangelo has already made two moves prior to the trade deadline, and he may not be done dealing.
Adrian Wojnarowski has reported that the Sixers are interested in acquiring Avery Bradley prior to the Trade Deadline:
Sources: Philadelphia searching for defensive-minded guards to play with Ben Simmons. One target: Boston's Avery Bradley. No traction.

Bradley has been out with an achilles injury and there is still no clear timetable for his return.
Wojnarowski notes that there is not much traction to these rumors, but it is interesting to see them targeting guards to play with Ben Simmons.
This report suggests that the Sixers have committed fully to Ben Simmons playing Point Guard, although he has not yet played a game at the position, or the NBA.
In addition to this report, the Sixers are still expected to attempt to move Andrew Bogut, who was acquired in the Nerlens Noel trade, prior to the Trade Deadline.
