The Philadelphia 76ers have a decision to make regarding Matisse Thybulle heading into Thursday’s trade deadline.
As the NBA Draft approaches on Thursday, the Philadelphia 76ers continue to be in the center of much of the rumors going around the NBA.
A flurry of reports on Monday morning all pointed in the direction of a Ben Simmons-James Harden trade not being close. The trade deadline is this Thursday at 3 PM.
With the trade deadline looming just over two weeks away, a huge question weighs over the Philadelphia 76ers’ front office: Pull the trigger on a Simmons deal now or wait until the offseason and go after James Harden.
According to a report from Keith Pompey, the Sixers have made Matisse Thybulle “close to being untouchable” in trade talks. Should the team make him available as part of a Simmons trade package?
The Philadelphia 76ers should continue to be patient when it comes to the Ben Simmons trade market. Taking Jerami Grant as a centerpiece in a Simmons return is simply not good enough.
Tobias Harris joins Ben Simmons in foregoing playing in the FIBA World Cup to spend more time practicing and preparing for the upcoming NBA season.
