Woj: 76ers approaching trade deadline as if Embiid will return | NBA Countdown
In a crowded top of the Eastern Conference so let’s check in and dive into the 76ers a little bit more as we say hello to our senior Insider Adrien wowski W how has Joel embiid’s injury impacted how the 76ers are going to approach the trade deadline Malika it
Hasn’t changed the way Philly was approaching trade deadline uh in this way they remain buyers in this Marketplace they’ve been engaged all over the league uh on multiple players and I think certainly you know Detroit is a place that the Sixers have talked with Alec Burks buam bogdanovich but but
A number of other places and different kinds of players they would like to get some size uh to kind of Stave off this uh several week period without Joel embiid some shooting some ball handling uh I think this is a sixer team you know that believes that they can get uh until
ID comes back you know essentially with a group around Tyrese Maxi to Tobias Harris that that they hope can stay out of the play in right now they’re in fifth place you know there a few games up on IND Indiana for sixth place they don’t want to drop below there and they
Are still operating Malik as though they believe uh they’re going to get Joel embiid back at some point and when they do they want to be able to have a Supporting Cast that still allows them to make a run in the East right because we have seen them be one of the most
Dominant teams in the NBA this season with Joel embiid they want to make sure that INF structure is still there if and when they get him back wo thank you so very much for spending a little time with Us

GET DEMAR I FEEL LIKE THATS THE BEST PIECE TO WIN A CHIP AND HELP THEM THROUGH THE REGULAR SEASON
Malika's voice is so annoying its incredible
As a sixers fan I don’t know why we don’t do go for Lavine 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
LeBron never had a dynasty
I can’t stand Malika
I keep on saying that the 76ers should go out and trade for Miles Bridges. I get the controversy surrounding him however the guy balled out tonight and would be a STAR player if it wasn't for the mistake he made. No ones perfect and the man paid for his actions. You can get this guy for pennys on the dollar. I would be on the phone right now with Charlotte if I was Morey.
I feel for Nurse the Management and owner gave hin nothing to work with! He must use the young G league team to start! They have no three point shooters who can catch and shoot! Rebounding is bad on both offense and defense!
Booooooo Malika, BOOOOOOOO
Harris and KJ Martin for Sexton and Markkanen
76ers are never a championship team unless they can carry the scoring burden when Joel is unavailable due to injury. If he can play only 25-30 min per 65 games (to preserve him for the playoffs) then they need 3 other guys that can consistently carry the scoring burden. In other words 2 guys you can depend on averaging 20-25ppg and 1 other guy averaging close to 30ppg when Embiid is out.
Tobias Harris, KJ Martin and draft picks for Bojan Bodganovic and Mike Muscala
