Trade rumors have been surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers ever since Jahlil Okafor was drafted back in 2015. The reasoning is all of our ‘franchise cornerstones’ are all big men and we have little depth at both guard position that can provide solid production now and offer potential down the road.

Some have not yet bought into the plan for the 76ers to direct Ben Simmons to the back court.  In the NBA, seeing, and only seeing, is believing.

We have already seen that Joel Embiid is not nearly as effective when paired with Okafor. We are still waiting to see Embiid paired with Nerlens Noel however.

On top of this, Ben Simmons will be returning either at the end of January or early February. Ersan Ilyasova is showing no signs of cooling down from his hot start. And as Dario Saric plays more he’ll get more confident, especially learning off of someone like Ilyasova. We are stacked at power forward and center, someone must be moved.

Here are five players on the 76ers trade radar.
