Well if the only voice in the room is Sam Hinkie, what does he say about the needs of this Sixers team? What insight could he, would he share with us? The Sixers GM put his thoughts out there for the public record on February 2nd. So lets Summarize:

What is the team looking for before the trade deadline? Let’s poll the comments Hinkie made to reporters on Groundhog day:

Sam Hinkie said Sixers are looking for gifted, talented, wildly competitive players that will help team become deep contenders.

What about European sensation Dario Saric? Has Philadelphia heard from him, or someone close to him, recently?

Sam Hinkie said not more than about 48 hours go by without Sixers communicating with Dario Saric, or member of his camp. Having good season.

How is Dario Saric doing this year?

#Sixers Hinkie: 'We're in frequent contact with Dario. He's done really well this year.'

So are the Sixers shying away from a trade due to the uncertainty of what impact that might make? Is this a year where Sam Hinkie takes a hiatus, perhaps not seeking to shake up anything?
