History suggests the team will seek reinforcements.  The team signed multiple players heading into this season. If two or more cannot step up in time for the NBA season, does the team tap other NBA teams rich at the point guard spot?

In the past, the Philadelphia 76ers had been linked to the Phoenix Suns’ Brandon Knight, or more recently to the Golden State Warriors Shaun Livingston.

Until now, its suspected that it’s the 76ers hesitation to part ways with any of their centers before Christmas to ensure the team has confirmed the healthy status of the two remaining with the team.  But if the team continues to receive bad news at that point guard position, will they pull the trigger on a trade to reinforce the very important back court?
