The Philadelphia 76ers experienced quite the major shuffle this offseason. After a mass exodus of their own free agents, Daryl Morey and the entire front office pivoted to the best options they could find on the market, starting with Paul George, a nine-time All-Star who stands to drastically raise the team's ceiling as a title contender.

By all shots, though, the 76ers are extremely unlikely to end the season with the same personnel they will be starting it with. There's a ton of urgency for the club to snap a long championship drought, and you can bet on Philly's brass to get aggressive on the trade market. How will they thrive as a prospective seller, though? Here is a definitive ranking of each player on the roster by their trade value.

13. Reggie Jackson

While the 13-year veteran definitely showed that he still has something left in the tank with his passable play as the nominal sixth man for a title contender, Reggie Jackson is unlikely to garner much traction as a trade chip should the 76ers throw the bait. At this point in his career, he's simply much better off as depth insurance at guard with his rim penetration and streaky shooting.

12. KJ Martin

Philadelphia puzzlingly inked KJ Martin to a two-year deal worth $8 million annually this offseason, hoping to maximize him as a salary-matcher for when the team inevitably dangles him in the trade market. His value as a player isn't high at present, but there's perhaps a functional lever to pull with his athleticism, independent of his status as a salary attachment.

11. Eric Gordon

Similar to Jackson, Eric Gordon remained a useful role player for the Phoenix Suns last season, but he's now a shell of his former self. The former Sixth Man of the Year can still hoist up shots from anywhere, but hoisting and hitting are two, different things, and the 35-year-old's prowess at draining them has declined more than you think.
