The Philadelphia 76ers have been largely silent during the initial wave of free agency, but they are bound to be at the crux of the NBA circle not only because of the expected James Harden trade but also their reported pursuit of superstar guard Damian Lillard, who has just asked for a trade out of Portland after 11 years with the Trail Blazers.
While the Sixers are not among the preferred destinations of the seven-time All-Star with Lillard himself seemingly zeroing in on the Miami Heat, the runners-up in the recently concluded season, as his target landing spot, reports point to Philly doing their due diligence at the least with hopes of bringing him in as a potential Harden replacement.
