Despite relative success after the Jimmy Butler trade, the Philadelphia 76ers remain a clear tier below Toronto, Milwaukee and Boston in the Eastern Conference. The bench is a main reason why, with several substandard players anchoring the second unit.
While the Sixers have promising young talent in Landry Shamet and Jonah Bolden, the front office needs to make changes before the postseason starts. If no trades materialize, the buyout market presents the best opportunity.
More names will join the rumor mill between now and February, but two solid players are already available (or close to being available): Patrick McCaw and Chandler Parsons.
