The 2024 NBA Trade Deadline is just two days away now, and with the evolving situation surrounding Joel Embiid’s injury, Philadelphia 76ers fans are left waiting to see if the front office plans to shake things up before Thursday afternoon’s cutoff.
In a recent article by Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer, it is reported that not only are the Sixers exploring their options with a number of teams, but also that they have a few targets in mind. One of those targets is Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield.
Hield’s $18.5 million dollar salary would be a match for several of the Sixers’ expiring contracts, and his expiring deal wouldn’t add future financial burden onto Philadelphia’s clean cap sheet for this offseason, as the Sixers have left rival teams with the impression they are still wary of taking back longterm salary at this juncture.
