We haven’t gotten much clarity on what the Sixers could be pursuing ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 8.
Daryl Morey has made it clear that he would like anyone he acquires to provide strong two-way play, with ball handling being a plus. That’s why when you see a name like the Hawks’ Dejounte Murray pop up, it makes a bit of sense. Murray is widely considered a top-50ish player that could complement (thanks to his improved outside shooting) Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey while ticking the boxes Morey mentioned.
Our Bryan Toporek broke down Murray’s contract and how it could make sense to make a move for the former All-Star.
