Sixers fans have spent the past few weeks debating between high-end free-agent and trade targets such as Paul George, OG Anunoby, Donovan Mitchell and Jimmy Butler. When your favorite NBA team can create nearly $65 million in cap space this offseason, those types of discussions come with the territory.

But on Thursday, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports revealed the Sixers’ contingency plan in case they strike out on their top targets this offseason.
