Sixers looking to add Nikola Mirotic

Cleveland Cavaliers v New Orleans Pelicans

The Philadelphia 76ers have a need to add depth ahead of the trade deadline, and Sean Deveney of Sporting News is reporting that the team has turned their attention towards the New Orleans Pelicans Nikola Mirotic:

According to a league source, one team that has expressed interest in Mirotic is the Sixers, who have been eager to land a stretch-4 after having traded away Dario Saric in the Jimmy Butler package. New Orleans is seeking a first-round pick, and the Sixers have all their own first-rounders and a Miami first-rounder in 2021, plus an enormous stash of second-rounders: three (including Chicago’s) this year, three (including New York's or Brooklyn's) next year and four in 2021.

During the 18/19 season, Mirotic has averaged 16.7 points, 8.2 rebounds in 28.9 minutes per game. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent during the 2019 offseason, so the Pelicans may be open to trading him in the coming days.
