Philadelphia 76ers Trade Rumours: 3 players that could leave the Sixers ahead of the trade deadline

#1 Markelle Fultz

Towards the end of 2018, reports surfaced that the Sixers organization were finished with Markelle Fultz and would look to trade him away in 2019. While these reports have yet to be confirmed, it seems obvious that Fultz has no future in Philadelphia, and the team will instead move forward with the trio of Butler, Embiid, and Simmons.

Fultz remains injured for an unknown period of time due to a nerve condition, although ESPN has reported that the Atlanta Hawks have asked the Sixers to include the point guard in trade discussions for Dewayne Dedmon:

But in order to get him, the 76ers would likely have to do something they have so far been resistant to, per sources: trading former No. 1 overall pick Markelle Fultz.

While Fultz has been underwhelming during his spell in Philadelphia, the Sixers won't be willing to trade him away for little in return. Ultimately, Fultz is likely to be part of a bigger trade, although it remains to be seen if the Sixers will execute such a move ahead of the deadline.
