Philadelphia 76ers Evaluate Trade Options Amid Struggles

The Philadelphia 76ers, currently struggling with a 7-15 record and sitting at the No. 12 seed in the Eastern Conference, are looking to make trades but face challenges due to the ineligibility of key players like KJ Martin and Kelly Oubre until January 15. KJ Martin's two-year, $16 million contract was designed to provide the team with flexibility in trade discussions, though the Sixers may opt to keep him depending on their season performance. Guerschon Yabusele, who has been performing well, is considered untouchable in trade talks as the team values his contributions. The Wizards, on the other hand, are struggling even more with a 2-18 record, and their star player Kyle Kuzma is having an underwhelming season, prompting discussions about trading him to salvage value. Both teams are navigating the complexities of the trade market as they aim to improve their rosters amid disappointing starts to the season.
