Details From Recent Trade Talks

For the Sacramento Kings, the 76ers have asked for Tyrese Haliburton and multiple first-round picks and from the Hawks, Philadelphia has reportedly asked for John Collins and multiple first-round picks.

The 76ers have also expressed interest in trading Tobias Harris to the Hawks in that deal. 

Sacramento has made everyone available in trade talks, but recently, The Athletic reported that the Kings do not have any plans to move on from De’Aaron Fox or Tyrese Haliburton at the trade deadline, putting a potential trade for Ben Simmons over the next few weeks in major doubt. 

Charania also wrote that the 76ers have discussed deals around players like Pacers’ Domantas Sabonis and Raptors’ Pascal Siakam, but it is said that they have not felt like either of these two All-Stars are championship-altering fits on their roster next to Joel Embiid in the frontcourt.
