About a week into the 2023–24 NBA season, the Philadelphia 76ers made a blockbuster trade to send James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers. This led to instant rumors of another possible transfer in the works. After all, Sixers president Daryl Morey has never shied away from pursuing a high-profile transaction, and the organization acquired four players in addition to a selection swap and four draft picks who should almost all have some trade value.
NBA expert Marc Stein, the man behind The Stein Line, repeated the original hype about two names rather consistently: Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby and Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, before providing another intriguing nugget of information.
far while LaVine and Anunoby are rumbles “in circulation,” according to Stein, he wouldn’t be shocked if Morey had “even loftier secret targets,” as the insider’s X account Sixers Galaxy pointed out.
“There are already rumors circulating that the #Sixers may try to trade for players like Zach LaVine or O.G. Anunoby. However, given his past, I wouldn’t be shocked if Morey had even more ambitious covert objectives.” “Marc Stein.”
It’s difficult to argue against, and although the Sixers would benefit greatly from the signing of LaVine or Anunoby, it wouldn’t be shocking to many if the team was connected to another well-known player in the near future.
