NBA Rumors: 3 players that are being linked with an offseason move to the Philadelphia 76ers

After years of 'trusting the process', the Philadelphia 76ers have finally turned their attention to competing for a title. In Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, the Sixers have two of the NBA's best young talents, while J.J. Redick continues to be a solid performer at 34.

During the 18-19 season, the Sixers also acquired Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris, although Kawhi Leonard's Game 7 buzzer-beater sent the Eastern Conference favorites crashing out of the playoffs.

Both Butler and Harris will hit free agency this summer, and there are no guarantees that either player will be back. Due to this, the Sixers will be active in the offseason as they continue their push for a ring, and here are three players that the team could bring in.

#3 Danny Green

Danny Green has impressed during Toronto's run to the NBA Finals

Danny Green is currently playing in the NBA Finals with the Toronto Raptors, although he will become a free agent this summer. Green is among the NBA's better 3-and-D players, and Dan Favale of Bleacher Report believes the Sixers will be interested in signing the 31-year-old:

After the Sixers hash out the futures of their own, they're free to shop around. Danny Green's name stands out. Giving max salaries to Butler and Harris won't cost Philly access to the full MLE if it waives Jonathon Simmons ($1 million guaranteed) and renounces everyone else except for Redick - and he doesn't command a monster salary.

Hard-capping themselves incites other challenges for the Sixers—mainly rounding out the rest of the rotation on a beggar's dime. But Green is a go-hard defender and, despite his postseason cold streak, floor-spacing safety valve. Signing him helps neutralize whatever awkwardness persists within the Sixers' core should they run everyone back.

Green joined the Raptors last summer as part of the trade that sent Kawhi Leonard to Toronto. During the regular season, he averaged 10.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

#2 Malcolm Brogdon

Malcolm Brogdon played a key role as the Milwaukee Bucks reached the Eastern Conference Finals

Malcolm Brogdon will enter restricted free agency this summer, and the Milwaukee Bucks are eager to retain their starting shooting guard. However, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer believes that Brogdan will attract plenty of interest, with the Sixers likely to be among the interested teams:

The Milwaukee Bucks point guard is set to become a restricted free agent and would be a perfect fit for the Sixers. Assuming the Sixers lose JJ Redick, Butler and/or Harris, they could sign Brogdon and still have enough money to get another quality free agent. They possibly sign a proven and versatile post player to start alongside Joel Embiid at power forward and/or play center on nights the two-time All-Star will be sidelined.

During the 18-19 season, Brogdan averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game.

#1 Taurean Prince

Taurean Prince has performed well in a struggling Hawks team

The Atlanta Hawks continue to be among the NBA's worst performing teams, and the franchise is believed to be open to trading Taurean Prince this summer. Prince has emerged as a reliable performer over the past 18 months, and this season averaged 13.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 28.2 minutes per contest.

The Houston Rockets have been muted as a potential destination for Prince, although Bleacher Report believes that the Sixers are also interested:

Disposable trade assets are hard to come by in Philly. General manager Elton Brand cashed in the team's best chips for Butler and Harris, firmly affixing this offseason's action to free agency.

Spare draft picks, Jonah Bolden and Zhaire Smith are all the Sixers have to offer before triggering the ever-controversial Ben Simmons trade scenarios. Extracting an impact player without meaningful salary-matching tools is usually a fool's errand, but they can try selling the Hawks on Bolden and No. 24 (after he signs) for Taurean Prince.

At 25, Prince still has the potential to develop into one of the game's best 3-and-D players, and the forward is owed just $8 million over the next two seasons.
