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

#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.
