Philadelphia 76ers Trade Rumors: 3 things to expect from the Sixers ahead of the trade deadline

#2 No buyers for Markelle Fultz

New Orleans Pelicans v Philadelphia 76ers

The Sixers took Markelle Fultz with the first overall pick of the 2017 draft, and the franchise expected him to become the team's third star alongside fellow youngsters Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. While Embiid and Simmons have lived up to the hype, injuries have so far limited Fultz to less than 40 appearances in a Philadelphia uniform.

Reports emerged back in December that the Sixers were desperate to trade the point guard away, however, the 20-year-old's value is currently at an all-time low, and the Sixers are not going to be willing to trade away the point guard for virtually nothing in return.

This means that Fultz will most likely continue to recover from his injury as a member of the Sixers, however, even if Fultz returns from injury this season, he is unlikely to play a major role on the court.
