According to insider information, the 76ers are preparing for a possible blockbuster trade……

Armed with an airy pocket this offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers have a multitude of options with regard to maximizing their cap space and other assets. At this point, a massive roster turnover should be well on its way, especially given the way the team has been repeatedly linked to multiple names over the last few weeks or so.

Having said that, while the 76ers would welcome the opportunity to sign or trade for a big name to give them that much-desired third star next to Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, it seems like the front office is also eyeing to be ultra-creative with their spending power this summer.

Given the frequency of their rumored linkages to high-end stars, it would seem like the 76ers would be treating the offseason as an [insert All-Star] or bust thing. But apparently, Philly is aiming to leverage their cap space should they fail to land a hot commodity.

According to Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer, the 76ers could also plan to take a similar route to what Indiana did last summer when they overpaid for Bruce Brown on a short-term deal and used that to facilitate an eventual trade for Pascal Siakam — a major move that catapulted them into an Eastern Conference Finals berth this season.
