After trading the star guard, James Harden, to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Philadelphia 76ers are looking to trade for a superstar. In a massive trade haul for Harden, the Sixers have received two first-round draft picks in return, which they could utilize to trade for a star. Here are the 3-star players the Sixers could eye for!
3 Stars the Sixers Could Trade For to Become Championship Contenders
The Philadelphia 76ers to Land Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are likely to make a bold move this season. They currently have a 50% win-loss rate, and if they don’t improve this season, they are likely to move Zach LaVine, as per rumors.
The Bulls already have LaVine’s replacement, Tyrese Maxey, who has the potential to become a star. The Chicago could use Maxey as their primary guard, letting them move LaVine.
If Zach LaVine is on the trading block, the Sixers could trade for the Bulls’ star. Philadelphia needs a playmaker, and LaVine is a perfect fit for them.
The Philadelphia Sixers to Acquire Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets
Another player that the Sixers could trade for is Mikal Bridges. While Bridges is not frequently linked or rumored to the Sixers, it still makes sense for the 76ers to trade for the Brooklyn Nets’ shooting guard.

The Nets would consider moving their small forward if they get a good return in exchange. Bridges would be an ideal addition to the Sixers, apart from Zach LaVine and Pascal Siakam.
The Sixers to Trade for Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors
Another star the Sixers could trade for is Pascal Siakam. The big man is a close friend of Joel Embiid, and if these two bigs are combined, they spacer the floor well.
Additionally, both of them are great shooters, which is suitable for the Sixers. However, not both of them are superior in terms of shooting or spacing. But when paired, they both can form a deadly combination to assist the Sixers in contending for the title.
