76ers Eyeing Donovan Mitchell, Bogdanovic, Zach LaVine, OG Anonoby for Potential Trades Following Harden Departure
76ers aim to fill James Harden void with top players like Donovan Mitchell, Zach LaVine, Bogdanovic, and OG Anunoby; LaVine seen as a strong fit but would require Chicago Bulls overhaul, while Mitchell's trade this season hinges on the Cavaliers' performance.
- The Philadelphia 76ers are considering Donovan Mitchell, Zach LaVine, Bojan Bogdanović, and OG Anunoby as trade targets to fill the gap left by James Harden's transfer to the Los Angeles Clippers.
- Donovan Mitchell's trade is unlikely this season unless the Cavaliers' performance declines significantly, given he led the team to their first playoffs without LeBron James in two decades.
- An underperforming Chicago Bulls would likely make Zach LaVine more available for trade; he is seen as a strong backcourt fit for the 76ers alongside emerging star Tyrese Maxey.
- Bojan Bogdanović, currently recovering from calf injury, is a potential short-term trade target for the 76ers who could be acquired using expiring contracts without substantial impact on the team's free agency plans for next summer.
- The 76ers could consider dealing OG Anunoby, who has been linked to the team, only if the Toronto Raptors fall out of the playoff contention.
