Multiple outlets cite Jake Fischer reporting persistent buzz that Philadelphia is exploring salary-dump deals for Drummond and Oubre to help fund a new contract for restricted free agent Quentin Grimes. Both veterans exercised 2025-26 player options (Drummond $5 million, Oubre $8.4 million) and are on expiring deals, which could facilitate cap-clearing trades. Brooklyn has been flagged by cap analysts and Nets-focused reporting as a potential landing spot for Drummond, with the Nets holding the league’s remaining cap space. Grimes averaged about 21.9 points with the Sixers after a February move and still has an $8.7 million qualifying offer he can accept by Oct. 1 if a longer deal is not reached. Joel Embiid and Paul George had offseason surgeries and Embiid’s availability for the start of camp remains unconfirmed, increasing attention on younger guards working through the offseason.
