The 2025-26 NBA trade deadline is five months away, but it’s never too early for a team like the Philadelphia 76ers to start scanning the market. Philadelphia faces a lot of uncertainty from both a health and a roster lens. However, the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat recently completed a trade that could help the 76ers out with the latter.
Miami dealt Haywood Highsmith and a 2032 second-round pick to Brooklyn in exchange for a protected 2026 second-round pick on Friday, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. Highsmith will enter his sixth season in the NBA, having played his last four seasons with the Heat.
