76ers positioned to strike as strange trade strategy collapses in slow motion

The Philadelphia 76ers might have just chanced upon the most optimal opportunity to snag an All-Star talent via trade. And the best part about it is it may not even prove to be a costly one to pursue if they express their interest.

After more than a year of stubborn withholding, the Utah Jazz have reportedly made All-Star forward Lauri Markkanen available for taking via trade. The Finnish forward, who had his best season two years ago, saw his production take a dip during the previous campaign, yet his team has remained stubborn about keeping him in the fold.
