The start of NBA free agency is almost here, and there’s going to be a rapid increase in all trade and contract buzz as it approaches.

Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer released a bunch of intel in his latest free agency piece, and included some notes on the Sixers.
One unsurprising detail from Fischer is that the Sixers are still being mentioned as the leader to acquire Tucker, which is in line with everything we’ve been hearing over the last few days.
