The threat of the repeater tax could affect how the Sixers approach the trade deadline

There’s less than a month until the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline, yet we’ve learned almost nothing meaningful about the Sixers this season thanks to injuries.

Joel Embiid is still #good at basketball. De’Anthony Melton was one of the best under-the-radar moves of the offseason. James Harden may or may not be the right long-term answer alongside Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. P.J. Tucker will hit a shot eventually… right?

The Sixers’ plethora of unanswered questions will make it difficult for them to know which upgrades to target at the trade deadline. The looming threat of the repeater tax could also influence their approach.
