That’s whyDaryl Morey will try to figure out how to improve this team into a true contender. According to Sean Deveney of heavy.com, the Sixers will try to move on Matisse Thybulle.

The report claims that the Sixers see Thybulle as one of the players who can create room for next season. Fortunately, the Chicago Bulls would be open to trading for the 2019 first-round pick.

The Sixers could look to get off Thybulle’s contract to create some wiggle room under the luxury tax, which looms large over the team’s offseason, and one team with known interest, according to league sources, is Chicago,” Deveney wrote. “Bulls GM Marc Eversley has had a fondness for Thybulle going back to early in his collegiate career at Washington, and was instrumental in pushing the Sixers to acquire him in the 2019 draft.”

It’s still too early to tell how things will unfold, but it wouldn’t be bad business for the Sixers. After all, if they want to bring in another star, they may have to make some sacrifices.
