Sixers Forward Reaches Key Date Ahead of NBA Trade Deadline

With around three weeks to go until the trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in an interesting position. Throughout his career as an executive, Daryl Morey has rarely sat on his hands when it comes to making mid-season season changes. However, with the Sixers currently outside the playoff picture, there is no telling what he will do between now and February 6th.

Looking at the roster, the Sixers don’t have many options when it comes to trade chips. Dating back to the offseason, one player most expected to be dealt is forward KJ Martin. Morey inked him to a decent size contract that could easily be moveable to make upgrades at the deadline.

In the NBA, teams have to wait a certain amount of days after a signing before the player can be aggregated in a trade. This date is typically December 15th, but since Martin was signed later in the summer, it extended the timeline. That said, he officially became trade eligible earlier this week.
