The Philadelphia 76ers have a lot on their plate right now.
First, it was James Harden’s desire to leave and alleged severed relationship with GM Daryl Morey.
Then, Joel Embiid stirred the pot by stating that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win a championship in Philadelphia or somewhere else.
However, it seems like none of those players could be on their way out right now.
Instead, it could be P.J. Tucker as the one who could leave the City of Brotherly Love to take his talents back to the Western Conference.
According to a report by Mike Scotto of HoopsHype (Via NBA Central), the Los Angeles Clippers have engaged in trade talks centered around the power forward.
The Clippers and Sixers have discussed a PJ Tucker trade, per @MikeAScotto

Per the report, the Clippers are interested in Tucker’s positional versatility and ability to guard multiple positions and check some of the best scorers in the game.
He’s owed $11 million for the season and could make a little more in the following campaign with a player option.
Notably, the Sixers and Clippers were also reportedly engaged in talks about Harden, but it doesn’t seem like the Sixers are actually interested in moving on from the former MVP at the moment.
Needless to say, watching his teammate go could only infuriate Harden even more, especially considering he’s reportedly desperate to play for the Clippers next season as well.
But this is a business, and he has no say in where he’s traded to — or even if he’s going to be traded.
