Philadelphia 76ers defensive dynamo Matisse Thybulle’s name came up from two different reporters this week, both attaching him to trade rumors.
First, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the Sixers are shopping Thybulle, as well as a host of other players, in order to improve their championship chances for next season:
The 76ers are trying to put things in place ahead of the June 23 NBA draft and free agency. Multiple league sources have said the team is gauging team’s interest in Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz and Shake Milton, in addition to potential trade partners for Danny Green and the No. 23 pick.
That was followed up by Fischer reporting the same just days later, stating that the 76ers are exploring various options for the two-time All-Defensive Team selection.
With how Thybulle’s season ended this year, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Philadelphia is doing at least its due diligence with regards to the Australian swingman, as he was majorly disappointing in the playoffs.
