Sixers must thread the needle as the NBA trade deadline approaches
We are approximately two weeks away from this season’s Feb. 6 trade deadline. The Sixers have been hovering around the middle of the Eastern Conference’s playoff seeds for most of the season’s first half. They appear good enough to make the postseason, and perhaps avoid the play-in tournament. But they’re certainly not the favorite to […]
