Trade rumors: Philadelphia 76ers eye move for Bojan Bogdanovic, Buddy Hield

The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly targeting two players before the end of the ongoing transfer window.

The mid-season transfer window is coming to a close on Thursday and teams are pushing one last time to ensure that they have a strong contingent to compete for the rest of the season.

As per the latest report, the Sixers are now eager to make a move for Detroit Pistons small forward Bojan Bogdanovic and Indiana Pacers shooting guard Buddy Hield.

Transfer insider Jake Fischer, in his latest column, has talked about how the Sixers are looking for a deal in the last few days of the campaign.

“Hield’s $18.5 million dollar salary would be a match for several of the Sixers’ expiring contracts,” he wrote. “And his expiring deal wouldn’t add future financial burden onto Philadelphia’s clean cap sheet for this offseason, as the Sixers have left rival teams with the impression they are still wary of taking back long-term salary at this juncture.

“Another target for the Sixers is Pistons guard Bojan Bogdanović, sources said, who is on the books for $20 million this season, but has just $2 million guaranteed for 2024-25.”

Bogdanovic is averaging 20.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. On the other hand, Hield is averaging 12 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game for the Pacers this season.
