As the Philadelphia 76ers continue to navigate through the 2025-26 season, there will be decisions that President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey will have to make in an effort to improve the team and take steps forward in the East. He has never been afraid to pull the trigger on a move whether it be in free agency or on the trade market.
Morey has put together a terrific roster on paper. The trio of Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George should be enough to make the Sixers a serious contender in the East–barring health, of course. With those three leading the way, Morey will then look to put the right pieces around them in order to get over the mountain in the East.

For Morey, he now has four new trade chips after the Dec. 15 deadline, plus one more coming in January. Here are the four eligible to be traded now and the fifth who will become eligible in the future, but with a catch:
