The Philadelphia 76ers completed their roster by signing Olympic standout Guerschon Yabusele, but that doesn't put a trade out of question.
Philadelphia's front office could consider a final move before their championship run once the Feb. 6 trade deadline rolls around. The deal would most likely add strength to their forward room, potentially a reunion with former Sixers fan favorite Georges Niang, as suggested by Bleacher Report.
"A former fan favorite in Philly, Niang actually fits this roster now better than ever," B/R's Greg Swartz wrote. "The 6'7" power forward played in all 82 games for the Cavs last season, averaging a career-high 9.4 points while hitting 37.6 percent of his threes."
Big men Santi Aldama (Memphis Grizzlies) and Jarred Vanderbilt (Los Angeles Lakers) were the other two proposed trade candidates. It's a near consensus the 76ers' backcourt is not in need of additional help, with Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Kyle Lowry, Eric Gordon, Jared McCain, and Reggie Jackson making up the room.
The 31-year-old could provide respectable size in the Sixers' frontcourt at 6-foot-7, 230 pounds. He's not the most impressive rebounder, however, averaging 3.4 rebounds last season.
As Swartz made note of, Niang appeared in all of the Cavs' games, making it more difficult for the Sixers to pry him from Cleveland. A package centered around one of their youthful forwards and draft capital could get the job done.
Niang needed just two seasons to become a Philadelphia favorite, making a return all the more exciting.
