Best Case: Andrew Bynum returns, no moves made.
Worst Case: Evan Turner dealt.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in wait-and-see mode all season long, anxiously awaiting the return of center Andrew Bynum. However, Bynum's return date is still very much up in the air.
Another uncertainty surrounding the Sixers appears to be future of former No. 2 overall pick, Evan Turner.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Sixers have been working the phones, exploring possible deals for Turner:
The Sixers, sources say, are open to a shakeup as they continue to wait for the return of Andrew Bynum to give All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday some badly needed help. And I'm told Philly, as such, is shopping (or at least making calls to gauge the value of) swingman Evan Turner.
Now, while Turner has not lived up to the standards typically set for No. 2 overall picks, he's shown gradual improvement over his first three seasons.
The problem with Turner is that he's easily discouraged, and he is more susceptible than most to falling into big slumps.
Ultimately, dealing Turner would feel like a premature move, as we've yet to see what the core of Jrue Holiday, Turner, Thaddeus Young and Bynum are capable of.
