Sixers, Jazz Express Interest In Nikola Mirotic

[RealGM Wiretap]

Nikola Mirotic is drawing attention from the Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz in a potential deal.

The Pelicans are looking for a first-round pick in return for Mirotic.

The Sixers are looking for a stretch-4 to replace Dario Saric. The Jazz, also interested in Mirotic's perimeter ability, may also ship out Derrick Favors in a potential deal.

If the Sixers get Nikola Mirotic, it's fair to say that they become the favorite to win the East, and even win it all. But I don't think Niko likes Butler too much, though. I would be interesting to see how this works out.

GS will continue being the favorites unless they lose one of their superstars.

Hard to say Mirotic moves the needle that much for the Sixers. Yes, they need depth at the wing and he may be an upgrade over Chandler (but not the most recent version of Chandler). Mr. James Jammer may be right that past tensions between the two individuals prevents cohesion.

Not worth a first... that is too valuable to give up for Nikola. But should try to do a deal if possible

Not sure if the Jazz make any moves, but the rumored interest in Mirotic and Conley would add two solid players to an already good team.

Mirotic spaced the floor better for Gobert and Conley would be a significant upgrade on both ends over Rubio.

Not a Utah fan by any means but I’d appreciate these additions.
