Hawks, Magic Have Expressed Interested In Markelle Fultz

[RealGM Wiretap]

The future of Markelle Fultz with the Philadelphia 76ers remains uncertain.

Fultz is owed $9.75 million for the 19-20 season, which will be a problematic figure for the 76ers if they re-sign Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris.

"Teams like Atlanta, Orlando, they've talked to Philadelphia on Markelle Fultz," said Adrian Wojnarowski. "There's a real possibility he's played his last game with the 76ers."

There is no timetable for when Fultz will be able to play again.

Loved him pre draft; forgot he existed
Damn

Incredible how the Sixers have gone all in towards the Finals - yet have the #1 draft pick from last season just collecting dust on the shelf.

The team that is most desperate in need of the talent at the gaurd position is the Orlando Magic.

Getting Fultz will be a high risk / high reward gamble for any team given the unknowns of his physical health ( even mental health at this point given his lack of presence on the court ). But it is a gamble that you must take.

Trade deadline is going to be very interesting.

They only going trade for him if its for a low cost. Players and maybe picks.

Sixers are desperate for guards and wings now... I wonder if the Hawks could get him for Lin and Anderson? Fultz is definitely worth taking a flyer on for a low price like that. Don't know if I'd take the risk of offering anything more than that though...

Either way, I hope the kid gets healthy. He was a beast in college
