While the excitement of Jimmy Butler’s arrival and the rapidly-growing rapport with his Philadelphia 76ers teammates takes center stage, one other major story continues to push for headlines.

The situation with Markelle Fultz hasn’t improved over the past week or so and has gotten to the point where trade rumors are swirling at a rapid rate. One team linked as a potential landing spot for Fultz via trade is the Cleveland Cavaliers, and there’s now some extra fuel added to that fire.

According to Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders, “several teams” have reached out to the Sixers about Fultz, but the Cavaliers reportedly posed a potential deal.

“Other teams have been sniffing around the Fultz situation, with the Cleveland Cavaliers believed to have dangled a deal built around Kyle Korver and a protected draft pick.” Kyler writes. “The Cavs are just one of several teams to have reached out on Fultz, but it does not appear the 76ers are as eager to make a change as maybe Fultz’s camp may want, at least not yet.”

It’s tough to know what the Sixers would consider taking in a trade for the former No. 1 pick. They could certainly use additional outside shooting, and interest in the first-round pick may come down to just how protected it is.

If the team is truly looking to move on from Fultz, they’d surely want to do so in a way that allows them to get his $9.7 million-plus off the books next season, potentially by acquiring an expiring contract.

Korver would be a solid fit based on Philly’s current needs, and the two sides have been linked even before this. Whether or not this comes together will make for an interesting topic to monitor moving forward.
