The Philadelphia 76ers will have plenty of options to look into during the upcoming offseason. President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey positioned the team throughout the 2023-24 season to be in the best position to land a big name to upgrade the roster around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
The Sixers can either make a big move in free agency or through a trade by absorbing a big contract without having to give up anything to match the salary. Morey is looking for a wing player who can produce on both ends of the floor to help Embiid and Maxey when the playoffs roll around, and there will be potential options out there.
Here is a ranking of the top six options that have been mentioned as a possibility for Philadelphia thus far:

Thompson still has some good moments. He shot 38.7% from deep in the 2023-24 season for the Golden State Warriors, but it’s obvious his best days are behind him.

He averaged only 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in the series sweep by the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, one has to like his potential fit next to Embiid and Maxey with the Sixers. His length and scoring ability would be a big plus to this group.

One has to believe the Brooklyn Nets will change their mind on the asking price for Bridges in the 2024 offseason. They are not in a position to win and are a fringe play-in tournament team at the moment. They also do not possess any draft picks. One has to think they will move their most prized asset. Bridges would fit like a glove in…
