The Philadelphia 76ers have rejected multiple trade offers for second-year point guard Markelle Fultz, according to Candace Buckner of the Washington Post.
Markelle Fultz is away from the Sixers right now, as the former No. 1 overall pick is rehabbing from thoracic outlet syndrome.
According to people in the league, the Sixers have rejected multiple trade offers for Fultz. It’s not just that Philadelphia remains hopeful in getting Fultz on track to be a star in Philadelphia — much like prior top picks Ben Simmons and Embiid, who both missed their rookie seasons because of injuries.
The Sixers have not received trade offers with what they believe to be equal value, a telling sign that indicates how other teams in the league view Fultz and the rocky start to his career.
In 19 games this season for the Sixers, Markelle Fultz is averaging 8.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 41.9 percent from the field, 28.6 percent from beyond the arc and 56.8 percent from the free-throw line. It appears Philadelphia wants to move on from the Fultz saga which began last season. However, they aren't going to move him for scraps.
Markelle Fultz has little to zero trade value right now. Until he gets his mind and body right and proves he can shoot the ball normally, it's highly doubtful the Sixers will get a fair trade for him.
