Insider suggests the 76ers trade for Dario Saric

There are plenty of players that the Philadelphia could go out and get. Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report suggested that the 76ers could include Kelly Oubre in a trade to acquire former first-round pick Dario Saric.

"Saric had a disastrous 2024-25 with the Nuggets, but he's proven capable of playing 5 in recent years, has a significant advantage over Oubre in career box plus/minus and is a far better and more willing passer," Bailey wrote.

Saric, 31, played his first three seasons with the 76ers from 2016 to 2018. His tenure in Philadelphia was highlighted by a sophomore season where he averaged 14.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists.

The forward from Croatia has slowly lost playing time throughout his most recent years. Most recently averaging 3.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game for the Denver Nuggets in 2024-25.
