The Sixers are reportedly looking to move either Furkan Korkmaz or Jaden Springer in hopes of shedding luxury tax dollars. Korkmaz is fully aware of that. He just doesn’t let it consume him.
Not in the 76ers’ rotation, the guard knows he’s expendable. As a result, Korkmaz isn’t surprised that he’s constantly mentioned as someone the team can part ways with before the Feb. 9 trade deadline.
“I just let those guys handle it — my agent, my organization-wise,” he said of being in trade discussions. “Right now, I don’t think it’s going to make a lot of sense for me to say anything about it, because it’s not in my hands at some point. Korkmaz realizes the odds of him getting meaningful minutes are slim if he remains a Sixer. He didn’t play Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers or Saturday vs. the Utah Jazz. In the game before that, he played just 1 minute, 41 seconds in a lopsided loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Right now, Korkmaz is behind wings Tyrese Maxey, De’Anthony Melton, Shake Milton, Matisse Thybulle, and Danuel House Jr. on the depth chart.
