The NBA's trade deadline is February 9th.

According to Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice, teams are interested in Thybulle.

The Philadelphia 76ers were expected to be one of the top teams in the NBA, but they are currently ninth in the Eastern Conference. The Clippers have shown flashes of great basketball, but the 76ers have had stretches where they have looked poor on both offense and defense.

Some are suggesting that the team make a trade before the deadline.

His salary makes it hard for him to be moved in a trade. Harris is making $38.6 million this season and will have to pay $39.3 million in 24 years if he doesn't sign a new contract.

He hasn't been good enough for a franchise to justify his salary. In 14 games, the 30-year-old is shooting 46.2 percent from the floor and 39.7 percent from deep.

The Philadelphia 76ers won't trade their superstars for someone else. They signed P.J. Tucker to a three-year, $33 million contract in July.

That doesn't mean the 76ers don't have a lot of assets that could return an effective player, meaning that Thybulle may be Philadelphia's most significant player in trade discussions.

The defensive stalwart is playing a career-low 13.1 minutes per game and shooting a career-low 28.6 percent from the floor and 18.6 percent from deep.

He will become a restricted free agent after this season after failing to agree on a contract extension with the 76ers.

Philadelphia may need to attach other assets in order to get a bigger return on the trade. He will be an attractive piece for a team that needs perimeter defense.
