Philadelphia 76ers have been wheeling and dealing anything and everything over the past few seasons. Whether they trade away talent to get more picks or they deal picks to get more picks, they’re always up to some sort of deals. Whether good or bad, Sixers GM Sam Hinkie is the man with the plan in Philadelphia and fans patiently wait to see if it works out.
It now appears that something may have gone awry in the process of their rebuild and the team may have committed a violation.
Following from Shams Charania of RealGM.
NBPA told agents in meeting Monday that it is researching Philadelphia for possible violation of collective bargaining, sources tell RealGM.

While the extent of the violation is unclear at this point, it could be any number of things the general public just doesn’t know about. The 76ers have been making deals for years now and that might be a driving force behind this investigation coming their way.
No one knows at this point whether it means a loss of any draft picks or a fine but one thing is for sure, if it involves the NBA players, their leader, Michele Roberts, will get to the bottom of it. One way or another.
