Report: Warriors, Kings interested in 76ers' Thybulle

The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings are interested in trading for Philadelphia 76ers wing Matisse Thybulle, sources told The Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey.

Golden State likes Thybulle as a defensive stopper, while Sacramento head coach Mike Brown is a fan of the 25-year-old forward, Pompey reports.

The 76ers want to move some salary to drop below the league's $150.3-million threshold. Thybulle is in the final season of his rookie contract, earning $4.3 million. Other reported trade candidates include Furkan Korkmaz and Jaden Springer, who make more than the $1.1 million Philadelphia needs to shed.

Thybulle, a defensive-minded wing, was almost shipped out during June's draft to the Portland Trail Blazers in a three-team trade that would've brought Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon to Philadelphia, Pompey adds.

Thybulle is averaging career lows across the board, recording 2.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, and just under a steal in 12.1 minutes per game this season.

The trade deadline is Feb. 9.
