If the 76ers are unable to re-sign point guard Andre Miller, they could pursue Ronnie Price.

Price, a veteran who spent the last two seasons with the Jazz, would share time at point guard with rookie Jrue Holiday and combo guard Lou Williams.

The first day of free agency is Wednesday, and the 76ers are focused on re-signing point guard Andre Miller.

Miller, an unrestricted free agent, averaged 16.3 points and 6.5 assists for Philadelphia last season.

"He's the main free agent, an important free agent," said Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski. "Neither of us is going to be at each other's doorstep at 12:01 a.m., but we will talk on July 1. There's no doubt."

Andy Miller, the guard's agent, has said that his client's preference is to remain with the 76ers.

76ers general manager Ed Stefanski has denied a rumor that the team could trade Elton Brand to the Heat.

The rumor, which was printed in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, was apparently build around the fact that Miami signed Brand to an offer sheet a few years ago.

The "rumored" deal had Philadelphia shipping Brand to the Heat for Jermaine O'Neal and Daequan Cook.

"Absolutely not," Stefanski said of any talks between the two clubs.

According to a Twitter post from Ric Bucher, Portland has interest in both Andre Miller and Hedo Turkoglu.

In order to acquire Miller, the Blazers would likely have to complete a sign and trade transaction.  

But if Portland secures Turkoglu, it would likely be a free agent signing.

A source has confirmed that Dionte Christmas has accepted an offer to join the summer league team of the 76ers.

Christmas, who wasn't drafted on Thursday night, will join Jrue Holiday, Marreese Speights and three other representatives on the team's summer league roster.

Sixers team president Ed Stefanski is denying reports that he is shopping forward Elton Brand.

"I've said over and over since I've been here, any player is tradable in the NBA," Stefanski said. "If anybody wants to make an offer, you have to listen. Am I calling other teams and shopping Elton Brand? Absolutely not. I've had people inquire about him."

Brand is entering the second year of a five-year, $82 million contract with Philadelphia.

A league source confirmed to the Philadelphia Inquirer that the 76ers have shopped forward Elton Brand.

However, it is unlikely that the Sixers will be able to trade Brand because of the sizable contract he signed last summer and his recent injury history.

Brand has four years and $65 million left on his deal.

Philadelphia general manager Ed Stefanski is also looking at a possible move involving the 17th overall pick.

"We're exploring moving up and moving back," Stefanski said, adding that "unless the demands get less, we won't be doing that."

The Sixers are discussing a deal with Charlotte in which  Samuel Dalembert and the 17th overall pick in the Thursday's draft is exchanged for Vladimir Radmanovic, Nazr Mohammad, and the 12th pick in the draft.

The Bobcats would save approximately $2 million in the trade.

The 76ers don't have a point guard under contract, but Eric Maynor and Ty Lawson could be available in the middle of the first round.

Philadelphia general manager Ed Stefanski has made it known that he'll use the team's first-round pick, 17th overall, on a guard.

Incumbent starter Andre Miller will be a free agent this summer, and is expected to drew numerous offers on the market.

The 76ers worked out center B.J. Mullens and guard Ryan Ayers on Sunday morning.

Philadelphia has the 17th overall pick in Thursday's NBA Draft.

The Sixers are expected to select a guard with the pick. They only have two guards under contract, and their workout with Mullens is rumored to be solely a part of a long-standing commitment.
