The Philadelphia 76ers are ready to begin targeting players in free agency exactly one month after it has begun.

"We have needs all around," Sam Hinkie said. "We are going to look for guys who can be a part of our future and have a chance, some guys who can grow with our team."

The 76ers are searching for a veteran backup point guard, while a perimeter shooter is another big need.

"We can be flexible," Hinkie said of free agency. "We have lots of guys that can play several different positions. . . . So we will move guys around if we find people that we think we can feel comfortable with."

The 76ers are currently below the salary cap floor.
