If the 76ers don't think they can re-sign point guard Andre Miller this summer, they might look to deal him prior to the trade deadline.

Doing so would prevent Philadelphia from losing Miller without getting anything in return. General manager Ed Stefanski has been in contact with agent Andy Miller about the situation.

"I don't think we stand anywhere other than right on the fence," Andy Miller said. "We've had exploratory conversations about a possible extension. We've had conversations with [the Sixers] about what his trade value will be and we've had conversations with them about what would transpire this summer ? what their interests would be, what our interests would be.

"We've kind of run the gamut in terms of covering every possible scenario, but no scenario seems to be forging forward with any great urgency right now over the other ones."

Philadelphia is 21-22, and currently sits in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
