The Sixers will not be sellers at the trade deadline.

"The financial does not come into play," Ed Stefanski said Tuesday. "We're looking for value basketball-wise. We're not looking at trying to help us financially."

Many believe the Sixers should sell off their pieces and rebuild, but Stefanski is not of that mind.

"There are a lot of things you have to think about when you begin dismantling a team like that," Stefanski said. "And you're not always guaranteed that when you dismantle that team and draft at a certain spot, that the player you want is going to be there.

"And the year that you may have that cap space, [there's no guarantee] that the player is going to be there that's going to help that team. There's a lot of questions either way."
