The Sixers would like to acquire a shooter via trade or free agency.

"We've been busy looking at what's available, what might be out there to help us," said Thorn. "There is no doubt that we have a big need for a shooter, and we'll be looking for that, but who knows what could happen? We will certainly keep talking to teams and looking to see where we may be able to go to try and fill that need.

"There are some interesting free agents out there and we have to look and see what we may be able to do. It's a busy time. We have to see what other teams may be willing to do and we'll have to go from there."

Philadelphia ranked 25th in three-pointers attempted last season.
