The Raptors have also engaged the Sixers in conversations centered on Bargnani, sources said. No word on what the Sixers would need to offer in return, although a Western Conference executive suspects it would involve center Spencer Hawes. FOXSports Ohio

Websites have speculated about a possible trade that would send Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes to Atlanta for soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Josh Smith, but such a deal would not interest the 76ers, according to two league sources with knowledge of the situation. "Why would the Sixers be interested in making a deal for a player who can walk at the end of the season and leave them holding nothing but the bag?" one source said. "I don't see where that makes sense for them." Philadelphia Inquirer

The still shot's obviously goofy and great, but I wish we could see more of Hawes in motion — there's a brief (unfortunately not-playing-nice-with-our-publishing-system) clip of him exiting the practice gym, and he looks like he's handling it pretty well, so I'd love to see him tooling around a bit more. The better he gets at it, the more likely he is to spread the green-transportation gospel to his teammates; we've already know he's gone out on a Segway tour with Evan Turner, and we already know the Sixers' front office is looking for every possible way to reduce the stress on Andrew Bynum's haunted legs. Just a bit more Hawes evangelizing and Philly'll be rolling around like Team USA in Barcelona. Well, a version of Team USA that is eight games under .500 and has lost eight of its last 10, but still.

The Maloof family said Monday that it has agreed to sell the Sacramento Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen. The deal awaits approval from the NBA board of governors. Sixers forward Spencer Hawes is from Seattle but played his first three seasons in Sacramento. Hawes said he was a Seattle SuperSonics fan while growing up. "It's exciting being from Seattle, but it's sad having played in Sacramento and knowing all the great fans there, so it kind of feels weird," Hawes said. Philadelphia Inquirer

(Lavoy) Allen, who became a starter in last year’s playoffs, heard his coach’s plan to start Brown and Spencer Hawes in the frontcourt, but he isn’t worried. “It doesn’t bother me,” Allen said while at an appearance for a basketball showcase at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in South Jersey on Saturday afternoon. “You never know what can happen once training camp rolls around. You don’t know who’s going to do what. Coach says that now, but you never know what he’s thinking. He switched the lineup many times last year.” CSNPhilly.com
