Sources say that Atlanta has joined Sacramento as a confirmed suitor for Philadelphia’s Matisse Thybulle. I don’t know that the Hawks will be the ultimate landing spot, but I’ve been advised that the prospect of Thybulle getting traded before Thursday’s buzzer is very real.

Matisse Thybulle has had his name pop up as the Kings and the Warriors have interest in the defensive stud. He addressed those reports on Wednesday. #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2023/02/01/six… via @SixersWire – 11:45 PM

Matisse Thybulle on trade rumors:
“I let it bother me a lot in the past. I think it helps to know it’s not my first rodeo.”
He added that he “knows the ropes” at this point, and so does his family. The veteran was in good spirits after tonight’s game #Sixers – 11:35 PM

More on this storyline
Multiple NBA sources said the Golden State Warriors have had internal discussions about Thybulle and that they like him as a defensive stopper. The Sacramento Kings are also monitoring his availability. A league source said Kings coach Mike Brown is a fan of Thybulle, who would add a defensive presence to Sacramento’s starting lineup. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / February 3, 2023
On Thursday morning, Stein once again reiterated Sacramento’s interest in Thybulle in the latest episode of “This League Uncut” with Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes. While Stein re-reported Sacramento’s interest in Thybulle, he offered some skepticism about the Sixers’ interest in wanting to deal Thybulle right now as their plans are unclear. “Sacramento has their eye on him. I don’t know if there’s a deal there. It isn’t even fully clear there if Philly is going to make Thybulle available. Look, Sacramento definitely has their eye on that situation. … Thybulle is such a polarizing player. I think if we had Sixers fans dialed in here, half would say they would do anything they could to keep him in town. The other half would send him out. I’m a fan. The defense that he’s capable of — I know there’s concern about his shooting and all that — but if he’s really in play, I would imagine there would be some pretty considerable interest in him.” (Marc Stein) -via Sports Illustrated / February 3, 2023
Marc Stein: ‘Sacramento’s interest is clear. It’s been a dream for the Kings, nobody on this planet, I don’t care how optimistic they are, thought that Sacramento had a chance to go into the All-Star break with the third seed in the West after 16 straight years out of the playoffs. But we know Mike Brown loves defense, and they have a need for more defense on the perimeter. So, you know, can they pull a deal off? I don’t know. Is Thybulle someone that they’re monitoring? Very much, yes.’ -via Apple Podcasts / February 2, 2023
