The 76ers are involved in multiple trade talks, according to Yahoo Sports.

The Sixers could be included in the deal that would send Kevin Garnett back to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Right now, the Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder are in serious decussions to make a deal before Thursday's 3 p.m. trade deadline. Brooklyn would send center Brook Lopez to the Thunder for a deal that would include Thunder guard Reggie Jackson. According to Yahoo, the Sixers, who have a roster spot available, are interested in acquiring Chase Budinger from the Timberwolves in exchange for draft consideration. The Sixers would buy out the forward's deal, allowing him to become a free agent.

The Nets would receive Timberwolves power forward Thad Young in exchange for Garnett, who started his career in Minnesota.
