With Joel Embiid out for the foreseeable future, Olynyk could be a great depth piece at center for Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, local reports out of Utah indicate that the Jazz appear likely to trade Olynyk by Thursday:
I think there is a fairly good chance that Olynyk is going to get moved before the deadline. I’ve been told about at least four teams that have registered interest in Olynyk and heard that there could be even double that number.
The Athletic reported similarly, too:
Tony Jones: He remains a likely trade candidate, according to multiple league sources. Olynyk has registered widespread interest, particularly among likely playoff teams, because of his status as an expiring contract, but more importantly his versatility on offense.
We’ll see where Olynyk ends up but the underrated, skilled big man could help contenders out in a variety of roles.
