76ers trade rumors: Toronto Raptors forward Andrea Bargnani interests Philadelphia

The Philadelphia 76ers are rumored to be interested in Toronto Raptors forward -- and former No. 1 overall pick -- Andrea Bargnani in a swap for Spencer Hawes, per Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio. The Chicago Bulls and Charlotte Bobcats have also expressed interest in the Italian forward.

Bargnani has fallen out of favor in Toronto, but is still owed roughly $22 million after this season. His scoring numbers have dipped to 14.8 points per game -- his lowest since the 2007-08 season -- below his 15.4 point career mark. Of bigger concern is his shooting percentages that have dipped to 40.9 percent -- well below his career numbers of 43 percent.

Another area of concern is that the seven-footer does not rebound well, either. Bargnani averages just 4.9 rebounds during his career and those numbers are down to 3.9 boards this season. Perhaps a change of scenery would be good for Bargnani because the money is not matching the production in Toronto.

Hawes is owed an additional $6.5 million for the 2013-14 season and is averaging 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds this season for the 76ers.
