It has been almost five months since the Sixers shipped
Spencer Hawes to Cleveland, and apparently the organization is still interested
in the center.
According to ESPN's NBA Insider page, Hawes, who is currently exploring his options in free
agency, is being ‘tracked’ by his former team.
Hawes is in ‘no rush’ to make a decision according to the
story, which lists Cleveland, Houston, Portland, L.A., and Philadelphia as
potential suitors for the center.

In 53 games with the Sixers last season, Hawes averaged 13.0
points and 8.5 rebounds per game, while serving as one of the team’s top
three-point shooters.
In bringing him back, the Sixers would get themselves a
center who could spread the floor while Nerlens Noel produced in the paint.
Hawes could provide some veteran support to the Sixers’ stable of developing
bigs, which currently includes Henry Sims, who came over from Cleveland in the
Hawes trade, and an injured Embiid, in addition to Noel.
Hawes is already familiar with the Sixers’ system, and could
provide Brett Brown with some offensive flexibility, which could be helpful
considering the team’s dearth of deep threats.
The Sixers need to be shrewd in their spending, and
over-paying for the sharp-shooting center would be unwise. But with that said,
there could be benefits to bringing him back at the right price.
