The Eastern Conference is expected to be wide open next season, but a Sixers roster without a healthy Embiid can’t contend for a championship.

This week, the San Antonio Spurs suddenly became a team to watch for the Philadelphia 76ers. As Daryl Morey and his front office try to figure out the best move

As Philadelphia moves forward, it will have to decide what the best route is. The Sixers could go with Bailey at No. 3, they can trade down, or they could even trade up. Harper is projected to go No. 2 to the San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia reportedly has engaged with the Spurs about moving up to No. 2.

A source confirmed that the Sixers engaged the Spurs about attaining the second pick. This comes after league executives told The Inquirer they expect the team to be involved in pre-draft trade talks.

The Philadelphia 76ers may be looking to swap spots with the San Antonio Spurs in the 2025 NBA Draft. Philadelphia is scheduled to pick third overall in the proceedings, San Antonio second after both got fortunate bounces in the Draft Lottery in May.

In the latest mock draft projections, the Philadelphia 76ers trade down to select Kon Knueppel with the No. 6 overall pick.

A day after reports strongly linked the Sixers to VJ Edgecombe, another says the team has engaged with the Spurs for the No. 2 overall pick and Dylan Harper.

As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare for the 2025 NBA draft and weigh all options with the No. 3 pick, there are plenty of avenues they can go down to improve the roster. President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey is never one to shy away from making a deal that he feels will help the roster going forward.
