The NBA draft is still a little more than a month away and anything is possible up until the Sixers make the pick at three or make a deal to try and set themselves up to be competitive for 2025-26. Philadelphia went 24-58 last season in a disastrous, injury-filled campaign.

The Philadelphia 76ers just endured several months of desperately clinging to their first-round pick. If the pick had landed outside of the top six, it would have gone to the Oklahoma City Thunder, so the 76ers spent the second half of last season tanking in an effort to keep it.

The expectation is that the Dallas Mavericks will take Cooper Flagg at No. 1 overall, while the San Antonio Spurs are a wild card at No. 2 and could either stay put or perhaps trade it for a veteran star (cough, cough, Giannis Antetokounmpo, cough).
