Overview

• The franchise has engaged the Spurs about swapping its No. 3 pick and other assets for the No. 2 selection.
• Rutgers guard Dylan Harper is the target at No. 2 for his playmaking ability and fit alongside Tyrese Maxey.
• If they stay at No. 3, the Sixers are weighing Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe and Rutgers forward Ace Bailey as top prospects.
• A realistic trade package could include the No. 3 pick, a second-rounder at No. 35 and a future first-round pick.
• Moving up one spot could push Philadelphia toward salary-cap aprons and complicate its free-agency plans.
