Overview

• Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly given 'no consideration' to trading the No. 3 draft pick and Paul George for veteran stars, according to a league source.
• Speculation from rival teams suggested potential trades for players such as Kevin Durant or Lauri Markkanen, but the Sixers appear focused on youth development.
• The Sixers aim to add a high-upside prospect to their core of young players, including Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, and Quentin Grimes.
• Top prospects under consideration for the No. 3 pick include Ace Bailey, V. J. Edgecombe, Tre Johnson, and Kon Knueppel, though no clear favorite has emerged.
• Philadelphia's front office, led by Daryl Morey, holds a valuable draft position and could explore trade-down options to accumulate additional assets.
