The Philadelphia 76ers are poised to explore trade options as they hold the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NBA draft. With a disappointing 24-58 record attributed largely to injuries, the Sixers are not in full rebuild mode. Instead, they aim to rely on stars like Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey for a comeback.

One potential trade scenario involves moving down to the No. 6 pick, which would allow the Wizards, a rebuilding team, to secure a higher selection. This trade could be financially advantageous for the Sixers as it would relieve some salary cap pressure while still allowing them to acquire promising talent, such as sharpshooter Kon Knueppel from Duke, who would add depth to their roster.
