#53 to Philly for 2m

The balance of power has shifted east

Championship?

Time to update those title odds, Vegas.

Nice. We are officially on draft day.

Who could Philly be targeting here? I'm saying Luka Garza as they need additional center depth with Embiid's injury history, but this could be

Pels are making moves.

How about Jay Huff?

Philly paid $2M per Shams

I wonder if fake "Mega-Trade" threads will trend. Not sure my heart can take it.

Philly had 3.6m left to spend; interesting to see if they then spend the remaining 1.6m... which should get what, pick 57?

More likely is used to move up.

#50, #53 and 1.6m cash for #38.

Chicago gets 2 picks and some $$; Philly consolidates?

2M is a lot for 53.

It's actually not. The last pick traded for just cash was in 2019 and it was pick #58 traded for.....$2M

Is that this year money for trade or for the upcoming season ? If it’s for this year good for philly . Their ownership is willing to spend.

New Orleans has multiple second round picks and was expected to sell at least one. Selling pre draft seems offbeat because a bit of flexibility in dealmaking has already been surrendered before the draft has even started.
