Went VJ here but I could totally see PHI going off the board and grabbing Maluach or a Tre Johnson if they want to shake up

I think they could take Kon here. They aren't looking for a project. They want a win now player and Kon is the type that could even start immediately.

I think they either trade the pick or pick Ace as Paul George insurance. Though Ace is the one player I feel has a chance to drop.

I feel a trade here or a surprise pick. Usually teams don't trade down, but it would make sense for the 76ers to trade down a few spots, pick a player they like in the 5-10 range and add another vet player or two to the roster that can help right away.

I don't think Ace is a lock for the top 4 even if the 76ers keep the pick. Ace is a project and I'm not sure PHI is looking for projects right now.

Philly needs a trade for a 3/4. They got Embiid healthy and then u have Maxey and PG13 with a great bench in McCain, Grimes, Oubre, Lonnie Walker, Drummond. If they can find a way to get someone like a Aaron Gordon/Markkanen/Cam Johnson it would be perfect or just stick with drafting Ace Bailey in case they wanna trade Embiid, PG13 and they'll have a solid young core already

I look forward to seeing how Morey messes this all up despite lucking into the 3rd pick.

Trade. They need win now players as Joel and Paul do not have many (healthy) years left

Philly fans are dying for a trade down with the Pels for Murphy.

Trey Murphy put up 21 PPG on 45/36/89 splits this year with a near 60 TS% in his 24 year old season.

I wouldn't trade Murphy for #3 straight up if I was NO's. If a guy like Ace becomes a Trey Murphy type, that's a pretty good outcome for him and it's not a certainty that he will develop into that guy.

Agreed.

PHI is going to trade the Pick together with PG.

You must be lurking in the deepest darkest reddit threads because I haven't seen anyone mention that as a possibility. Not on Realgm anyway.
