SB Nation on MSNHow the player-option deadline could affect the Sixers’ 2025 NBA draft plansIf the Sixers are thinking of trading the No. 3 overall pick, the player-option deadline could complicate those plans.
“Personally if I’m Philadelphia, I’d be very very open to trading down. I’ve heard the Pelicans at No. 7 like Ace Bailey. Joe Dumars there sounds like he really likes Ace Bailey, could try to trade up to No. 3 to Philly or No. 4 with Charlotte,” said O’Connor around the 5:37 mark of the show.
