The Eastern Conference is expected to be wide open next season, but a Sixers roster without a healthy Embiid can’t contend for a championship.

There is no mystery of who will go No. 1 in the 2025 NBA Draft. Duke forward Cooper Flagg is a lock to become a member of the Dallas Mavericks later in June. There's also a consensus that the No. 2 prospect in the draft class is Rutgers guard Dylan Harper, who is separating himself from the pack.

Here is a new 2025 mock draft for the Philadelphia 76ers including a trade down with the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Philadelphia 76ers are in a good position with the No. 3 pick in this month's NBA draft, but the team reportedly isn't satisfied.

One player linked to Philly has been Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor proposed a trade idea on his show, "The Kevin O'Connor Show," that would lead the 76ers to land the two-time champion. The trade proposal will also allow the organization to dump George and his four-year, $212 million maximum contract.
