Philadelphia wants to buy a 2nd round of the Draft

According to media information PhillyVoice.comthe Philadelphia 76ers are in negotiations to buy a future second round of the next 2023 Draft, since they currently do not have any in their possession.

Manager Daryl Morey would be looking for a player for his rotation at ‘low cost’, and would have received the go-ahead from management to process said purchase. Recently the Sixers would have scheduled private training sessions with several young university students for the draw that will take place on June 22 from Brooklyn.

Harden’s future

The latest information suggested that James Harden would end up renewing with the Sixers to remain linked to the project of Joel Embiid and Daryl Morey. However, the Rockets still have their chances, since they would offer him more money and more years on his contract, according to sources close to the situation.

Rockets owner Tillman Fertitta wants to establish a winning culture under new coach Ime Udoka, and in addition to the interest in James Harden, other players have been linked to the Texan franchise, including Brook Lopez, Dillon Brooks, Fred VanVleet, Paul Reed, Jalen McDaniels, Georges Niang or Shake Milton.

Shake Milton’s future will be closely linked to Harden’s, because if ‘La Barba’ finally renews with Philadelphia, he will seek his departure to have more playing opportunities.

Last year he played 76 official games (11 as a starter) with figures of 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 20.6 minutes per day.
