The potential packages being discussed reportedly include veteran forward Paul George and the highly coveted No. 3 pick, giving the Sixers a flexible route to either go all-in for a title next season or pivot toward a more sustainable long-term vision.

The Philadelphia 76ers just endured several months of desperately clinging to their first-round pick. If the pick had landed outside of the top six, it would have gone to the Oklahoma City Thunder, so the 76ers spent the second half of last season tanking in an effort to keep it.

The 76ers could be in the market to trade the third overall pick, with an eye on potential trade targets such as Kevin Durant and Lauri Markkanen. Several teams expect the Sixers to be active in trade talks and packages could include Paul George and that prized first-round selection,
