The Sixers will have five first-round picks and multiple pick swaps over several seasons available to trade beginning Wednesday night, the start of the 2024 draft.

The Sixers will select No. 16 on Wednesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Then, they have the 41st pick on Thursday at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios. They could also have close to $65 million available in salary-cap space when free agency begins at 6 p.m. on June 30.

But this could be a make-or-break moment for Morey, whose arrival in 2020 brought about Eastern Conference finals or bust expectations. Instead, the Sixers underachieved with three second-round exits followed by a first-round loss this season.This summer is so important because of the Sixers’ assets and Maxey having a low-salary-cap hold of $13 million.

One option for George is a sign-and-trade with the Clippers to a destination he desires. Los Angeles, which doesn’t have a first-round pick, would most likely ask for one in a package deal.via a sign-and-trade as part of their package. L.A. has expressed some interest in Harris, a soon-to-be free agent and former Clipper, according to a league source. And if George opts to become a free agent, don’t rule out Philly going after him.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could be an affordable role-playing option the Sixers would like if the shooting guard opts out of a $15.4 million deal with the Denver Nuggets. However, the Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls are also expected to go after the two-time NBA champion. So this could be an avenue for the Sixers to package the No. 16 pick for an established veteran. But there are also pros to keeping the pick. Maybe they’ll select another good NBA-ready player like when they picked Maxey at No. 21 in 2020.
