If Phil has settled on Hezonja then they probably stick with that. I think his performances in the playoffs may have pushed him to the top. Hezonja hasn't gotten as much support as others we've argued about but outside of Russell he may be the next best offensive guard in the draft.
Philly will go with Porzingis; they need outside shooting, a big that can stretch the floor for Noel and Embiid.
highly doubt it, they traded MCW so they could reinvest in a new pg from the draft.
i don't even think that's the case. hinkie isn't a believer in PGs, if you look at his history, he's traded away all of them. i think he's looking to go BPA
There was a rumor out their that he might be willing to trade down for Russell, though.
I've heard or read that agents for guys in the draft are telling Hinkie that they don't want him to take their kids. Same is true for many free agents. Pretty sure Porzingis refused to work out for them.
Doesn't matter, though...from what I heard Curry's people were telling GS not to pick him, and we saw how that worked out.
This might be a reason why top tier FAs and future draft picks don't want to go their:

The NBPA is looking into the Sixers for any possible breach of the league’s collective bargaining agreement, sources told Shams Charania of RealGM. During a meeting on Monday, the union informed agents that it will actively investigate Philadelphia’s salary distributions, use of the cap floor, and contract format loopholes, Charania notes. For the NBPA, the Sixers’ approach over the past several seasons may not be a technical violation of collective bargaining as much as it is one of the spirit of negotiating under the CBA, adds the RealGM scribe.Over the past two seasons, Philly has compiled a 37-127 record, staying below the 90% salary floor for majority of the campaigns before making late season signings or trades to comply with the CBA rules, Charania writes. The Sixers frequently offering players four-year, non-guaranteed contracts has rubbed agents and the NBPA the wrong way, Jake Fischer of LibertyBallers tweets.
