In fact they were the two players that Philly brought back for second workout and while Knox is struggling early based on his skill set as a outside scorer he would of fit in great with Embiid and Simmons. I think it was possible- anything is- but not probable. Even the article you provided said: Bridges is the Sixers' top target if they remain at No. 10. Knox and former Kentucky teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are high on their wish list if Bridges is off the board, according to sources. Heading into this past offseason it was clear that the Sixers had shifted from a player development phase to win-now mode: 1.) They had traded away a top 2-5 pick in the 2019 draft and their own lottery pick in 2017, just to acquire Markelle Fultz who they thought would help them immediately. 2.) They moved compelling young talent off the bench like Justin Anderson, TLC and Richard Holmes in lieu of veteran play. 3.) They put an emphasis on maximizing their cap space to pursue guys like Paul George and LeBron James; while targeting Kawhi Leonard via trade.
