The drama of the NBA Draft every year makes it one of the premier events on the basketball calendar. The buildup to the (now) two-day event is full of rumors, mock drafts and projections on where the top prospects will be playing next season.

As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare for the 2025 NBA draft and weigh all options with the No. 3 pick, there are plenty of avenues they can go down to improve the roster. President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey is never one to shy away from making a deal that he feels will help the roster going forward.

NBA insider shuts down Herb Jones trade rumors linking Pelicans and 76ers in reported deal for No. 3 pick in 2025 NBA Draft.
