The Big Three Away? Draft Experts revealed that 76ers are interested in KD Marca, George and Tanhua may both be given away

Important news suddenly broke out in the NBA draft circle. According to joint news from ESPN draft expert Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony, some teams expect the 76ers holding the signing to be actively selling the signing, trying to complete a big deal in the offseason.

, the most disappointing team this season is facing a crossroads of reconstruction and championships, and the choice is still unclear. The 76ers formed the "Big Three" of Embiid + Maxi + Paul George this season, but became a laughing stock due to injuries: the three missed a total of 134 games, and were collectively reimbursed for 13 times in just 13 games, and finally ranked last in the East with 24 wins and 58 losses. Fortunately, the 42.1% chance of winning the Tanhua lottery has become the only comfort in the dark season, and there is also a hint of light in the future.

The star Embiid is at his peak, and the 76ers management obviously is not that interested in cultivating rookies. Although the team has selected new stars such as McCain in recent years, it is more inclined to plug and play stars. Draft experts pointed out that this year's rookie, except for No. 1 Flag and No. 2 Harper, the competition for the Tanhua position is fierce, and Bailey, Edgecomb and others are at risk of losing the election, resulting in a sharp decline in the cost-effectiveness of the signing.

According to insiders, 76ers may package George + Tanhua Mark, quote Durant to the Sun, and discuss the Markkanen deal with the Jazz. The president of team operations is known for its radical operations. If the deal is made in this way, it will become one of the rare cases in the NBA history.

fans reacted from both sides. Some angrily criticized "squandering resources", while others supported "Suha's championship". But it is undeniable that this team hovers on the luxury tax line is facing the most critical fate.

In my opinion, once the 76ers choose to send George away and Tanhua, they will make another "gambler's attempt".

Since the team suffered from severe "superstar dependence" in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the team suffered from severe "superstar dependence". But Embiid has been calling for MVP for many years, but he became a "glass man" in the playoffs; George has a high salary of tens of millions, but his attendance rate is average; Maxi is an Iron Man, but his ability to lead the team is still unmatched by stars such as Harden. In this case, choose a rookie and train it slowly? The management is afraid that it is not that they are in a hurry to jump.

What's more ironic is that the 76ers' Tanhua sign is a bit "unspark". The No. 1 pick Flag was booked long ago, and the second pick Harper is also famous for having the main player. Is it the third pick? Good guy, a group of "quasi-All-Stars Alternatives" sit in a row.

Durant is very likely to leave on the Suns, and Jazz's Markanen's data is 2 well, and the 76ers seize the opportunity to "take advantage of the situation". But the question is, can George + Tanhua's bargaining chips be exchanged for Durant and Markcanen at the same time? Embiid's style of play is destined to be difficult to win the championship. The 76ers should learn from the Celtics of the past. They chose Jaylen Brown with the Tanhua lottery, but now they have become All-Stars.

76ers have been drafted over the past decade - except for Embiid in 2014, the high ranking was almost wiped out, and Okafor, Simmons and Fultz are all like this. If I want to say that this team is a "draft insulator", it's better to trade with peace of mind. If Durant really comes to form the super three giants "Maxi + Durant + Embiid" next season, the offensive ceiling is so high that it's fun, and Philadelphia fans can shout "Philadelphia Championship".
