The Sixers’ odds of keeping their first-round pick are only increasing. Wondering what it might mean for their overall offseason outlook?
The Brooklyn Nets might be carving out a spot in post-Process lore right next to Mike Muscala.
As the injury-ravaged Sixers limp their way to the finish line of the 2024-25 season, the Nets have now won two straight games to break a tie for the NBA’s fifth-worst record. They still have games left against the tanking Toronto Raptors and New Orleans Pelicans, so it’s looking increasingly likely that the Sixers will enter lottery night with a 63.9 percent chance of keeping their top-six-protected first-round pick.
We’ll have an article out shortly about the financial implications of keeping that pick and how it could affect the Sixers’ overall offseason plans. The TL;DR version: There will be trickle-down effects that could impact their approach in free agency (particularly with Guerschon Yabusele).
As a reminder, we’ve already done deep dives into both Yabusele and Quentin Grimes’ future. With that said, we’re wondering what other big offseason questions are on your mind as the Sixers play out the string this year. They don’t even have to be Sixers-related!
Submit them in the comments below or send them over to me at btoporek.bsky.social and I’ll answer as many as I can on Thursday. In the meantime, say some prayers for a surprise New Orleans Pelicans victory tonight over the Los Angeles Clippers.
