NBA draft is vitally important for the Philadelphia 76ers. What will the 76ers do with the No. 3 overall pick amid swirling rumors? Philadelphia, the third-oldest team in the 2024-25 season, saw its seven-year playoff run come to an end this past season.

Here is a new 2025 mock draft for the Philadelphia 76ers including a trade down with the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Philadelphia 76ers are in a good position with the No. 3 pick in this month's NBA draft, but the team reportedly isn't satisfied.

Part of the reason why the NBA Draft is one of the most exciting events on the basketball calendar every year is the drama. The rumors and mock drafts in the weeks and months leading up to the main event create a suspenseful environment every time NBA commissioner Adam Silver takes the podium to announce the selection.

There have been rumblings abut the 76ers moving back in the 2025 NBA Draft, but what if they actually trade up?

One player linked to Philly has been Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor proposed a trade idea on his show, "The Kevin O'Connor Show," that would lead the 76ers to land the two-time champion. The trade proposal will also allow the organization to dump George and his four-year, $212 million maximum contract.
