Use the No. 3 pick, or trade for a vet? What we know about the 76ers going into the draft
Briefly

The Philadelphia 76ers are at a pivotal moment as they prepare for the 2025 NBA draft with the No. 3 pick. After a disappointing 24-58 season, the team's fortunes hinge on the health of star player Joel Embiid, who recently had knee surgery, and the performance of All-Star Paul George, who struggled last season. With the injury to Boston's Jayson Tatum opening up opportunities in the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia has a chance to contend if their key players can return to form. They also face decisions about restricted free agent Quentin Grimes and unrestricted free agent Guerschon Yabusele, whose solid performance last season may attract interest from other teams.
If Philadelphia can navigate the offseason successfully, with a healthy Embiid and a rejuvenated George, they could become contenders in a wide-open Eastern Conference.
The 76ers' offseason decisions, coupled with the No. 3 draft pick, will shape the team's direction and potential as they aim for a championship.
