We\u2019re exactly one week away from the first round of the 2025 NBA draft, and the slop is dropping on a daily basis at this point.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday alone, ESPN\u2019s Jonathan Givony<\/a> wrote that VJ Edgecombe appears to be \u201cthe leader in the clubhouse\u201d if the Sixers stick with the No. 3 pick rather than trading up or down, as Ace Bailey lost \u201cmomentum after refusing to visit, initially unsatisfied with his search for a proven pathway to development.\u201d Meanwhile, longtime NBA insider Jake Fischer wrote at The Stein Line<\/a> that the Sixers and Charlotte Hornets \u201chave signaled to rival teams that they will listen to trade offers until they\u2019re on the clock at No. 3 and No. 4.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things tend to move fast at this time of year\u2014who saw that Desmond Bane trade coming on Sunday?!\u2014which is why I\u2019m running out one final offseason mailbag before the draft next week. This will be your final chance to ask me any burning questions about the draft, free agency or trade options before the festivities begin.<\/p>\n

Drop them in the comments section below or send them over on Bluesky (@btoporek.bsky.social<\/a>) and I\u2019ll answer as many as I can on Thursday. In the meantime, rest up while you can! We\u2019re in for a busy next few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re exactly one week away from the first round of the 2025 NBA draft, and the slop is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2810,100,7,2809,98,28,4726,99,2805,6,12,3160,1999,96,64,63,4900,168],"class_list":{"0":"post-107353","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba-draft","8":"tag-76ers-discussion-threads","9":"tag-ballers","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-category-community-comments","12":"tag-draft","13":"tag-front-page","14":"tag-go","15":"tag-liberty","16":"tag-mailbag","17":"tag-nba","18":"tag-nba-draft","19":"tag-offseason","20":"tag-one","21":"tag-sixers","22":"tag-the","23":"tag-to","24":"tag-until","25":"tag-week"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114704772463770359","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
