The Sixers receive: #6, #33, #35, DJ Augustin

The Magic receive: #3, Gerald Henderson

The Orlando Magic have the 6th, 25th, 33rd, and 35th picks in the 2017 NBA Draft.

Philadelphia has already processed three potential cornerstone front-court players in Joel Embiid, Dario Saric, and Ben Simmons through the draft; although they are most interested in bringing in the best prospect available with the third pick, the Sixers may not see much more value there than only three spots lower at six. Throw in two more shots at the dartboard of a deep draft and a cap rules-matching 3pt marksmen who balances the starting unit well as a veteran presence in DJ Augustin, and the Philadelphia 76ers could be open to trading down from their pick while shedding Gerald Henderson’s salary…in the process...

Would the 76ers rather Terrence Ross, Evan Fournier, or the Magic’s 25th pick thrown in the deal? Sure, but Orlando should be able to negotiate their way down to a handful of prospects and a player who fits nicely next to Phili’s core. Orlando moves up in the draft for obvious reasons; if the new captains of the Magic’s front office crew, Jeff Weltman and John Hammond, value Josh Jackson over the field at 3, trading a contract liability and two second rounders to get “the guy” is a small price to pay for immediate satisfaction.
