The Philadelphia 76ers lost a lot of games the last few years under former general manager Sam Hinkie, as he assembled teams with young players to help get high draft picks. Well, now that Bryan Colangelo is in charge of basketball operations, that won't happen again since he wants to win now. In fact, Colangelo may trade the Sixers' 2016 lottery pick to land a top veteran who can help the team get back into playoff contention.

"It's hard to put a number or a value on degree of aggressiveness, but we'll certainly be open for business and listening to whatever is there," Colangelo told NBA.com on Thursday at the Chicago pre-draft camp.

The NBA Lottery will be held on Tuesday, and the Los Angeles Lakers will send their pick to the Sixers if it falls out of the top three positions. The best result for Colangelo would be the Sixers winning the lottery and the Lakers' pick pushed down to the No. 4 selection. If that happens, Colangelo will have a lot of options ahead of the NBA draft on June 23.

"It really just comes from the conversation following the lottery results. That's the one thing about the lottery," Colangelo said. "Once it's completed we'll know exactly what we have. Before anything else happens, that's the first domino that's got to fall. Tuesday's a big day for us in a whole host of ways."

Currently the Sixers own their pick and Nos. 24 (from Miami) and 26 (from Oklahoma City) in the first round due to previous trades.
