Bryan Toperek from Forbes, Bleacher Report and the NBA Podcast returns to discuss the draft including our reactions to the Russell Westbrook trade, how it could effect a potential Bradley Beal trade and the Sixers selections of Jaden Springer, Filip Petrušev, Charles Bassey and undrafted free agent Aaron Henry. We also discussed Ben Simmons still being a Sixer and whether we think he could start the season on the team due to the lack of interest from around the league and the reported underwhelming returns. Next Bryan explained why a Kyle Lowry sign and trade to the Sixers is highly unlikely due to salary cap rules which could lead the Sixers to looking elsewhere for a veteran point guard. Lastly we discussed a few different targets that the Sixers could go after in trades and free agency.
