Plus the team gets a clean first round draft pick in 2019. From that willingness to absorb expensive contracts, the Philadelphia 76ers received the draft swap rights in 2016 (expired) and 2017. And right now, it appears it may end up that way. That first round pick belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers if the pick becomes more valuable than the one held by the 76ers. Commit that four-letter word (tank) to memory, and do nothing, absolutely nothing, to jeopardize that top-10 protected first-round pick. Trade veterans for assets and to clear cap space.
