1. Philadelphia 76ers

What they could offer: 21st pick, four second-rounders, Josh Richardson, Mike Scott, Zhaire Smith.

The Sixers are an intriguing team, and while there haven’t been any concrete rumors of them wanting to move up, they certainly make sense as a target to do so. With a new coach and President (Doc Rivers, Daryl Morey), the team could look largely different than they did last year.

They have young guys with potential, veteran role players and two bonafide stars, all of which should interest the Hawks.

Moving from six to 21 isn’t a bad thing at all in this deep draft class, especially if you get a stud like Josh Richardson in return.

If (and I do mean if) the team is looking to trade either Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid, the Hawks should be first on the phone. They have the assets to pull off such a move and either of those two would instantly make them legit contenders in the Eastern Conference.

Something to watch.
