Report: Sixers looking to deal 2nd rounders for another 1st

By John Wetzel, Sports Talk Philly staff

With the draft now just hours away, the Sixers don't appear to be done trading. David Aldridge of TNT reported that the Sixers were offering two of their second round picks, 36 and 39, to move up into the 20s.

Bryan Colangelo has expressed interest to acquire another first rounder and the four second round picks he currently has seem like more than enough assets to get that done. Plus, it would be a very slim chance that all four of those picks make the roster if they choose to stay in their draft slots and pick.

The hope might be that a player they like falls into the 20s like Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot did last year. Or maybe they just want to make sure they get a guy they're not sure makes it to 36. Their end game might even be a higher pick. 

Whatever the case may be, it's good to see Colangelo being aggressive. The draft starts tonight at 7 PM ET and Sports Talk Philly will keep you updated on all the latest draft buzz.
