The Philadelphia 76ers will fight changes to the draft lottery system that the NBA is pushing to implement in time for next season.

Though there are several facets and the proposals haven't been finalized, essentially the goal of commissioner Adam Silver is to balance out the lottery odds so the worst team or teams wouldn't have the highest chances of landing the top pick, sources said. 

The 76ers are in a multiseason rebuilding project that is depending on a high pick next season.

The 76ers, however, may have a struggle to gain support from Silver or fellow teams on holding off the changes.

The then-New Jersey Nets picked Kyle Korver with the 51st overall selection in the 2003 NBA Draft and sold his draft rights to the Philadelphia 76ers for $125,000.

The cash covered the Nets' Summer League bill and they spent the leftover money on a new copy machine.

Korver developed into one of the NBA's most valued swingmen.

“We gave away a good player for summer league,” says Rod Thorn, the Nets GM at the time. “It was just one of those things we had to do. At least, that’s how I rationalized it.”

“The game over the last four or five years has become so much more suited to the way he plays today,” says Jerry Sloan, who coached Korver in Utah.

Multiple current GMs say passing on Korver in the draft ranks as one of the worst mistakes of their respective careers.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are interested in trading for Thaddeus Young if they eventually move forward with dealing Kevin Love.

The Wolves have held talks with the Philadelphia 76ers on Young, either as part of an expanded Love trade or a separate transaction.

Young has two seasons remaining on his deal worth a combined $19.3 million, with the second season being a player option.

Young has been the subject of trade rumors since Sam Hinkie became general manager of the 76ers last year.

Evan Turner's agent, David Falk, believes the Philadelphia 76ers didn't make an expecially strong trade in dealing his client to the Indiana Pacers.

“I don’t think it’s about expectations,” Falk said. “I think he and Jrue Holiday were terrific together. And we had asked Philadelphia his entire fourth year, repeatedly, we urged him to please not trade [Turner]. He was really having fun. He was very productive playing for Brett Brown. and it’s not like they got a lot for the trade [to Indiana].

“They got a second-round pick for he and Lavoy Allen, and had to pay off many millions of dollars to Danny Granger to make the deal. I don’t think it was exactly a blockbuster deal for Philly. The situation could have been better.”

Turner signed with the Boston Celtics this offseason.

The Houston Rockets are working towards completing a trade of Jeremy Lin in order to create cap space now that LeBron James has decided to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Rockets would like to sign Chris Bosh to a max offer sheet.

Sam Amick of USA Today reports Bosh is still weighing whether or not sign with the Rockets.

Clearing NBA free agency waivers after his release from the Toronto Raptors, Julyan Stone has started strong discussions with the Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento Kings and Milwaukee Bucks on a new deal, a league source told RealGM.

Stone, one of the tallest pure point guards at 6-foot-7, averaged one point and one rebound in 21 games for the Raptors a season ago.

Stone remains a possibility for the Raptors, a source said.

The New York Knicks have contacted the Philadelphia 76ers about a trade centered on Amar'e Stoudemire.

Phil Jackson is trying to clear this year's payroll and has looked for avenues to trade Stoudemire.

The 76ers have made it known they would be willing to accept an undesirable contract if an asset is included in the deal. Iman Shumpert is a possible part in a Stoudemire deal to the 76ers.

Pierre Jackson suffered an injury to his right Achillies on Saturday during the Philadelphia 76ers' summer league opener.

The injury is initially diagnosed as a rupture.

Jackson was traded by the New Orleans Pelicans to the 76ers on draft night.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks have expressed interest in trading for Jeremy Lin.

The Houston Rockets plan on trading away Lin in order to free up cap space.

The 76ers and Bucks would acquire Lin along with another asset such as a future first round pick. Both teams also would presumably be facilitating a player going to or staying in the Western Conference.

The Rockets are interested in Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh.

The Boston Celtics have agreed to terms on a four-year, $32 million deal with Avery Bradley, according to a source.

Bradley is a restricted free agent and was reportedly drawing interest from the Philadelphia 76ers, among others.

Bradley averaged 14.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists during an injury-plagued 2013-14 season.
