If the second<\/em> time\u2019s the charm, the Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers could agree to a seismic trade this summer. After losing Paul George<\/a> to the Sixers during last offseason\u2019s sign-and-trade sweepstakes<\/a>, Philadelphia appears to have buyer\u2019s remorse. As a result, they\u2019re now rumored to have interest in packaging George and the 2025 No. 3 pick to make a win-now move.<\/p>\n

It was previously suggested that the 76ers had their eyes on Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen<\/a> if they were to make such a deal. Today, it\u2019s been all but confirmed.<\/p>\n

Jazz, 76ers Talking Seismic Draft Trade<\/h2>\n

\u201cI do think it\u2019s true that the Philadelphia 76ers are interested in trading down to No. 5 potentially if they can get off the Paul George deal,\u201d The Salt Lake Tribune reporter Andy Larsen reports on the Locked On Jazz<\/em> podcast. \u201cI don\u2019t think the Jazz are gonna take that offer<\/a>, but I do think that\u2019s an offer that\u2019s been presented.\u201d<\/p>\n

Welp, got aggregated today.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll say this as a point of clarification: while all of the possibilities I mentioned (Sexton to Dallas, LAL interest in Kessler, PHI interest in a pick 3\/5 swap) have been discussed, they haven\u2019t gotten into the serious stages to my knowledge.<\/p>\n
