76ers Reportedly Seek Trade Up With Spurs For No. 2 NBA Draft Pick

The San Antonio Spurs hold the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and are considering whether to select a player or trade the pick. The Philadelphia 76ers, who own the No. 3 pick, have expressed interest in trading up to No. 2 to secure a top prospect, with private workouts scheduled for Baylor's VJ Edgecombe and Rutgers' Ace Bailey. The New Orleans Pelicans, currently holding the No. 7 pick, are also in talks with the Spurs about moving up to No. 2, showing particular interest in Ace Bailey. VJ Edgecombe has impressed the 76ers' executives with his work ethic, defensive skills, and offensive potential, making him a strong candidate for their selection if they remain at No. 3. The Spurs could leverage their valuable No. 2 pick to obtain additional assets if they decide to trade down. Meanwhile, the 76ers aim to build around their young core and see a higher draft pick as a way to accelerate their team's resurgence.
