There were rumblings before the draft about the Philadelphia 76ers possibly trading veteran Paul George, but the idea of dealing George reportedly was never a possibility for the team.

One rumor that came out before the draft was that the 76ers could look to trade Paul George and the No. 3 pick to move down, but they ended up not doing it. According to The Stein Line, a source used the word "nonsense" to describe the 76ers' thinking when trying to trade the pick and George.

The Philadelphia 76ers lost one potential trade partner if they want to move Paul George and his $162 million this offseason.
