two years ago. Philly originally had the pick from a Sacramento salary dump so the Kings could sign Rajon Rondo(!)

This was all made possible by the genius known as Sixers former general manager (GM) Sam Hinkie. After the 2015 draft, the Sacramento Kings were looking to make a splash in free agency and needed to unload some contracts to do so. Hinkie was a willing trade partner and took on the contracts of Carl Landry and Jason Thompson, for two young foreign prospects in Arturas Gudaitis and Luka Mitrovic.

The two veterans weren’t the only pieces that the Sixers recieved in that trade. Hinkie also was able to get a young prospect in Nik Stauskas, along with the rights to swap picks in 2017 and the Kings unprotected pick in 2019.

Former president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo did hurt the value of the 2019 pick when he traded with the Celtics in 2017 in order to draft Markelle Fultz with the first pick. The only way the Sixers can receive the Kings pick now is if the Kings get the first overall pick in the draft lottery.
