"I don't see us moving up. I think we're content to be about where we are right now," Thorn said. "There are some cases that you couldn't even move up if you wanted to. I'd say in a normal draft 15 is probably about the cutoff of players who you think are going to be good players. This year, I think it goes a little bit deeper than that."

It is a very tricky time for the Sixers. On July 1, teams can begin talking with free agents. The Sixers could lose both Lou Williams, who opted out of the final year of his contract, and Spencer Hawes, who is an unrestricted free agent. At that time, the Sixers also can decide whether to amnesty forward Elton Brand, meaning they can let him go, pay him the $18.2 million left on his contract this season and gain that room under the salary cap. If they do that, what will they do with the money and is there someone out there, a free agent-to-be, who interests them enough to write that big check to Brand?
