Not enough for #3 in a deep draft. That 2020 is maybe at the range of 15-25pick. Would you also trade #2 pick for okafor and protected top 10 2020?i think you will say NO even i will add saric, okc 1st 2020 and take deng's contract still you will say NO.

I believe Russell is a great fit in Philly. They can use a shooting pg. He can play with Simmons and he can play off the ball

Fullz and Ball wil be gone. So Philly can draft Tatum, Jackson or Fox
Jackson is a great defender, but Philly needs a shooter.
Tatum is a prospect. He can be good or be a bust. Philly can't afford making draft mistakes after all these tanking years.
Fox is a great PG ( some say better than Ball), but he also need the bal to be great, so i don't think he's a great fit with Simmons.

So Russell isn't worth the third pick in general, but he is for Philly.

If josh jackson is available at #3 it is no brainer. His potential is higher to all prospect other than fultz. A trio of jackson-simmon-embiid are good foundation. about the problem of having a sg, you can sign jj redict for 16-18m for 3yrs or a trade from the sun either bledsoe or knight. Sixers also have bayless for 2 years. And if it is true that d'angelo russell is available. I think a package of okafor (need chance of scenery), okc 1st 2020, 2 2nd rd picks for d'angelo and deng's contract will do or a good to start for a framework of a trade.

Russell just isn't worth 3. Whether he's a good fit in Philly or not doesn't change that fact.

The Sixers might as well just take monk at 3 if they were to consider this deal.
