NBA: 76ers engage Cavs in trade talks for number one overall pick - report

Cleveland might have a trade partner if the Cavaliers opt to deal the No. 1 overall pick, and the Philadelphia 76ers are fighting to get to the front of the line.

According to ESPN, the 76ers are working to move up to draft Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins with the first overall pick in the 2014 draft.

Philadelphia has the Nos. 3 and 10 overall picks and could be willing to part with young veterans, including 2014 NBA Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams or forward Thaddeus Young to sweeten the pot without parting with both picks.

The 76ers are the youngest team in the NBA and a rebuilding project viewed as a long-term turnaround.

For Cleveland to make the deal, the Cavaliers would have to be comfortable missing out of Wiggins and either Jabari Parker of Duke or Kansas center Joel Embiid. While the 76ers are set on accumulating assets with youth to establish their foundation for the future, the Cavaliers believe they can compete for a playoff spot with Kyrie Irving as the centerpiece. - Reuters
