The Philadelphia Sixers, seem to be interested in signing a veteran point guard this free agency, in helping Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Dario Saric and their rookie on the offensive floor, and on the pick and roll system. They have been interested in signing a point guard because at the moment they don't have a capable starting point guard who will help the rest of the young guys. Kyle Lowry is a possibility, that they would want to pursue in the summer, along with a few others, but a more realistic goal is to sign Spurs points guard Patty Mills. If Chris Paul decides to go the San Antonio Spurs this summer, Patty Mills will have a lesser role in the Spurs, so the Sixers could actually be a real possibility. Mills has spent his whole career in San Antonio, but he does have a connection with the Sixers through coach Brett Brown, who was an assistant with the Spurs before taking over in Philadelphia. The Sixers, however, would have to pay Mills a pretty penny, if they want to sign him, and this is something that Philadelphia is strongly considering. If they cannot land Kyle Lowry, by giving him a max-deal, Mills is the next on the line.
With the third pick in this year's NBA Draft, the Sixers are ready to become winners again next season, and could potentially land Tatum or Jackson. Mills will have to decide if he wants to join a rising phoenix, but one that won't be soaring right away, or be a role player in a championship contender team.
