    The new president of basketball operations of the 76ers sent a strong signal Thursday that Philadelphia may look to trade a top-five pick if it ends up with two when the lottery order is determined next week, telling NBA.com, "We'll certainly be open for business."

    The comments from Bryan Colangelo that the 76ers are interested in turning at least one first-round choice, and maybe more, into a package than includes an established player instead of adding potential is the strongest sign yet of the policy shift away from building on youth. They could go in that direction, in fact, even without multiple selections in the first five.

    Much more will be known after the order for the first 14 picks are set Tuesday night in the drawing in New York. For now, the Sixers know they will have at least one choice in the top four, either their own or Sacramento's as part of a deal last summer that gives Philly the option of flipping spots. For that to happen, the Kings would need to beat the odds and move up from No. 8.
