The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade the first overall pick in the NBA Draft to the Philadelphia 76ers, and while terms of the deal are still emerging, it appears as though they will get the number three pick, the Lakers 2018 first round pick, and the Kings 2019 first round pick in exchange.
This is quite a haul that Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge will almost certainly use to pursue a star. The 76ers, meanwhile, will use the pick to select Washington’s Markelle Fultz, who they believe will pair perfectly with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who have the second pick in the NBA Draft, recently worked out Fultz, and were reportedly very impressed.
