Now, the trade-talk decisions are about to get serious.
Comcast SportsNet New England is reporting that the Boston Celtics are aggressively shopping the third overall pick in the June 23 NBA draft.
We will find out if that is a good thing for the 76ers, who already have the first, 24th and 26th picks in the draft. The franchise is expected to decide between Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram with the first overall. However, the Sixers also could use the third pick to draft combo guard Jamal Murray out of Kentucky.
The Sixers likely would have some competition to add the third pick.
