The landscape of the NBA’s Eastern Conference appears to be changing as quickly as the release of a Steph Curry jumper.
The 76ers and Boston Celtics will most likely complete a blockbuster trade sometime Monday, with the Sixers garnering the top pick in Thursday’s draft. Then, they will add Markelle Fultz, viewed as the top talent in this good draft, to a roster that will include last year’s top pick in Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, most likely the top pick in 2014 had he not fractured his foot in predraft workouts.
Simmons missed all of last season with a fractured foot, so the three players who many believe are the building blocks of this rebuild are still painfully young, but oh so high on potential.
