Unless you just weren’t paying attention to NBA news at all the last couple days, you would have had a hard time missing out on the Boston Celtics’ latest move. News surfaced on Friday afternoon originating from ESPN’s Marc Stein and Zach Lowe that the Celtics were in discussions on a trade involving the 2017 first overall draft pick.
This of course instantly sent social media into an uproar as many began speculating on just what the Celtics could be up to. It had been long presumed that they would either draft projected number one overall pick Markelle Fultz or perhaps trade the pick for a key player, but few foresaw them moving it to Philly who is doing an excellent job of compiling young players, but hardly has a difference-maker in their ranks that could instantly propel Boston to new heights.
