76ers, Celtics agree on trade for No. 1 pick

Fultz, who averaged 23.2 points for Washington, would be the second consecutive No. 1 pick for the Sixers.

Second, the fact that the Sixers will only part with one of the two future first rounders from the Kings and Lakers is better still news.

The 76ers now have the Los Angeles Lakers unprotected 2018 First Round pick and the Sacramento Kings 2019 unprotected First Round pick.

After his work out, Fultz – who already owned a Sixers hat and wore it to the work out – said of the possibility of going to Philly: “It would be pretty cool”.

The Sixers needed to meet with Fultz first before agreeing to the trade, per Wojnarowski. In 2014, he was playing junior varsity basketball in high school.

Hours before Fultz’s arrival at the team’s practice site in Camden, N.J., Joel Embiid tweeted out a selfie of himself and Dario Saric standing in front of a locker with a Markelle Fultz nameplate. Sixers president Bryan Colangelo, head coach Brett Brown and vice president of player personnel Marc Eversley attended the private workout. He shot 47.6 percent, averaged along with 5.9 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 25 games during his freshman season with the Huskies, who posted a 9-22 record. With young talents such as Duke forward Jayson Tatum, Kentucky’s De’Aron Fox, NC State point guard Dennis Smith Jr. and Florida State Forward Jonathon Isaac also expected to be possible options at No. 3 as well.

“I could see it happening, it would be a great atmosphere, it would be cool”, the Upper Marlboro, Maryland native said that night of the Sixers possibly drafting him.

The Sixers have already attended pro days involving almost all of the top players. Many around the league believe Boston will take another crack at Butler this offseason; the Celtics would still be able to create enough cap room even if they got Butler to make a max offer to an unrestricted free agent this summer. “On the court, it’s debatable (how workouts change from team to team). Maybe you don’t. A lot of it’s just interaction”.

“They have a young team, and I think the upside of it would be insane”, the Upper Marlboro, Md., native said after the brief workout. His workout was the final domino for Philadelphia to OK the deal, according to Wojnarowski and other reports. “I really liked the setup of 3-on-3 and how we played out of those handoffs and upscreens and stuff like that”.
