Just when you thought it was safe to stop checking for trade rumors for the weekend, the biggest whopper of them all just hit the internet. According to Zach Lowe and ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Sixers are in “serious talks” to move up for the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Heres’ the word so far from Stein and Lowe:
League sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me that the Sixers and Celtics are in serious talks on a trade involving the No. 1 overall pick.

In current parameters, BOS would receive several picks and no players, sources say.
