It all began in the 2017 NBA Draft. The Philadelphia 76ers had selected guard Markelle Fultz with the first pick and were waiting patiently for the right to draft in the second round. As you recall, the team entered the draft with the 3rd, 36th, 39th, 46th, and 50th picks in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Now you might think this will talk about that trade of the third pick PLUS either the 2018 Los Angeles Lakers pick (1,6-30 protected) OR the better of either the 2019 Sacramento Kings Pick (1 pick protected) OR the Philadelphia 76ers pick (1 pick protected) to the Boston Celtics for the top pick of the 2017 NBA Draft.
