On Friday evening, ESPN’s Zach Lowe, Marc Stein and The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke through the wall of pre-draft misinformation and posturing to deliver some legitimate news: the Sixers and Celtics are discussing a trade for the top overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
According to all three, the deal would revolve solely around draft picks -- including the Sixers number three overall pick and the Lakers unprotected 2018 pick -- and conversations have intensified enough that Fultz could be visiting Philadelphia on Saturday.
A deal that would bring Fultz to the Sixers has made sense all along, and considering how intense the talks reportedly are, it’s a move that needs to get done.
