Embiid, Sixers trusting they can land Fultz in draft

The NBA landscape went into shock on Friday when news surfaced that the Philadelphia 76ers were in talks with the Boston Celtics about acquiring the No. 1 overall pick.

According to ESPN's Zach Lowe and Marc Stein, the Sixers are working on a trade that would send a package of picks, including their No. 3 selection, to the Celtics in exchange for the top overall draft choice.

Washington point guard Markelle Fultz is projected by most to be the No. 1 pick. He's scheduled to work out for Philadelphia on Saturday.
