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. So 76ers big man Joel Embiid, with teammate Dario Saric by his side, decided to have a little fun and post a selfie in front of a locker that included Fultz's nameplate.
