Former Washington Husky and No. 1 overall draft pick Markelle Fultz has been traded to the Orlando Magic. The Philadelphia 76ers received guard Jonathon Simmons, a first-round pick by way of the Oklahoma City Thunder (top 20 protected), and a second-round.
Unless you’ve been fully ignoring the NBA and Amari Cooper’s endzone celebrations , you’re fully aware that Fultz has been on incredibly unstable ground within the Sixers organization for the last two years. Following the Celtics trading away his draft rights for Jayson Tatum, Fultz failed to make an impact within the Philly process, missing most of his rookie season due to an assortment of injuries, playing in only fourteen games.
