76ers trade for top pick
The 76ers and Celtics agreed in principle on a trade whereby the 76ers would acquire the chance to take Markelle Fultz with the first pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday, a person with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press.
The Celtics will get the No. 3 pick, plus an additional first- rounder in either 2018 or 2019, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday night because the trade has not been formally approved by the league.
The agreement between the teams was struck not long after Fultz worked out for the 76ers on Saturday night.
