Report: multiple sources reporting Celtics to trade top pick to 76ers
Multiple sources are reporting the rumored deal between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics for the top pick of the 2017 NBA Draft has been agreed to, though for the moment, details are still unclear as to what exactly the deal will entail.
Expect more news shortly on this developing story.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Trade: Woj inaccurately initially stated the Celtics were getting two additional picks to swap down from #1 to #3. Celtics are only getting one. If the Lakers pick falls between 2-5 in 2018 that will be the pick. If it ends up #1 or 6-30, Philly keeps the pick and the Celtics get Sacramento's 2019 1st rounder.

Fultz wouldn't have gone into workout with No. 3 without assurance trade was agreed upon. Sides have been locked into deal for 24 hours. https://t.co/IiWBLU8A6z— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojVerticalNBA) June 18, 2017
Lakers had interest in pursuing a deal for No. 1 pick/Fultz, but Sixers ability to potentially deliver 3 FRP's in deal too much to overcome. https://t.co/9aBUwqVMiq— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojVerticalNBA) June 18, 2017
