This is what we would call blockbuster news around the NBA.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the deal would include Philadelphia sending the third selection and a package of future first-round picks to Boston for the first selection.
Washington product Markelle Fultz has long been linked to Boston with the No. 1 pick. Though, general manager Danny Ainge and Co. have not been afraid to make moves in order to acquire future assets. This potential deal would just follow the MO of the team’s front office over the past several seasons.
