Likely Boston/Philly Trade

Also says the picks will be protected coming from Philly so that takes a little luster off it but still.

I guess I'd still pull the trigger though if I were Sixers. If Fultz could turn into Kyrie 2.0, you've gotta make that trade.
 
Welp... not so fast.

According to league source, Celtics will receive the No. 3 overall pick this year & a protected future first-round pick from Philly, not two
 
Good deal for the Sixers now.

Clarification on deal: Besides its 2017 FRP, Philly sends '18 Lakers pick w/ protections. If it doesn't convey, 76ers send 2019 Kings pick.
 
why do Boston want to help Philly get better ???

Because Isaiah Thomas, believe it or not, is a HUGE asset for them. By drafting Fultz, they'll surely alienate him and he'll surely leave in Free Agency.



By trading with the Sixers, they get the 3rd pick this year (a wing they can use), PLUS a potential top 5 pick in '18, AND still a hot favourite in keeping Isaiah Thomas in Free Agency as well.
