"And then there are these trade rumors that could have an effect on the draft order".
By moving up to the No. 1 slot from its current No. 3 spot, Philadelphia would be able to secure the services of Fultz who would fit in well with the young corps of talented players on the 76ers roster including Ben Simmons, Dario Saric and Joel Embiid.
As for what it would be like to wear Sixers' garb for real, Fultz said, "I think it would be pretty cool".
On Saturday, after a three-hour vehicle ride from his hometown, Fultz, wearing a black Sixers hat, showed up to work out for the team at its practice facility in New Jersey - the Sixers' final formality before agreeing to the deal with the Celtics. The teams announced the deal on Monday.
"It's been insane, man, just knowing that the draft is a couple of days away".
The Boston Celtics' decision to pass up on Markelle Fultz is seen as a win scenario for the team. "I'm close to home". 2-5; if it's No. 1 or 6-30, the Sixers would keep it and the Celtics would end up with the 2019 Kings' selection.

I think the industry is better and stronger when Nintendo is strong. "I understand their [Sony's] stance". This is because nailing the "feel" of Rocket League takes precedence over visual fidelity.
The Celtics now have a few days to decide what they want to do with the No. 3 pick.
One of the holdups to an agreement was the Sixers' getting Fultz, considered by most to be the draft's best player, in for a workout. The Lakers' pick in 2018 is protected Nos. But the Sixers essentially gave the Celtics only two first-round picks, suggesting they stood their ground and got Fultz while keeping one of their valuable future first-rounders. Other reports also have Boston trading that third pick to Chicago. I'm truly blessed to be in this position. They said we got to go to Philly, I said, 'OK, I'm ready for it'. It was just a situation where I had some stuff going on with my knee. Although I would hate to see the National Basketball Association continue to breed these "superteams", it would still be nice to see some change in the Finals come next postseason (s). "That's all it was". During his visit, the 19-year-old was seen wearing a Philadelphia cap, and even took a photo with Embiid, Simmons, and Robert Covington. That is fantastic size for a combo guard in this league, and Fultz makes sure he uses it. However, he did have a preference. Like I said, a dream I always had. "I'm big on that".
In May, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Lowry was "interested" in playing for the Sixers and the front office was planning to offer him a "lucrative contract" in the offseason. After he was informed that he would work out for them, he hopped into a auto and drove to Camden on Saturday afternoon.
Ainge said during a conference call today that the team is now trying to schedule a workout with Jackson for tomorrow. He missed six of his last eight college games with a sore right knee.
"It's been insane, man", Fultz said Saturday night after a brief workout before the Sixers' brass. One of Fultz specialties is shooting, and he was very effective with the three-point ball in college. He can slide off the ball and be a solid addition next to Simmons.
