So basically, the Sixers are giving up one additional first-round pick to fill an immediate need, and that is a player who can play both guard positions, just in case the experiment of playing Ben Simmons, last year's No. 1 pick, at the point fails.
If Boston holds onto the pick, it would have seven first-rounders in the next three years. One player is not going to transform this team into a playoff contender, let alone a threat to challenge the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers for league supremacy.
"We're like sister and brother", Fultz said of Plum. And when the right deals come around, we will move on them..
Fultz, the versatile Washington guard who worked out for the Sixers on Saturday evening, is the consensus top player and clearly the best fit in Brett Brown's system. "I'm not going to give up those efforts because we have moved up to No. 1".
"We're thrilled to be able to select what we expect to be an impact player with the third pick in this year's very talented draft class, while also adding a highly valuable future asset as we continue to build towards Banner 18", Ainge said in a statement.

There are some conditions on the future first-rounder Boston gets out of this deal.
The first round of the National Basketball Association drafts is Thursday and all eyes are on the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers. If not, Philadelphia will send Boston either its own first-rounder in 2019 or Sacramentos first-rounder that year.
"This is certainly a trade that is under the microscope more than others", Ainge said. But were not afraid of that.. Fultz would join a Philadelphia roster that includes Simmons, Jahlil Okafor and 2017 Rookie of the Year finalists Joel Embiid and Dario Saric.
Forwards Josh Jackson of Kansas and Jayson Tatum of Duke are two players frequently mentioned as possibilities at the No. 3 spot, and Celtics president Danny Ainge said Boston could get the player there they might have taken at No. 1. "This pick provides us a tremendous opportunity to add another foundational player to our promising core". In 2014, he was playing junior varsity basketball in high school in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
He was a subliminal talent who led the Pac-12 with 23.2 points per game while averaging 5.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 25 games for a UW team that finished the 2016-17 season 9-22, including 13 straight losses at the end. Fultz finished No. 6 among all Division 1 players and ultimately was the top freshman scorer in the country.
