The Los Angeles Lakers' 2018 first-round pick (which the Sixers now own the rights to) if it ends up being pick 2, 3, 4, or 5 overall.
The pick is protected at No. 1 and 6-30, meaning the Sixers would send the Kings' 2019 first-rounder or the Sixers' own 2019 first-rounder (each protected if No. 1) if the LA selection doesn't convey.
In addition to the third overall pick in the 2017 draft, the Celtics receive what will likely be a top-five pick in either 2018 or 2019.
The Celtics now have rights to seven first round #Draft Picks over the next three years.
Rob Pelinka: Lakers' trade with Nets was 'the flawless storm for us'
I think players around the National Basketball Association feel that as well and are going to be attracted to that energy here. Many of the Balls spent the night in New York City and ultimately flew home to Los Angeles on Friday afternoon.
He's also leaving three days before the draft - the Cavs are now without a pick - and on the eve of free agency. However, the tide changed when they made a decision to give the Sixers the pick and instead tea the third slot in exchange. Its a good deal for both teams..
The worst-kept secret is the Sixers will use the pick on Washington point guard Markelle Fultz. However, Sharman made eight all-star teams and won four National Basketball Association titles with the Celtics, and he and Bob Cousy are thought to be one of the one of the most accomplished backcourt tandems in league history. "We think there's a really good chance that we'll take at three, the same player we would have taken at one; an impactful asset". It has been years for the Sixers since they've been even remotely close to contention, but the wait might soon pay off as they appear poised to add Markelle Fultz to a team that has been loading up on high picks for a while.
Colangelo said the organization has always been relevant, but does admit it's increased with the infusion of talent, most notably Joel Embiid previous year and certainly when the pair of No. 1 picks, Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz, make their debuts this upcoming season. The Celtics will only receive the pick if it falls to the Lakers between selections No. And we'll get an additional player that we want in next year's draft, or the year after. While there have been inquires on the No. 2 pick, sources said it remains unlikely the Lakers would trade out of that position. Fultz led the Pac-12 in scoring and finished No. 6 among all Division I players, and was the top freshman scorer in the country. Ball had a second workout for the Lakers last week. They have plenty of time to package that pick in another deal to land a more established player that will help them compete now versus building for the future. Ainge wouldn't get into specifics, but his comments suggest the Celtics wouldn't have taken either player at No. 1 had they kept the pick. We had heard a number of versions of the trade over the weekend, but on Monday we learned the official details regarding the protections on the future pick that will go to the Celtics.
