I never did really watch him play so no comment but this seems like a steal for the 76ers
I'm not sure I understand the celts position here unless they think they can wind up with a tier one player plus whoever they pick at 3

word is that it's the lakers pick or the kings pick plus #3
not both

I don't think it's a steal for the 76ers. I've Read reports that the celtics were high on Fultz, but they were considering taking Jackson at #1. Also, they were interested in Tatum and Ball (but seeing how he won't work out for them, I feel it's doubtful).
So It's assumed the 76ers draft Fultz
if the lakers draft Ball, the celtics get Jackson (who they wanted all along).
If the lakers draft Jackson and ball falls to 3, the celtics could explore a trade with the suns, who are very high on Ball. Maybe that nets them another first next year and they can still draft a more NBA ready Jason Tatum.
It's win-win for the celtics.

definitely a win for the Sixers. they finally get to use a high pick on a guy with talent AND fit. no one else in that range matches that criteria for them as well as Fultz.
and they only give up 1 extra pick (w/ protections) to move up for the consensus best player in the draft.
for Boston, it's a little less clear for me. if they're right about Jackson (or whomever) v Fultz, that's a win.
i also think the cap difference between #1 and #3 (assuming they keep #3) will help them get to a max slot more easily. if i'm Ainge, i'm pushing for a max FA this summer and star trade before i have to make a decision on Thomas, Bradley, Smart.
