The trade will likely result in the Sixers drafting standout Washington guard Markelle Fultz, who is widely regarded as the top prospect in the draft.
In return, the Celtics will receive the 76ers' first-round pick this year — No. 3 overall as well as one future first round pick. However, when that second pick will be used by the Celtics gets a little bit complicated.
For the trouble of swapping positions this year, the Celtics will also receive one of the following:

- The Los Angeles Lakers' 2018 first-round pick (which the Sixers currently own the rights to) if it ends up being pick 2, 3, 4, or 5 overall.
- If the Lakers pick does not fall in that range in 2018, the Celtics will choose between the Kings' first-round pick in 2019 (which currently belongs to the 76ers) or the 76ers' own first-round pick in 2019. However, if one of those picks turns out to be the first pick, the Celtics will receive the other one.
