But those dreams depend on the Sixers and Celtics coming to terms on the blockbuster trade that would reportedly send the No. 1 pick to Philly in exchange for a package of multiple picks, including the No. 3 pick in this year's draft.
After the workout, Fultz spoke with the media. Here's a roundup of what he had to say:
- He's "anxious" and just wants to know where he's going to be playing.
- In regards to his knee, Fultz said it's "great" and added that he was "jumping high."
- Fultz said he would fit in well with the Sixers and noted that "tools" he has on the defensive end could be helpful for Philly.
- He hopes to go get a cheesesteak after he's done.
- As for the rumors? Fultz said he doesn't pay attention to that stuff.
OK, now that one seems a little dubious. I mean, he went to Philly at the last minute to work out for them pretty much specifically because of the trade rumors, so it seems like you would have to pay attention to what's going on just by default. Also, he's retweeting things constantly, including Joel Embiid's post, which featured a mock-up of a locker for Fultz.
