Report: 76ers increasing efforts to acquire Celtics' No. 3 pick

The Philadelphia 76ers are ramping up efforts to acquire the No. 3 pick in Thursday's draft from the Boston Celtics, according to ESPN's Marc Stein and Chad Ford.

Sixers general manager Bryan Colangelo admitted this week he wanted to swap his team's two late first-rounders (picks 24 and 26) for another top eight selection to go with the No. 1 overall pick they already possess.

Rumors in past weeks have included players like Jahlil Okafor potentially moving to the Celtics.
