The Philadelphia 76ers continue to hunt for the No. 3 pick in Thursday's NBA Draft and they're prepared to offer a king's ransom.
ESPN's Marc Stein reports that the Sixers will give Nerlens Noel, Robert Covington, the no. 24 pick, and the no. 26 pick to the Boston Celtics for the third overall selection.
The Sixers apparently like Providence point guard Kris Dunn and they're hoping to cash in their surplus of picks to get one blue-chip prospect.
The Celtics, however, already hold eight picks, and this deal would push them to an unfathomable total of nine.
