The NBA has experienced a dizzying amount of news during the past week. Paul George and Jimmy Butler are on the trade block, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost their general manager during a pivotal offseason, and the Los Angeles Lakers just traded their former cornerstone D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a trade with the Boston Celtics for the rights to select Markelle Fultz with the No. 1 overall pick, who might represent the final major piece of “The Process.”
 
The 2017 NBA Draft could be equally exciting, with only the first two picks all but assured.
