No way 76ers are moving up just to pick Jackson at #1. Reportedly his workout with the Lakers went bad hence I don't they are going to draft him at #2 which makes him available at #3.

Jonathan Givony - @DraftExpress: Also was told that Josh Jackson's workout in LA "did not go well at all." Brought high energy but struggled with his shooting and handle.

What does his workout with the Lakers have to do with this?  This is all about PHI and who they want.  It is probably but Fultz but they may covet Jackson, who probably fits better next to a ball-handling Simmons then Fultz does.

If PHI wants Jackson my concern would be that LA takes Fultz and then the Cs are forced to a possible lower tier of talent or take Ball.

Danny is no fool...he knows there is a remote possibility that this may happen. Or lakers take Jackson...but he also likes option B.. he is happy to get extra, save on capspace

Plus I doubt Danny takes Fultz even if he drops to 3.  If deal is 100 percent...He will already burn the bridge to draft him

I think its a smokescreen by Magic to sway 76ers from making a deal with Boston. If 76ers want Jackson then they may stay where they are if they believe Magic. I don't believe any of this stuff though. Fultz is the guy Danny wants.
