76ers trade 10th pick Payton to Magic for 12th pick Saric, future 2nd-round picks
A draft-night deal between the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic saw the teams swap first-round picks.
From the 76ers' website:
The Sixers traded the rights to guard Elfrid Payton (selected 10th overall) to the Orlando Magic in return for the rights to forward Dario Saric (selected 12th overall), a future second-round pick, and a future second-round pick.
It's unclear if the 76ers are receiving two future second-round picks, or whether that's a typo. There was a report that Orlando's 2017 first-round pick was involved:
Philadelphia gets Orlando's 2017 first-round pick, 1-11 protected, in Saric-Payton deal. Pick is 1-8 protected in 2018.

Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski makes it sound like there's only one second-rounder headed Philly's way, along with Saric.
Along with Dario Saric, Orlando will send a 2015 second-round pick to the Sixers, league source said.

For now it's Payton for Saric, and at least one future second-round pick.
