So the battle for Fultz is in full force. There are some reports that the Lakers could offer #2 and Randle for the #1. 

 

Could see Boston moving off the 1 line, since apparently they love Jackson and know they could get him at 2 or 3

Jackson, I thought I read a report that Boston was huge on Tatum.

I've not seen Tatum pop up anywhere, they're extremely high on Jackson though according to reports.

Boston/Philly trade confirmed. Seemingly good deal for Philly, not sure about Boston. Depends on what they do next. I was curious and checked out a couple Boston boards and the majority didn't seem very happy.

Lol at the guys on here telling me Sam Hinkie sucked at his job. Got us Simmons, Fultz, Embiid, Saric, Covington, McConnell, TLC, Furkan & Holmes. Great night to be a Sixer fan. Pacers should really try to convince him to come there. Kings and Magic tried but their both messes. Pacers at least have PG he could do wonders in a trade with and Turner to build around.

Lmao at Sixer fans acting like they have won anything yet by sucking. Let's see if that talent can stay healthy and do something they couldn't even do in college first. Win. I think they have solid talent. Let's see if they can win first before you start the laughing. I don't think many NBA fans are scared of the Sixers just yet lol.

Yeah since Washington and LSU were such power houses before they got there lol. How many other draft picks were on either of their teams? None!! Antonio Blakeney is the best shot at even making a summer league roster haha.

Isiah Thomas and Shaq both played at the respective schools.

 

Edit: I know what you are saying but it wouldn't matter if they were that good. 9 wins?

We have also had 60 million in cap space the last 2 years that we didnt spend so we could suck to get these draft picks. If we wanted to be okay or make 6-8 playoff seed we could have bought talent. Now we spend that money when we actually need guys to win.

If a player is that transcendent then they should be able to at least get their team to the tournament. There's no excuse for a guy with #1 pick skill going 9-22 unless he's playing for the little sisters of the poor or something.

Lol not WITH them. Every power 5 school has at least one good player. Washington has had a lot more than Isiah Thomas. Jamal Crawford, Brandon Roy, Marquess Chriss, Dejounte Murray, Nate Robinson, Jon Brockman....I mean.

Exactly my point. I trust Danny Ainge a million times over Sam Hinkie and his process that was. They should have a solid team on paper in 3-5 years assuming everyone is healthy. But there is a reason Ainge passed.

Most top draft picks go to UK or Duke or UNC or somewhere. And most #1 picks had at least a cpl guys worthy of at least trying out for a NBA team.

And you act like your opinion matters more than NBA scouts and College talent evaluators who all have Fultz as far and away the best talent beside Josh Jackson who would be the #1 pick in most drafts.

Obviously Danny Ainge wasn't as firm as a believer. Trust the process!

Yeah to get Jimmy Butler or Paul George. Go read twitter. Both Pacers and Bulls wanted more than just a #1 pick. Also Ainge said he planned to keep IT and Bradley and felt Jackson fit his team better if they did end up keeping pick. Both the Lakers and Kings picks have protections too so if they arent a top 5 pick...most Sixers fans could care less.

Celtics didnt wanna give up both Nets picks and not have any picks if they did get a star now they have a shot at both. Trading 2 or 3 picks and keeping 2 of them. It was a win win for both.

Did you not read anything I just said? Celtics guys are saying Ainge tried to get Butler and Bulls said no. Said they wanted more so he went and got more. Also plans to keep IT and Bradley who averaged 25 a game against the Cavs and is an elite defender so no need for Fultz. Need a wing guy like Jackson more than Fultz. Before Sixers offered this trade there was a reason the Celtics only worked out Fultz lol. Yeah he thought he was so bad he didnt care to even look at other prospects till the last week when the talks started to take place.
