(Edit: It's Official) 76ers and Celtics discussing trade involving the #1 pick

[CantStop]

That's the big question

Or ainge just takes Tatum? But DSJ at 3 would be dumb

If ainge gives up fultz for Danny granger 2.0 + a future pick, that would be a horrendous deal

 

[Pimp]

There aren't any guards in either the 2018 or 2019 draft projected to be as good as Fultz, they need a lead guard.

Do you nikkaz actually listen to what's going on?

Ben Simmons is a Point Guard. Deal With It!

DSJ doesn't make much sense in Boston but taking him top 3 is not a reach.

How many times does this need to be said -

I’m talking about a point guard. And so I intend on trying this. You always get into conversations, “well that’s fine, who does he guard?” I don’t see him guarding the opposition’s point guard.

- Brett Brown

Brett Brown on Ben Simmons: When I say "point guard," I mean "point guard"

He's not going to guard the PG, why the hell do you think they're trading picks? To have Fultz play center?

 

[Dwight Howard]

You say this shyt as if Randle's a proven player. Give it up. The writing was on the wall long ago.

He's proven that he can score and rebound at an official rate. And he's good in transition, which perfect for the pace we are trying to play.

Richaun Holmes better

This gives us insurance in case Ben isn't an effective perimeter option. We can just use him like a more effective Blake and run bunch of PnR with one of the most advanced PnR freshmen in recent memory. If Ben is legit though than all bets are off yall niccas in trouble.

Where did this myth that lonzo is not athletic come from...he's a GREAT athlete

He's an above average athlete, but not great. People definitely underestimate both Lonzo and Fultz when it comes to athleticism that's for sure.

 

[Reid2Achieve]

How would Lowry "limit" Fultz's development? It's actually quite the opposite.

Ehh I disagree breh. There would be too many young guys needing the ball (Embiid, Simmons, Fultz, Saric) and then add Lowry. They should just focus on the young guys getting their reps for another season or two. Lowry at 31 doesn't fit their timeline either.

Dennis Smith is allegedly in Boston right now.

 

[ALonelyDad]

notice that a certain someone is not in the picture

And 2 white guys are. Damn, Boston.

 

[lutha]

Ben's definitely going to be able to run the offense, this just gives them the same kind of halfcourt outlet that the Cavs have with Kyrie where you have the bigger playmaker paired with the offensive minded PG that can score on ball and function as a shooter off ball.
