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

[ALonelyDad]

I have reading a lot of Butler too

 

[Leasy]

So proud of my Sixers the young gunnas of the East squad. Everybody gonna want come here

 

[KOBE]

Hinkie's picks suggest otherwise.

Too much praise for that con man on here.

Ya because it took so much thought to draft Simmons right?

 

[Adebisi_Said]

He traded them for picks and they were old, this is a completely different scenario in which he's trading an 19 year old to a team loaded with young talent. This could be setting the Sixers up too well, they were looking at players who didn't necessarily fit with the talent they had at 3, while Fultz is literally the perfect player to add to their team.

I'll believe it when I see it, breh. Seems like 6ers have awful luck with young guys getting injured.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

He drafted a generational player, he traded Elfrid Payton for Saric, he wanted to draft Porzingis but team ownership wanted one of the 3 college players, the Colangelo's traded Nerlens for scraps, Hinkie would have got two 2020 firsts out of it.

@ You riding with the dude that shows up 3 hours late to work and tries to take credit for the 4 hour project.

He did a good job I think the argument some people have is that he didn't reinvent the wheel and that other gm's can't do what he did because of pressure from management to win right away

If it's a 3 team trade Phoenix might end up with Josh

 

[Nintendough]

Sixers about to give me some of the greatest let down seasons of my life. A string of 60 win seasons and a few NBA title meltdowns here we come

Some people aren't thinking this logically at all. Celtics have the number one pick. However, they want the person who likely be the 3rd pick in the draft. They could EASILY get that person, but which would you rather have, getting ONE and that be it or getting that ONE you intend to get a long with more via trade?

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

I believe in Danny Ainge.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Summary notes:

• Magic badly wanted Fultz, but Ainge refused deal
  
  
• Magic prefers Fox over Lonzo and Jackson
  
  
• Suns badly want Lonzo
  
  
• Magic wants 2018 first rounder
  
  
• Magic willing to move Randle and wants to dump Deng

It depends how Fultz performs compared to who they draft

A lot of people think this Fultz is the best player in the draft by a decent margin

 

[gluvnast]

Means Ainge wants to commit to IT long term, interesting.

And it's a wise move. Why should he get rid of the heart and soul and motivator of that team? I mean statistically and defensively it's logical but that's like trading Draymond and the team losing it's soul.

Fultz is the sexy pick.... But like in dominoes, all money ain't good money.

 

[phillycavsfan]

Y'know, in a year we could afford to sign Lebron....

He probably is. But getting Fultz means getting rid of IT. And Thomas is more than a by the numbers players. He's the heart and soul and energized of that team. The body (team) won't function without it's heart.

We may be able to eat breh..
