It's a glorious day for sixers fans. I'm about to top this off with some A1 yams

That is all

You'll be saying Swag was right all along in about 5-6 years when Embiid is never healthy, Fultz is Eric Gordon 2.0, and Simmons is out here averaging 24/10/6 on a team that keeps losing to the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

 

[SchoolboyC]

I hope this is a sign that he's not coming back

 

[Derek Lee]

 

[qnsfinest]

Wow. The balance of power is definitely changing to the eastern conference.

I definitely think the sixers are giving away to much for the first pick. But I definitely think fultz is worth it and is gonna fit with the sixers like a glove.

 

[CarltonJunior]

There could be guys in the 2018 and 2019 draft better than fultz though

I've never seen an NBA trade like this

If i had a dollar for every time someone says this. They needed a guard and they got the best guard affordable and what appears to be the best guard prospect since Kyrie.

 

[SchoolboyC]

If Ainge is gonna flip the picks I hope he gets either a wing that can put the ball in the basket or a big that isn't allergic to rebounding or protecting the paint. Or maybe a big that can score, rebound and protect the paint

 

[Regular_P]

Their not doing that until they give Boogie and AD at least a year to see how they do together

why in the world would NO trade the what? 5th best player in the league? a guy who's 24 to "rebuild" they already rebuilding and he's the center piece.

New Orleans has so many awful salaries that they can't put much around those two. If they re-sign Holiday, they'd be capped out, then Cousins would want a monster deal and they'd be capped out again.

Soloman Hill, Omer Asik, E'Twaun Moore are taking up $30-35 million for the next three years.

yeah he is the best PG prospect in a while....And next years class is weak guard wise.

 

[Swagnificent]

Who is this white dude? Cac acting like he knows basketball.

I honestly can't stand listening to white people talk about the NBA (unless they played).

Duval and Sexton aren't even top 10 locks next year. The only player right now who looks like they could be somewhat similar is Romeo Langford in 19.

 

[kash10003]

What are the protections?

 

[Houston911]

I think he's on the same tier as Kyrie, and Kyrie wasn't that much of a clear cut player at the time of the draft, there were a lot of people saying they should take Derrick Williams.

The thing is, a healthy Embiid is better than anything in the next two drafts, and if you check the 2017/2018 classes there just aren't any PGs really worth note. The 2019 is protected too, right?

We don't know what the 2019 protections

It could be 2019 too 5 protected
2020 top 3 protected
2021 unprotected

I wouldn't even give up the lakers pick to move up for fultz without protections

 

[I AM WARHOL]

If ainge flips the 3rd into 5 plus 10 then he's an all time great



If only they didn't sign horford

He's gonna flip draft picks until oblivion

ok, unless you offering Lebron, KD, or Kwahi, they aren't trading Davis. don't care if you offering 10 future 1st rd picks
