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

[Swagnificent]

Ainge got robbed

Not really. Not if you don't think Markelle Fultz is really the #1 player in this draft. If Ainge really preferred Jayson Tatum or Josh Jackson, then moving down 2 spots while getting another lottery pick is a major win.

The only reason you think its robbery is because you falsely assume Fultz is actually the #1 player in this draft.

If Ainge picks Tatum 3rd overall, he would have won this trade in a major way.

DANNY AINGE HOLD THIS GODDAMN L
PHILLY GANG FOR LIFE
fukk ALL THE BANDWAGON FANS COMING SOON
YALL WEREN'T WITH US WHEN JAKAR SAMPSON WAS RUNNING THE POINT
FULTZ, SIMMONS, EMBIID, SARIC, COVINGTON, TONS OF CAP SPACE, ETC.
GOAT TEAM WE'RE ON THE COMEUP

Danny ain't holding an L. Josh Jackson gonna be better than Fultz.

 

[str8up]

He's an undersized SG with mediocre athleticism and shooting ability. He has no attributes that are special. His intangibles and leadership qualities are weak. And the fact his college team won only 9 games is glaring.

If he was being projected as the 5th-8th pick, I wouldn't say anything about him. Because that is more his range. The fact he's gonna go #1 and people are talking about him like he's some amazing prospect is what boggles my mind.

He's a better athlete and shooter than Lonzo tho.

 

[fscballin]

Covington?

[CantStop]

That's gonna be put to the test more than ever here. Because he's basically saying fultz isn't in his own tier

But who does he want? Jackson seems too obvious with how much their love for him leaked

Wouldn't be suprised if it's Tatum

I also wouldn't be suprised if they trade back again with the kings for 5 and 10

Tatum would be a nice pick if they do trade back.

Celtics just better hope the Nets are still horrendous. People forget they were bad last year due to injuries, when they were healthy, they were alright. But like you said, this basically just means Ainge wasn't high on Fultz.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

So I take it this means I.T isn't coming back right?

 

[Long Live The Mamba]

Trust the process?..

Ya boy taking shots?



He deleted it of course.

He's 100% right. Markelle Fultz done pulled a scam on all these analytics loving GMs. It honestly makes no sense to me how this dude has risen so fast in the rankings. I remember following this draft class all the way back in 2014 when they were in the FIBA under-17 world championships. The top players back then was Harry Giles, Josh Jackson, and Jayson Tatum. Even guys like Terrance Ferguson were getting love. And also Dennis Smith Jr.

This Markelle Fultz hype makes no sense to me. Typically the top high school players end up being the top draft prospects. How he surpassed all these guys while putting up empty stats on a 9 win college team makes no sense to me.

Spoiler

exactly lol...that's all that's going on here....ainge is a fukking hoarder, plain and simple...if bos was smart, what they'd do is let him get all these assets, then fire his ass, and bring someone in that will be willing to use said assets to improve the team past the 'wait bron out' stage...

 

[Swagnificent]

I expect you to be a insecure self hating fukk boy with more horrible sports takes in 2019.

Let's bet to see who pans out in the NBA, ball or fultz

Well that will be easy. It'll be Ball by a mile.

Tatum would be a nice pick if they do trade back.

Celtics just better hope the Nets are still horrendous. People forget they were bad last year due to injuries, when they were healthy, they were alright. But like you said, this basically just means Ainge wasn't high on Fultz.

The Jackson love seems too public, seems like a smoke screen. Would love to know who he really wants

As far as the nets pick I think that gets traded within the next month
