Im of the line of thinking that at this point we should keep both nets picks. We have to wait out the Warriors not the Cavs. Thats a good 3-4 years. Try to sign Hayward and then use the picks. I think Ainge is playing this right by having one foot in contending and one foot out.

Not about what I want, the reality is that with Fultz coming in there's gonna be a logjam and someone will have to be the odd man out. And if that happens to be Smart then I hope good value can be had

I don't think Fultz is the answer. He won 9 games last year. IT, Smart, and Bradley can win you games. The time to win is now. Honestly like someone else said, I would go all in for AD.

I really couldn't care less about college win-loss record. You gonna take Justin Jackson over Tatum or Josh Jackson because he played in two national title games?

This isn't 2K. We can't force New Orleans to trade with us. They currently have no intention whatsoever to blow their team up. Even if the AD & Cousins duo doesn't work out, they will get rid of Boogie before they get rid of him.

ESPN First take talking the possibility of moving on from IT I dont see it but the possible reasoning makes sense.

I think the saying goes: a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.

You DO NOT trade a player like Isaiah. Period.

Problem with that logic is that you're assuming once GS regresses there's gonna be a wide open path, that's just not how the NBA works. New powerhouses will rise

What's understood doesn't need to be said. But, remember, a less-than-2-game sample size is not sufficient to make such rash declarations.
