    Of course the Lakers dont move out, f--- em.

    No chance the C's keep that 3 pick, they either trade it for an established player or move back.

    Nice, really hope they don't trade the pick. I'm hoping for Ingram.

    There was no way the Lakers were missing out on the 2 relevant players in this draft...

    Ben Simmons to the Sixers is such a bad fit. Sixers need a point guard or a scorer so bad.

    PG is the easiest position to find in the league and the Sixers arent contending any time soon. Take the best player available.

    Ingram is the perfect fit for us, but I want our boy Simmons!!!!!

    You're getting greedy. :') Getting the 3rd pick from Brooklyn who had the 3rd worst record isn't getting r---d. It's a huge win for the Celtics considering this pick was expected to be in the 20s a couple of years ago.

    Ingram could be great but Simmons definitely has the higher ceiling. I think it's 50/50 on who will end up being #1.

    Gotta go with Simmons and hope the work ethic rumors aren't true or that he just wasn't interested in college. We have such bad luck though, I wouldn't be surprised to see which ever one of the two that doesn't come to Philly be the better player

    Brett Brown is still your coach right?

    Ben should be familiar with him coz of the Aussie connection.

    When you get f----- out of Durant and Duncan and the only time you move up in the lottery is 30 years ago when Len Bias OD'd and died 2 days later, yea we should be greedy. The 16'-18' picks were expected lottery from the jump, oh and this is basically a 2 player draft. In other words we got f----- AGAIN, the 3rd pick is barely better then the 7th pick.

    I forgot you guys slid from 2 to 5 in 07. You'd trade that title for KD?
