    Supposedly its picks only. Would need to be #3 and the better of Lakers/Philly 2018 or Kings 2019.

    So much to lose for Ainge if Fultz turns into a stud. I'll believe it happens when it does though, ever since the the 14-15 season (where he made like 10 trades) Danny has been trigger shy. Thats not a complaint because they are incredible spot, but this would be a risky a--- move. Whereas if you take Fultz and he doesn't become a stud, he was still the consensus #1.

    I think Danny realizes 2018 draft suits his needs more. 2 cracks at either Bamba or Ayton would be tough to pass up.

    Good old Lebron lol, first he's beefing with Draymond again and now this...

    Way past his prime Kobe even destroyed him in the post in one of their last meetings(maybe the last one?), here's one of the best examples from that game.

    s--- even a core of Fultz/Simmons going forward is better than a lot of the high lottery teams going forward.

    I think when he loses in the finals he has to hype himself up for some reason, did it after the Dallas finals for sure and maybe after some of the others too..not sure..Like he needs to remind himself and others that he's the best lol, it's kinda strange.

    I mean he's admitted a few times that he, Wade, Bosh, and Melo all talked about taking 3 year rookie extensions instead of 5 so that they could all be UFA in 2010. Melo obviously didn't listen, but did he expect ppl to think it was some coincidence they were all available that year?

    Even regarding the post thing, Goebert/Horford/Jokic all gave him buckets down there this season. Hard to like this guy sometimes.

    I think Celtics should trade tbh, they don't wanna end up like Phoenix and have 3 or 4 pgs on the team. They can trade down and pick up either Jackson or Tatum, whoever they want and get some other picks

    Okafor would be a throw in on top of the Lakers pick. It has to be more then #3 and the Lakers pick for it to be worth it for me. Maybe a swap of the Memphis pick in 19' for the Kings 19' pick.

    The gap between pick 1 and 3 is no way near as big as it's been in the last couple of years. Fultz is a good player but Jackson is not that far off. No way Philly are gonna give up 2 potential REALLY good lottery picks to move up 2 places in this years draft. Surely Coleangelo isn't that dumb...? :emoji_slight_frown:

    Well the gap between KAT and Okafor was not thought to be that significant at the time. You look back at it now and its an astronomical gap, but Okafor was at the top of most mock's throughout the year and even after Duke won it all some still had him as #1. On the other end of the spectrum 2016 was supposed to be Simmons >>>> Ingram > everyone else. Simmons was the consensus #1 all year, but now I would say Jaylen has moved ahead of Ingram and I guess we'll see how significant the gap is when Simmons gets on the floor and we get to see if he can s---t.

    Pre-Season 2017 Mock's were a mixed bag, I would say most had Fultz but a lot had JJ. But once the season started it pretty much turned consensus for Fultz. I still have Fultz quite a bit above JJ, especially when you look at the age gap between the two.

    Fultz to the Sixers would be awesome for them but they better not overpay to move up two slots. :wow2:

    If anything I want Philly to trade down to us so that my Magics can go after Josh Jackson. :ohno:
