Firing Gar/Pax would help stop the hell too. I'd take the #3 in the draft LA pick and Kings pick. If Most needs to dump some guys and we need to trade another guy or two to even out salary I'm al for it. Gladly take Smart and Olynk off their hands.
I think honestly all the tweet meant was Pick protection wasn't a huge deal for them. Matters in terms of who they are trading them too for sure but other than that they could care less.
Only if Both Teams aren't in the bot 3 though. Lakers pick isn't protected though. Only the Kings pick. No one knows what those protections are yet.
You should read up on all the praise he has been receiving. He is one of those puzzle pieces that help you really compete come playoff time.

Will be a big time 3 and d guy and with a small cap hold ( if I understand that correctly)
There's value there, of course. But if the Sixers think that Fultz is better than #3 and whatever pick the Lakers would bring....it's a no brainer.Just Win Baby said:
. Crazy how people were acting like giving up 2 more early 1st round picks to move up 2 spots was perfect, but it was nuts to ask for more for that same haul for a Butler or George.
I hope you don't mean one of the big sports talk stations here in Philly. I can't stand them and half the time it's idiots arguing over nothing or hot takes that make hot takes here look reasonable.
Ugh. I realized awhile ago reading this board in the Eagles thread use to be two solid posters with inside info (One guy was friends with Kevin Kolb Family other dude had a guy who worked in Eagles FO and left for Indy) and their info was as close to correct as one could get. Either way I read a lot back then didn't post much but I learned 98% of fans and media don't know what the hell they are talking about and throwing crap on the wall hoping something sticks or generate ratings for TV show or radio. If I'm forced to listen to that dribble ever I always feel bad for that caller who calls in with a sensible opinion because either the host tears them down or the next caller calls in tearing it down or gives some hot take instead.
Joking is for the playoffs. This is serious business.It was just a joke about a bunch of top picks
I would be shocked if the Celtics don't make a big deal...it feels like this deal is step 1 towards whatever Ainge is trying to accomplish this offseason...with the #3 this year, the Nets pick next year, the Lakers/Kings pick in either 18 or 19, their own two picks in 18/19 and the Grizzlies and Clippers pick in 19 they are loaded up to make a big move...if they could somehow come out of this with something like Jimmy Butler-Gordon Hayward and a rookie like Jackson/Tatum/Isaac/Ball they will become a legit contender...that Brooklyn trade is turning into the Herschel Walker deal of the NBA...the fact Brooklyn did not include any lottery protection with four traded 1st-rounders is an all time great blunder...
So am I reading it right that they only got one additional pick for moving down to 3? They must have the top-3 picks all ranked the same.
Yes...presumably they have whoever they think they want at 3 rated above Fultz and Ball. That's fine in isolation, but if they end up keeping all these picks and assets, they're going to end up with a logjam at the 3-4. That may not be bad in today's NBA, but none of these 3-4s are guys that can initiate an offense and they still only have one shot at Doncic/Porter next year (i.e. 3-4s that can initiate an offense).
Agree - this is a massive bet on neither Fultz or Ball being franchise players.
I thought it was a great trade for them. That pick is a great asset. Very good chance of getting a top 5 pick in one of the next 2 drafts. And it would seem they are sold on one of Jackson/Fox/Tatum, which would make sense. Those guys are great.
I love Fox. I think he's a better prospect than anyone other than Fultz. I don't know how that will affect the Cs' defense, but I thought he was pretty good on D in college. I don't read much about him in the top bunch though. I'm disappointed that the Celtics traded out of 1 because I thought they may take Ball, which would piss Lavar Ball off. Now that's off.
