Yea, but was it a better performance than other former Sixer PG, Ish Smith?

12-18, 27 points, 4 rebs, 4 ast.

Fultz looks good. I thought he was too kooky to play basketball again, but looks like we might have gave up too soon.

Trading Fultz for the cap space to sign Al Horford will go down as an all-time terrible move.

Negrodamus · Post #1066 » by **Negrodamus** » Tue Jan 7, 2020 2:56 am

I never doubted Fultz's talent, but if he gets that shot down he will be something we deeply regret.

We still should have been able to get Terrence Ross for last year's playoff run. It was a terrible trade negotiation by Elton Brand.

The Sixers truly are the kings of selling low. First Noel, then Okafor, then Fultz. They're too dumb to either sell high or weather the storm. Zero foresight since Hinkie quit.

Hinkie sold MCW super high. Then he wasn't allowed to trade Okafor to Boston for a first because Jerry blocked him. Who knows what he would have done with Noel and beyond.

Ross does a lot of the running around screens sort of thing that J.J did/does with athleticism to boot. He would kill under Brett.

There was something behind the scene that we don’t know, his agent was playing games with the Sixers. Seemed like Fultz did not want to be here. I don’t blame Brand for moving on, we all didn’t know when he was ready to play again. What made this worst was the moves they made over the summer.

What sucks was Fultz. Okafor and Noel, I dont think they were that valued at all. There isn’t much demand for centers and you can find a cheaper alternative, even at their peak value.

Agree with this.

Ainge was going to give up what ended up being the third overall pick in the draft (Jaylen Brown) for Okafor. He had value at the time, we were being held hostage by the league.

We’ll never what was true. Just as Hinkie wanting to trade up Embiid for Wiggins. But what we know is we drafted Embiid and didnt do that Okafor trade

Well, that one we know was true in that Okafor was valued as the Nets unprotected pick. What occurred behind the scenes to prevent that trade is a different story.

Sometimes they’re just using “interest” as leverage. Its called “prizing”.

Yea, but it was after the deadline when it was revealed, so there wasn’t any leverage to be had.

Still not sold on his maturity. But that being said, it would have never worked here because of Ben.

Yeah, it's called Fultz wanted to start and be the PG but they already had a guy named Ben Simmons who Fultz couldn't (or wouldn't) coexist with.
