There's no haul. #1 picks are once in a blue moon. The #1 pick was the haul.

Of course. Ainge gets obsessed with these guys who cannot shoot and wants them all on one team. Watching smart Jackson and brown brick shot should be fun next year.

Jaylen Brown shot 34.1% from 3 last year as a rookie.
An eFG% of 50.8% and a TS% of 53.9%.

I think the concerns of him not being able to shoot are just a BIIIIIIIIIIIT over blown.

Or you can look at it like a normal person would.

Danny traded the consensus number 1 pick and he didn't agree with it because he can't scout talent anymore. If he ever could anyway

Bingo

Just what the team needs. A vet. Vet means old. Vet means someone who will do nothing for this team and age quickly.

This guy gets it. We weren't gonna take Fultz.

So, are we going to go all in now while having future picks?

I guess that's the point to have those future picks, to have contingency plan while using our current assets to go all in.

I love DA and even though I love and like a LOT of his picks, he has yet to pick a guy that turns into a major boom. RR maybe and that didn't last long and he isn't a HOF I don't think. I know we haven't had top picks and I give him a break there but these last few we have had top 10 picks. Smart isn't a top talent, gotta wait on JB (I'm really hoping because he seems like the type mentally) and this #3, if we keep it, will show me what he's made of. He is great at picking late guys, I guess I gotta hope he is about to go boom on a top lotto guy.

FFS!!!

The best course of action would have been to draft Fultz and wait for the Warriors to get old. It isn't possible forAinge to build a team that can contend with the Cavs or The Warriors.

Ainge wasn't going to pick Fultz regardless. May as well collect picks and keep it moving.

Celtics finally get the first pick in the draft and ainge appears to be trading it for more picks. Unreal.

If the guy who called the trade(this years 3rd, the best of Philly and LA next and a 2021 Philly 1st), you have 3 tries to get the 1 and 2 next year in a more top loaded draft. Might work out in the end

Wasn't this a loaded draft with franchise players? And we landed 1. Maybe next year, we will also. Uggg

Can't wait for that douche wyc to get on.98.5 and talk down and be a condescending prick towards those of us who heavily disagree with the move because "we don't know what they do for planned moves in the future

Right. Because protections don't devalue trade picks. People are so f-ing dumb it's amazing.

You know what they say about people in glass houses?

Those people should avoid calling other people "so f-ing dumb"

Grow up for christ sake.

Passing on Fultz to pick anyone else is pure stupidity. If he doesn't think he's the best prospect then he's in a small minority.

Do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand this. Only a matter of who at this point.

Vet meaning someone like Butler or George. I just don't think it's going to be either of those two. It will be someone we didn't see coming

Fultz never stood alone for me. Ever.

I truly wanted Josh Jackson from the start, that being said, once we got the #1 pick I talked myself into Fultz hard.

However, I'm now fully talking myself into the LAL 2018 1st.

Doncic, Ayton, Bemba? Yes please.

Does the word protection mean anything to you? Those picks are near worthless.

Protection on the Kings pick only, lakers seems to be unprotected

Isn't the actual case that we don't know yet?
If there's a deal
If both are protected or one
What the protections are
If there's a deal, what we're doing next
Etc. etc. etc. etc. to the point of redundant redundancy.
