Fantastic trade...both lal and sac are on brooklyn level...being worth a lot in today market. We can outbid any team in future trades.

Love Fultz but LeBron and Duncan would have one the NCAA Tournament with that garbage Washington roster.

Really does look like the tip of an iceberg and people are losing it even though the best trader in the business just did a deal with Bryan freaking Colangelo. Gotta see the details and it could even bleed into July considering the FA situaish.

Then who should we compare him to? Fab melo? Number 1 picks are expected to be a franchise player and that's exactly who they have been in recent history.

This thinking doesn't make sense. Each guys contract would be staggered, on top of that, how can you be sure you're gonna resign some of these core guys given their injury concerns. The Sixers are just betting the house that this core is it for them and considering how little they've shown and how many red flags they have...... yeesssssh.

Danny is an idiot. He just helped the Sixers build a dynasty for the next 10 years.

Not only he gave them Fultz, but with that protection on the SAC pick, Philly can draft the BPA at the 2 spot in 2019 and they have a starting lineup that could be better than current Warriors in 6-7 years...

And this has nothing to do with what we do with the picks. IT'S A FACT, we just ruined our own dynasty and helped complete Sixers' own one.

Guess on the picks:

We get lower of Lakers and Sixers pick next year.

Kings pick in 2019 becomes Sixers 2019 and 2021 if top 3.

Sorry to hear that man, and thank you eternally for your service. But, I would wish you didn't see this as an end all be all move and have it affect your life. I used to do that and the amazing thing is, my life didn't change and I didn't change the outcome of what was happening. But, I get it, we are all passionate about stuff like this. But, it is so Ainge to trade the pick after we all have been waiting so long for the #1 pick. Guess we all shall see.


For me it's not the trading of the pick, it's the protections. That cannot happen. Either none or you don't get the player you want. It hurts trade value of those picks as well as your value. The best they could be is top 1 protected. My guess top 3 and that's crap. Makes those picks garbage. No one wants the 4th pic in the draft when most are top 2 or 3 deep.

Celtics get the #1 pick next year and everyone likes a particular player ends up trading for more picks to troll. My god we traded the #1 pick and the #1 talent. Not only Ainge should be fired but Stevens should be on the hotseat himself if Fultz turns into a superstar by agreeing to this trade.

I'm sick to my stomach.

If Ainge is wrong and Fultz is a star, he's going to be vilified in Boston for eternity.

It is hilarious even if he is Irving you need to find Lebron. Good luck with that.

Colangelo is the king of the treadmill

If their core fails and the Celtics win this trade in the future, BC is Billy King 2.0

With Fultz issues on defense, Any of us can play basketball at a gym or a park and if we can score but we can't get any stops on defense, our teammates will be mad. Its the same case whether your NBA player, college, international, high school, pickup basketball, etc. We all have to be able to play some defense
