It's Fultz. 100%


You mean drafting Fultz and signing Hayward? :wink:

We lack a shot maker, shot creator outside of Thomas. Fultz wants to play for the Celtics. He knows Thomas and Bradley.

He will be the best fit IMO. Also most likely the best player in the draft but that's way to early to determine.

Good luck for the Celts. We've got a history of being porked by these things.

Fultz will make the maturation process of Jaylen much smoother, takes all the pressure off

Okay so I need some kind of reassurances on Fultz, I don't watch college BB any more so I have no clue really. I watched some highlights and I just watched an interview with him and I got a strange feeling like he's not the guy, not sure why, just a weird gut feeling. Can he get to the hoop as easy against NBA teams? Also, there was mention of injuries in College? I just wonder if this guy is really the real deal, take over a franchise type guy. Like does he have that IT factor?

I had a feeling this was the year for the turnaround on our luck.

You should check out the Sixers board, one guy said #3 + Okafor for #1

i see him as easily a #1 or #2 on a title team. more like a Kawhi type arc, starts off as a #4-#2 type player and can ascend to #1 over time barring trades of established players

Conspiracy theorists - let's hear your twisted logic as to why the Celtics didn't get ****. And then never speak of this nonsense again.

Amazing night.

Ooooo, I hope we don't trade this pick then. Would hate to take Butler or George and get owned by Cavs/Dubs and watch Fultz became a mega stud.

Fultz must be ****ing psyched. Doesn't get to start right away, but joins a team with great ownership, management, and coaching. And is already winning. Perfect scenario.

I don't really want to trade the pick but if I could get Davis or Kawhi I would. I would do Porzingis + 8 too. I need to be blown away to move it though. Draft Fultz and sign Hayward.

The conspiracy is the Lakers knew they were getting their pick this year.

I trust things much more without Stern.

But I love you guys. Now that we have it I am not okay with trading this pick.
