Fultz to me is Kobe lite. You don't pass that up under any scenario. I still want Blake or Hayward too

IT and AB are from washington like Fultz (and Crawford and some others) and apparently they all stick together. So there's that


He's from Hyattsville, MD, in Greater DC, and went to DeMatha.

JUST LIKE JOE FORTE.

Spoiler:
Red was super tight with DeMatha's legendary former coach, Morgan Wooten -- who in addition to Joe Forte, also coached Adrian Dantley, Danny Ferry, Keith Bogans and current Wiz assistant, Sidney Lowe.

Oladipo is also a DeMatha grad.

My example was just trying to figure out what you would possibly trade the pick for? The list has to be very, very short.

I wouldn't.







If the Spurs are trading with us, we are doing something wrong and should keep Fultz. Don't let them out smart us :lol: .

:lol:

That just means you don't follow enough people! :D

So what's your take? Do you take Fultz and not think twice or do you think you consider a trade for a vet? I'd puke if we traded this pick.


Depends on who the vet is. Butler or George (if he commits to staying), I'd probably trade it. But I am extremely risk adverse. I prefer the known quantity. And not like Butler or George is on their last legs or anything.

I'm also slightly worried that Fultz's UW team was so bad. They were horrendous and that makes me nervous. But he's still the pick at #1.

Zero interest in trading the pick for anything realistic.

Chicago and Indiana missed their chance for this pick. Maybe we can talk about '18.
