I don't see him leaving LA. But I just thought it was funny because all anyone can talk about is Hayward right now.

Read on Twitter

Sounds like their is some fire to this smoke. We should all pray Chris Paul takes less money and leaves for San Antonio.

We have plenty of "good" assets. We need a great one and that isn't coming from trading down.

Guys like Okafor and Saric don't do much for our championship aspirations.

They do if Danny feels he can get a great player at 3 too. I'm not advocating trading the pick. But if Danny think Jackson will be as good as Fultz, it makes sense to add those assets to our weak front court.

Boston Celtics should focus on putting together a championship team, and not worry about can they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Golden state Warriors.Celtics has an opportunity to become championship team with the right moves so they shouldn't be afraid of competing with the Cavaliers and Warriors.

Imagine being like the Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns that are so far away from winning a championship that the thought of competing with the Cavaliers and Warriors hasn't crossed their mind not to talk winning a championship, or putting a roster that can.

The Celtics are in position to compete with both the Cavaliers ,and Warriors so don't waste it being afraid.Compete with them, and whatever happens happens.

Also, with this Blake/Griffin duo speculation, it begs the question, can Griffin guard Durant?

Not likely.

He doesn't have to. Paul George can guard Durant.

EDIT: I also haven't seen anything legit (yet) about any Griffin rumors, unless you consider Sherrod Blakely speculations legit.

Is it even possible to sign Griffin and trade for George? We would most likely need to decimate our team. Still don't want to give up the #1 pick for him either.

One major plus in stealing Griffin over Hayward is that the 2019 Clipper pick becomes much more valuable.

Not sure that's true. It's lotto protected and never becomes unprotected, just turns to 2nd rounders instead.

We want them to be worse, but not terrible.

Cavs should offer Love for him.

Ainge needs to just take Fultz.

That being said having seen what some fanbases, particularly Philly, are willing to give up for #1, I could see Danny being tempted to go for it all if he's soured on Fultz.

If you can trade back to #3 and get the LAL '18 pick and Saric, which a couple guys suggested they'd be willing to fork over. I can see Ainge being tempted if he's not sold on Fultz. He takes Jackson and then aims to turn one of the '18 picks (LAL or BKN), Saric and some of our other assets into an offer worthy of Butler or George (maybe not this summer, but potentially mid-season).

You come away with a top 3 prospect in this draft, a star player AND you've still got an strong '18 pick.

Would Bradley, Saric, Yabs, LAL '18, MEM '19 not be a decent starting point for trade discussions with IND or CHI?

Imagine landing Hayward in free agency, adding Jackson or Fox in the draft, trading for Butler or George during/mid-season?

Still though, just take Fultz. I'm just bored.

Not even close. Nobody has traded down from the top overall pick since Chris Webber and the cost to do that was far greater than any offer I've seen thus far on these forums

Assume Ainge is going to take someone other than Fultz/Ball just as a hypothetical, so it behooves us to trade back to #3 rather than waste #1 on them when they're still available at #3.

What is the package from Philly that you accept?

Simmons and the third pick. Nothing less

Yep. If Philly doesn't want to accept (they don't), then they don't get Fultz. I'm not trading our best asset for Philly's spare parts so they can build a dynasty.
