Sixers and Celtics in serious talks about potential trade involving #1 pick

[heatwillbeback]

Yea I just don't understand why Boston will want more assets they won't ever use.

Stop collecting and do something.

[Brauer]

Guys it's going to be #3, '18 Lakers and' 19 Kings pick. Im okay with that to be honest. The timeline and trio of Fultz/Simmons/Embiid is more secure than reaching for someone and hoping for an extra piece.

[sogood]

Have a feeling Sixers is about to get bent over Billy King style.

[duke714]

Never never never ever trade with Danny he bends people over!

[Renegade_H]

Ainge will want either Embiid or Simmons + The 3rd pick, Ainge always gets the better end of the deal

I am thinking more like #3, Lakers pick, Sacramento pick or a Philly pick. I would love to get Saric but no players have been mentioned yet.

If BC gives up this much, and I'm genuinely worried that this is about what's being offered, Sixer fans are going to lose it. I would prefer Fultz over Jackson or Ball, but not at that price.

So MCW, pick swap and 3rd overall for Markelle Fultz? Yeah Im ALL IN.

That would complete our core for the next 9 years. Free Agents would say yes to PHI. The Process would be over and the Progress to Playoffs would begin next year.

Philly all in.

Ainge is pulling a Hinkie, while keeping their team as Conference contenders. I think it's pretty smart for him.

[RaptorsLife]

Fultz fits perfectly with Sixers.

This draft is deep. Those Sixers 2nd round picks are like first round picks in other draft. They can find talent there and still have there own first round picks

No need to horde picks. If the piece fits and he has superstar talent

that's terrible. 2 picks should be more than enough. Fultz is not a can't miss prospect to warrant that.

[MC3]

Everybody wants to be Sam Hinkie. But nobody wants to hire a Sam Hinkie.

[Crooked-I]

No way Ainge does this trade without both the Lakers and Kings pick. This is the type of move that can make him look like the biggest dummy on earth, he's gonna want as many assets as possible to mitigate that risk.

lol if thats the deal I will delete my account and never come back.

And if that isn't the trade, i'll just admit i'm wrong and forget about it in 10 minutes lol.

I'm sorry, did you say "conference contenders"?

[MR28]

Wasn't it already put out that it'll likely be #3 and a futures Sixers 1st? If BC spends in FA that pick might not be in the lottery.

If he bends you over then Angie is the #1 GM in the league...

[Asif16]

Celtics gotta spend all these future assets sometime right? RIGHT?

lol what they gonna do with all these assets

I duno I think you need some insurance if Embiid goes down. Must keep the Lakers pick or the Sac pick.

By far the best in this draft.

Seems like the Celtics are about to do what most of us RealGM posters have been dreaming abuot and doing it that way....

it's smart, be competitive and have assets. in 2019 Lebron will be almost 35 and they be drafting a possible star in the top 5. Also means they can let guys like Bradley go if they demand too much.

They may want as many picks as possible to get Buttler
