And that team still gets its head caved in by the Cavs and GSW. As long as they are rolling with IT they have no shot imo. He's just too major a defensive liability in the playoffs.

BTW I'm fine with that trade.

I'm good with that, not really a huge Jackson fan, though I like him.

Most likely, Boston takes Fultz, Lakers take Ball, and we take Jackson/Tatum,so what looks better as a more balance team?

Bayless. Fultz
TLC. TLC
Jackson/Tatum Covington
Simmons Simmons
Embiid. Embiid

It seems that Fultz really compliments our other players. Fultz would be a great playmaker that opens things up for Simmons to pick apart. Anyway, the price is steep, but the reward could be great. 3 young stars we could keep together for many years.

Complicated protection is the way.

I would be alright with this.

I'd give BC positive credit for this.

I'd say that's very optimistic for us, but it'd be the only way I can feel okay about multiple picks. I love the idea of a consolidation trade, I do not love Jackson/Ball for Markelle Fultz+a top-5 pick+another pick. (It just gets worse every time I write it).

If the Lakers pick is top 3 protected I would feel a lot better about this. The 2021 pick of ours is obviously no big deal.

If we made this trade though it is so much more than what the Kings got for Cousins.

He's not even the best prospect in this class. I'd be shocked if he wound up the best player in this class. Look at this weak ass drive. He barely gets the ball in the rim on this dunk. Look how slow he looks. No burst. He's just herky jerky and people confuse that with great athleticism. Please. This guy is going to have a steep learning curve. He will struggle to get his shot off. And then you just have followers who just pile on and say how great Fultz is. This guy is not a guy you trade up for let alone give up multiple first round picks. I'm furious.

This has to be agreed upon pending physical/medical, right?

I'm all for getting Fultz...don't mind trading the Lakers pick and a 2021 pick.....but I would rather trade down and get the 5th and 10th pick.

Could be bad if the deal isn't done, lol.

Oh man I want to temper my expectation because I am afraid this deal will fall through. But the lineup of Embiid, Simmons, Fultz, and Saric get me so hype lol.

Dude Celtics board is on suicide watch.

90% of us don't wanna do it. There's gotta be something else going on.

I don't like that that was tweeted by Embiid unless the deal is assuredly happening, which I'm still skeptical that it is. This just ramps up the pressure.

The reports of protections on top of that are shocking to me. That plus the fact that this is Ainge vs BC, it shouldn't be this close to favorable for the Sixers.

Cousins is due for a big contract next summer and he's had some negative value across the league of not being a good teammate. Getting someone like Fultz at 19 and you have 7 possible years of team control with him is pretty substantial.

I don't get why their board is on suicide watch, the Woj report is plenty fair value. Jackson and Ball are excellent players and Jackson probably fits better. Also the Lakers pick gives them a chance at a stud big man next year, which is easily their biggest need. Or they have more ammo for Butler.
