All Things #1 Pick 2017 Take 2

Oh yeah. And trading the #3 and further assets for Butler isn't fireworks. Most were laughing at that idea on the deadline. Man, hopefully there's some deal lined up for a star no one sees coming, but I think it will be Butler.

Josh Jackson or trading for Butler...

Trading 3 for 5 and 10 would be the worst though. Going from a stud at #1 to couple role players when this team is screaming for star quality would be such an underwhelming draft night.

Guys Ainge just pulled off the best preemptive trade in NBA history. I can feel it. Just be patient.

Still........ I mean, common on.... That's a ridiculous haul.

It is a good deal. How good depends on the Sac. protection, and the follow up trade(s).

Seems reasonable, who the heck would want the 1st pick?

sixers238 wrote:Sixers fan in peace here...I think the main takeaway from this is that Ainge has decided to win-now rather than compete in 2-4 years. Like others have said, if he was really targeting Jackson, then he would have waited until draft night for this move to make sure JJ was there.

On the plus for you guys, at least it's settled which direction the team is headed. You guys will probably acquire 2 of Butler/Hayward/George/Griffin before the season starts (all players who are just entering their prime). Time will tell how the trade turns out for both teams.

Which would be great if KD wasn't a Warrior and Lebron was several years older. We're just working our way into 2nd or 3rd place for several years before entering mediocrity again. Gonna be embarrassing for Ainge if we suck in 4-6 years after accomplishing nothing and you guys are competing in the playoffs.

Kind of funny how our society is today. It's much like the marshmallow test from the 60s. Everyone wants instant gratification. Nobody wants to wait. Simple, but interesting.

Does anybody hates Danny Ainge as much as I do now?? Hated this traded, Jesus. That protection on Sacramento pick was a **** move.

Does Fultz stand alone in this draft? I say no. I love this trade.

liveod · Post #1031 » by **liveod** » Sun Jun 18, 2017 2:45 am

Fultz is overhyped. Let's be honest.

This is not about Fultz or Jackson.

I think Adam Silver mandated that. Doesn't wanna see the 19 draft being made a mockery of as well.

right because I'm sure he's making any trade of the #1 pick behind ownership's back and when they find out OH NOES!!

Lol at people getting mad at this haul...

The way Woj framed that tweet makes it unclear if the Sac pick or both picks gave protections. If the LA pick has any protection, Ainge should be fired on the spot.
