All Things #1 Pick 2017 Take 2

[The Corey's]

Wait is it #3, LAL18, Sac19 no protections?????

You **** wish

[Dominator83]

some of you guys are nuts on here. Ainge getting the LAL pick to move down 2 spots when he didn't want the guy at #1 is a steal in itself. Anything to do with that SAC pick is a bonus

Passing on Fultz to pick anyone else is pure stupidity. If he doesn't think he's the best prospect then he's in a small minority.

I could be wrong, but to me Danny Ainge is kind of like the Theo Epstein of the NBA. Hes the guy that i would never want to trade with because he never loses. and if hes trading you a top prospect, theres probably a reason for it. Im jealous of you guys

[ShermansShoes]

LOL at all of you who are sh**ing on Ainge, the very same man who got you the pick in the first place. Some of you need to sit down before you fall down.

Past performance doesn't give you carte blanche to be a complete moron. These trades NEVER work out especially in today's NBA. This will be looked upon in 20 years as Ainge Folly. His clock just hit midnight.

It most certainly does. Just because a guy on RealGM says it's moronic does not make it so. When you deliver a championship, then fleece another franchise to build the future, then build an Eastern Conference finals team from stuff you find in a couch, call us.

sac pick is protected per WOJ.

Magnum thins or decreased sensitivity??

[Romeiro Celtic]

That trade was a coward ass move by Ainge, Jesus. The guy can't stand still, he needs to keep trading everything all the time

Anthony davis godfather offer?

[Jaqua92]

I'm not a moron, therefore I don't need any insight. I get it. Once again, sarcasm is lost. Maybe I should have clarified it to the non-mobile posters

Seems like extremely subtle sarcasm, and a thoughtful reply by Jaqua?

Didn't mean to offend dude. Sarcasm sometimes is best when subtle, at least in person, online, not so much. Trust me, I get the whole mobile thing. My apologies if I seemed "dickish."

Haha pfft no love lost. I thought I offended YOU. As you and I said, hard to convey intent over text. Not a worry at all. Im too busy enjoying beers and a burger at chillis

[StojkoVrankovic]

I never learn. Danny has taught us to never be inlove with a player.

He traded Paul Pierce and KG, he traded Rondo, he could possibly trade IT in the near future.
And now, he traded a player that most of us fell for even before wearing green.

He traded Paul pierce when he was thirty five and washed up, stfu

Chill out dude jeez. Cs fans loved 25 PP just as much as 35 years old PP.

Ah great, the Pierce bat signal just went up.

[Green89]

I'm not reading this as protection only on the Kings pick.

Same thing I was thinking. Woj's tweet kind of read like it was on both the LA and Sac.

[Jakeopp]

Fultz never stood alone for me. Ever.

I truly wanted Josh Jackson from the start, that being said, once we got the #1 pick I talked myself into Fultz hard.

However, I'm now fully talking myself into the LAL 2018 1st.

Doncic, Ayton, Bemba? Yes please.

You think the Lakers will be that bad next year?

Why wouldn't they be? They're horrendous. They almost passed the Nets this year. Nothing really changes for them.

I don't mind the trade insofar as we're rebuilding. But...

1) Doing it right now, and not on draft night, doesn't make sense to me.

2) I'd like to see Ainge follow up a move like this with a concerted effort towards rebuilding. Flipping picks for some 2nd tier "win now" player would be very disappointing.

They're adding Lonzo and their young guys should improve, and many people seem to think they were tanking last year. No motivation to lose now.

[D1SGRUNTL3D]

One thing tho, post trade...is if LAL take Josh Jackson...then...

[canman1971]

Does the word protection mean anything to you? Those picks are near worthless.

It didn't mean anything to your parents, and you seemed to turn out OK Come on man, relax and let the process play out.

Not really time to joke around. Look at those picks he already has outside of BKN. Top 7 protected. Top 15 protected. Garbage. Complete garbage.

Life's too short man; it's always time to joke around.

[nymets1]

How are you guys doing now? Are you ready for Josh Jackson? I don't think the Celtics are asking for Offense out of JJ in his rookie year, after rookie year maybe. I think the Celtics want JJ to guard the best player on the opposing team. I think it would be a really great move for the Celtics if JJ focuses 100% of his energy on defense. I wanna see how JJ can fare on defense against Durant and Lebron in particular.

[Celts17Pride]

Ainge is putting his reputation on the line. He is 1000% sure.

No he isn't. He is regarded as one of the top GM's and maybe even more so after this trade.

By the way, Danny Ainge doesn't care what everyone thinks.

[Marvel]

Bingo

Just what the team needs. A vet. Vet means old. Vet means someone who will do nothing for this team and age quickly.

Vet meaning someone like Butler or George. I just don't think it's going to be either of those two. It will be someone we didn't see coming

Please **** no to Blake, Gallo.

[FuriousRiles]

ESPN reporting it as done deal. No details though.

Celtics probably won't even be keeping the #3 pick

Again, past performance. He got cocky this time around. It all came to a head and he f-ed up. He was so DESPERATE he took picks with protections that I bet are top 3. Be my guess. That's how cocky he is. He's trying to be Red and BB all in one and the glass slipper doesn't fit anymore.

Young guys don't win in the NBA. That is a pretty simple concept to understand. Ask Philly, Minny, etc...

[Almeida]

If both picks have protections it looks like a terrible deal, regardless of us keeping them or not.
