Sixers officially acquire #1 pick per Woj and Aldridge. Will get Fultz

[LongLiveHinkie]

Any room for me to join the bandwagon? I'm a huge Fultz fanboy and I have family in Philly

Get in on the ground floor while you can. The Sixers right now are Jeff Bezos selling books out of his garage about to become Amazon.com.

i really want to celebrate like most of you guys, but im not sure what we get with fultz. its not like he is embiid special and there is absolute no doubt he is THE guy. fultz has bust potential, so i cant celebrate til he proves he isnt a bust

for the record. i dont see any bust potential with simmons, even if he never develops a jumper. but i see it with fultz..

I think we already have 2 potentially transcendent talents in Embiid and Simmons. Most teams would never be lucky enough to even get one of those sort of guys.

Fultz doesn't have to be transcendent... he just needs to be a 3rd star for us to have Championship potential. Hell I don't care if he does nothing but shoots 3's like Klay... but I think Fultz has the potential to be very very good... he just doesn't need to a superstar for us to consider him not a bust. He compliments this team perfectly. I actually see a lot of Dwayne Wade in him.

Jackson beats women. He'll feel at home in Boston. Ahhh it feels great to finally be able to say that.

thats not good at all, lakers have a very high chance falling between 2 and 5 range next year. Kings actually don't look bad at all towards the end of season. And with 2 quality picks this year, plus 2018 one...Kings will likely be late lottery team at worst.

All depends on how that 3rd pick plays out. if the Celtics have to take Ball or Issac we win this trade easily. If Jackson is still there well then I don't like it as much.

I don't really get this at all from the C's perspective. I mean I was fine playing Russian Roulette with the pick because there wasn't much of a choice but the C's didn't need to trade down. This seems like a lot of risk for note enough reward.

Maybe they can sign Matt Barnes too so he can mentor Jackson.

[Simmons25]

I guess barring injury we probably have 3 of the starting 5 for next year's Rookie/Sophomore All-star game. Maybe 4 if Saric gets picked

This team is now crazy young and talented.

I'll be the first to admit I expected BC to give up a whole lot more, so he certainly deserves some credit here, and this is coming from a bigtime Hinkie fan with no love for the Colangelo's. This is a great deal for both teams. Now we have to hope LA wins the lottery next year and the Kings greatly improve to give Boston a late first in 2019.

This was the best Twitter weekend since the Cliff Lee mystery team.

And good for Bodner being first on the protections. That dude works hard.

[HeadEast76]

Not a good enough deal - unless the Kings pick transfer (which i'd guess is 65%+ likely) is protected also.

[CoreyGallagher]

There's no way that I can be upset, I expected that the Lakers' pick was at the very least going to be unprotected.

[Leronziia]

Great trade to only give up one additional first round pick, and decent protection on it.

The bandwagon around here is about to blow up.

I'm really high on josh. But it was a bad fit.

fultz>josh>ball

[51X3RF4N]

Don't forget, we still have loads of 2nd round picks, and Okafor, and Stauskas, and 2020 OKC 1st, and all of our own 1sts, and tons of cap space....all as trade pieces.


I wonder if BC might still trade back into the mid-late late 1st for another target they like.

yep he hasnt to be transcendent for the sixers to be successful. the point was, you dont sell the farm, which apparently isnt the case, for this kind of prospect.

This pretty much why there's this deal

[Skates]

Jackson better hope Jojo doesn't give him a lesson in Tweet punking someone. Being a Jayhawk may save Jackson's butt on that one.
