Kawhi Thread, Numero 4 -- Traded to Raptors for DeRozan, others

Ainge hasn’t drafted any all star players in his 15 years running the club. Has he? It’s just the nature of the nba of how nba drafts works. Maybe Tatum/Brown will be all stars in the future. So unless sac pick is top 2-3 in weak 2019 draft. Chances are. Ainge isn’t gonna to get anyone good.

You're already prepared to say that to be better than Fultz, a player has to become an all star? Because I'm not.

No, what I'm saying is Ainge draft history over the past 15 seasons is ho hum. NBA draft are a crap shot with many busts in general. Ainge is a great GM in terms of trades/acquitions though.

Yikes, were still doing this? **** are you a bad troll.

I love the false equivalences this Sixers fan is trying to peddle...

How was Jaylen Brown’s situation similar to Fultz’s? Did he forget how to shoot? Did he only play 14 games due to an incredibly murky situation that his current trainer insinuated was solely a mental issue? Did he never play again in the playoffs after his coach benched him for a few games? Did Fultz subsequently play every playoff game? Did he ever flash as well as Jaylen did in the playoffs against the best player of the last 20 years? Why should Jaylen Browns outlier growth from year 1 to 2 be applied to Fultz?

Stop. Just seriously stop. Youre making a fool out of yourself on an audience who doesnt give one **** about Fultz.

If Sixers fans think they have it bad right now, just imagine the **** show if Ainge somehow manages to draft a player with next year's Kings pick that ends up being better than Fultz.

Lol. You wanna know why? Because Ainge is always picking in the 20s because his teams are always, you know, good. I don't think it's a coincidence that as soon as he starts drafting in the top five, he plucks a couple of All-Stars in Tatum and Brown.

I know 76ers fans have difficulty understanding success, so do you need a translator?

Up until Embiid, Ainge drafted better outside of the lottery than you guys did in the top 5-10.

Rondo was a 4-time All-Star, btw. That's as many appearances as your entire franchise has had in the past 12 seasons.

He drafted Rondo.

Rondo wasn't drafted by Ainge, he was drafted by Phoenix than traded.

He was clearly drafted by Ainge, who traded in to get him.

Stop this. You are uninformed and a bad thinker.

That beating the Celtics gave the 76ers in the playoffs hurt Philly fans so, so badly because it proved that their team was light years behind ours. They thought they were better than us and then they went and lost to us sans Kyrie and Hayward while their team was completely healthy lol. It's funny to watch.

Embiid was not healthy. He could barely see with the mask and was clearly bothering him. I wouldn't call losing 3 games in the final 20 seconds being light years ahead. Sixers just didn't execute down the stretch and Boston did.

Once again, you don’t see Celtics fans flocking to the sixer board to defend their team. Why is that?

We are all literate enough to read the quotes in your own post. CFSB posted, "If Sixers fans think they have it bad right now, just imagine the **** show if Ainge somehow manages to draft a player with next year's Kings pick that ends up being better than Fultz." Then you responded, "Ainge hasn’t drafted any all star players in his 15 years running the club."

Clearly Embiid’s mask was a bigger hurdle than us being without Kyrie and Hayward.

What’s the reason for you? Because we are better or because we are older? How came the old Horford was sufficient to beat the two Megastars featured in the Sixers?

[ddb]

Are the Celtics still in this? Doesn’t seem like it to me. This thread is history.

Danny is ALWAYS in it. But his urgency to get a deal done, especially with LeBron out west, is pretty low I'd imagine. So unless Kawhi changes his mind and decides that Boston is a place he would resign, then the likihood of a deal between Boston and San Antonio is low. But Danny is ALWAYS in it.

I get it. I'd be mad as well if my teams offseason hinged on watching Simmons and Fultz learn how to shoot a jump shot. Good times. Now go home and get your shine box.

You lost in 5 to a team missing two top 15-20 players.

What about the Boston didn't have Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward don't you understand? We only had Haywood for 5 mins so no idea how much we missed him but with Irving Boston is so much better offensively especially on the road that it is night and day. Irving is one of the 10 best players in the league and probably one 5 best offensive players. We got bye with Rozier but he is like 20% of Kyrie Irving.

Why do people acknowledge kuclas? His posting is the equivalent of watching Ben Simmons against a good defense, just ugly and a few points that don't matter.

If you ever search my posts. I'm not high on Simmons as some sixers fans are. And I think Fultz is a better fit than Simmons with Embiid.

No one's drafted better in recent years.

Ainge and staff have been nailing the draft for a while. Tatum, Brown, and Rozier were optimal picks at their spots; no player better was taken afterwards which is incredible. The later picks in the 2016 draft were used on internationals to keep cap space clear for a run at free agents. Smart was picked 6th and was about the best guy available among the top prospects (no one was picking Jokic or Capela there).

This year's pick looks very promising.

Plus with Tatum they got an extra pick in 2019, but hold the celebration until that position is determined. No need to drop the confetti prematurely.

Hayward would eat into Tatum's minutes. Tatum is not a good enough ball handler to play the 2 slot. So if Haywood was healthy, he would have hinder Tatum's development/minutes. Boston overpaid for Hayward who is a one time fringe all star and coming off a major injury.

I do agree Rozier is 20% of Kyrie Irving. Rozier is over-rated and Boston is trying to sell high on him to the sucker Spurs. Spurs aren't taking the bait since they have a better and younger guard already. I do love Kyrie's offensive game.

Tatum started next to Gordon Hayward at the 4. Jaylen Brown plays the 2. You have no idea what you’re talking about. What point are you trying to prove on the Celtics board. The sixers aren’t in the Celtics league and both fan bases know it
