Unless Fultz busts, this is horrible.

Or if the guy we draft at 3 turns out to be better than Fultz.

If we don't have a trade lined up after this............ it will be extremely hard to accept.

Obviously that isn't their assessment of the players.

Lebron and Duncan prospects are transcendent, Fultz is not

I'll settle for questionable prospects who were consensus number 1 picks by the draft like john wall and kat. That's the type of players going number 1.

So you're still convinced that the no.1 picks Oden, Rose, Griffin, Irving and Wiggins are the best players out of their draft?

And KAT looks like a good prospect, but Porzingis is right behind him and he plays much better D than him. Time will tell.

I don't think No. 3 is gonna be a slouch. I want Ball. Lol.

Boy, if I'm Fultz, I'm not too sure I feel confident about myself. Ainge just cast him aside like, "meh, your ok, but no better than the rest."

He had no interest in Fultz. That is what this tells me.

This is what people hate about this forum. You aren't even addressing the possibility that Ainge having no interest in Fultz is a bad thing. I'm not one of the people mad about the trade, but come on.

All this trade tells me is that Ainge wanted Jackson all along. Just a very disappointing outcome after getting the first- pick.

MJ was drafted at 3.

And one of the best athletes in the draft. Smart was never a great athlete

I'll be stunned if the Lakers don't take Ball regardless of what has been said recently. We're getting yet another SF type.

I would say that I want to see this pick flipped for Butler but then they'd have to match salary so the Bulls would be getting quality players along with the #3 pick.

Yup, it looks like there are no next moves after all. Ainge just wanted Jackson/or whoever more than Fultz.
