I am PRAYING the Lakers fall out of the top 3, and Philly picks up their pick.
I think Philly would throw an all-in type of trade offer at us for #1 or #2 to have Fultz or Ball
Say the Lakers fall to 4, and Philly stays around the 5-8 range.
We offer #1 or #2 pick for #4, #7, Dario Saric, and Lawawu.
We can then take two of Isaac, Tatum, Jackson, Smith, Monk, Giles, etc.
Isaac is starting to look like a KD-lite type of player. Totally worth the trade down from Fultz, especially considering every hypothetical dream trade is having the Celtics go after an athletic, scoring wing.
Not happening. No way Ainge adds the 4 players you suggest(all rookies and 2nd year players) to 3 other rookies(Yab, Zizic and Nader) and 2 other 2nd year players(Brown and Jackson). We are not in full rebound mode.
Cut Jackson, Young and Mickey. Nader, whatever. Stash Yab for another year, I think he needs it regardless. Thomas, Horford, Bradley, Crowder, Smart, Rozier, Brown, Olynyk, Jackson, Isaac, Zizic, Saric, Luwawu. You can still keep Jerebko and Johnson for veteran backups and have a veteran core with a talented young bench.
I doubt you'd get that much for Fultz/Ball, but I'd certainly do it.
