very upset until I took another look at Tatum's highlight video.

So I can see him trading down for Tatum and some more consideration from Philly.

i think we must have saw the same video ...my exact reaction too..LOL......Tatum looked fit, big  and strong as a mule .....able to do alot of hard work , take punishment inside and dish it out ....while having a good court IQ ..... He has Stevens written all over him. 

But that shiney new Ferrari Fultz .....is awful tempting .....in Celtic green trim.

when i heard Ball working out for 76 ers

That comes from possibility Celtics NOT taking Fultz ,  instead taking Jackson or Tatum with first.

Ball must not have a Laker deal wrapped 100 %

Lakers might be going to take Fultz over Ball if Celtics pass ......his actions might indicate this possibly

This could leave Ball way out in the cold ,   he could fall several,places.  Better to have somebody want you .....as a plan B
The idea of Fultz running around in the purple and gold sickens me.

This!!!!   If the Lakers get Fultz and he turns out to be a superstar, that would be the worst case scenario.   I am sickened that the Lakers for the third straight year have bested the odds and got the #2 pick, but will be sickened further if they end up with the consensus #1 talent.

If C's love Tatum or Jackson -- make a deal with Philly.  I think it's a good enough bet that LA will take Ball if Fultz isn't on the board.  If DA and CBS love Tatum or Jackson it's worth it to see what they can pull out of Philly.   How about the #3 plus the worst of 2018 Philly or Lakers pick for Fultz.

Yeah, if you read my ORIGINAL POST here, I made this thread because I had a dream that Fultz was dominating with the Lakers, after Ainge DID NOT draft Fultz (took someone else).  :laugh:

i have a hard time visualizing Fultz in a Laker uniform as well .  I think Fultz is more of a strict student of the game like IT and Brown ....less of. showboat mentality.   

my nightmare of Fultz is his knees .   I keep pinching myself ..wakeup ..LOL

I would be inconsolable. I'd probably storm out of the Barclay's center, promptly after boo'ing for 10 minutes. I would then go to the shake shack across the street and binge eat burgers till I pass out.

Fultz is the exact kind of player we have been waiting for to help us towards the end of the games and take pressure of IT. No more double's on IT if we have another lights out shooter as another option. I do not want anyone not named Fultz in first position. Only a trade for Davis would I ever consider and this as likely as us discovering martians living under the red planet. Really upset for sure!

I'd be really upset if he drafted Tatum, WITHOUT trading down to do it.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Trading down is probably not an option. It takes two sides to make a trade.

Where's the "Not upset at all because I trust Ainge than any CBers" option?

Not happy. Shaken.

Keep the pick and draft Fultz, don't over think this.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

In what world is Fultz not the perfect player for Philly? We would get an additional, significant asset in addition to the #3 in a trade with Philly (or anybody else). Don't tell me nobody is calling Danny about acquiring the #1 unless your comment infers that Danny is the one not willing to move the pick, which is actually quite likely.

As others have said, though, I really hope he just keeps the pick and takes Fultz.

I guess the 2nd option.

i think we must have saw the same video ...my exact reaction too..LOL......Tatum looked fit, big  and strong as a mule .....able to do alot of hard work , take punishment inside and dish it out ....while having a good court IQ ..... He has Stevens written all over him. 

But that shiney new Ferrari Fultz .....is awful tempting .....in Celtic green trim.

Thinking.... what if Tatum is another Giannis?
