Woj, Stein, & Lowe - C's and Sixers in serious talks for #1 pick

[Dino Pitino]

Apparently the C's front office thinks Fultz is overrated. If so, I trust their judgment and I hope we score an epic motherlode of draft value from Philly.

Not sure I buy it. At least we might get some real intrigue leading up to the draft!

Let the games begin!

If several picks includes #3, 2018 Lakers, AND 2019 Sacramento, I can be mollified, especially if it results in us having a little more cap this summer to more easily pursue a max player.  But it needs to be that big of a package.  I'm really set on Fultz at this point.

That's not enough. What are the odds we get #1 again? Not very high. My god, I can't believe he's going to do this.

Ainge doesn't lose trades.

I am not worried.

 Tp for the confidence. I wish I was that cool.

[Tr1boy]

Nice! This is what I wanted to see

[tarheelsxxiii]

Woj reporting it too. I'm going to be sick.

Yea, exactly what I did not want to hear.  Jackson seems redundant with Jaylen, and if Hayward is a serious FA candidate then things become really wonky.  I get the allure of being so long and Jackson is talented, but I'm missing Fultz's shortcomings and/or lack of fit.

That's pretty much where I am. Lottery picks are nice, but I think I'd still prefer Fultz.

Well, he was willing to trade 4 firsts to the Hornets for #9 (Winslow).

[Ilikesports17]

Simmons and 3 or bust.

That's where I'm at but if they offer that Lakers pick I would be willing to stay on the phone.

Look, if Jackson actually has a promise at #2 and Ainge is angling for Lonzo then I'm more on board. But if Danny is doing this for Josh freaking Jackson...I'm in panic mode.

Well, two years ago he was willing to trade 4 firsts to the Hornets for #9.

Well he didn't so.....

This actually would give us more cap room to go after Hayward or Blake.

#3 and next years Lakers or 76ers 1st is my guess

Just a reminder that fans who say this now would've probably said the same thing in 1980 when Red traded the opportunity to draft the super-hyped Joe Barry Carroll at #1. Don't be that fan. Trust in Danny.

Big downgrade for me from the #1 pick to #3. Was told Ainge looking for a "Brooklyn type fleece" to get deal done. Let's see if that happens

Encouraging, I guess.
