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

[esel1000]

I'm sick of future picks... it's pointless. You get picks for a chance at a guy like Fultz. If DA absolutely fleeces the Sixers then fine but if this is for #3 and one future first (even the Lakers) it's a bad, bad trade

[csfansince60s]

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.

I like that package.

Throw in their second which is just before ours and their first next year and we're good.

Ainge doesn't lose trades.

I am not worried.

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

Well he didn't so.....

According to rumors, the C's would do it but the Hornets said no.

[TA9]

Great, lets draft another guy who can't shoot.

[mqtcelticsfan]

No, no, no, no, no. How many Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing picks do we need? We got the exact result that a number of picks is designed to get you already.

[JOMVP]

I am gonna be sick hearing this stuff. Ainge will make the biggest mistake of his life if he doesnt just pick Fultz and be done with it.

[max215]

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.

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.

I'm saying this because I've seen all of these guys play. Fultz better have spaghetti for knees or Danny better be getting a Brooklyn-level fleecing.

[Kuberski33]

So basically we let the Sixers build an ultra super team going forward because.....future draft picks? My goodness

I doubt it because C's have to compete with Sixers moving forward.  Have a feeling this leaked out because Danny's trying to up the offer for #1 to see if any better offers come in.

[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.

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

Although it would help in that aspect, it could also create issues from a personnel standpoint.  I see Jaylen as more of a 3 at this point, though, while others envision him at the 2.  For that to happen, I think he's going to have to develop quite a bit to look like Butler did early on (but at age 23). 

[dwlefty13]

I guess Ainge caught cold feet.

[PhoSita]

I may actually vomit.

[rondohondo]

What if Danny is looking to trade the#3 overall for PG13 , while picking up another good pick from philly?

Maybe indy loves Jackson?

[CELTICSofBOSTON]

According to sources.. Markelle Fultz was supposed to have one last meeting with Boston tomorrow.  Now, he is headed to Philly.

Very concerning.

I'd only consider Ben Simmons + #3

[Roy H.]

The funniest thing is that the deal doesn't include Saric.

I'm serious, Simmons needs to be part of it. Simmons, #3, future first you have to do. Outside of something ridiculous like that it's a bad idea
