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

[GratefulCs]

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.

he got us this far

no need to doubt him

I'm so sick of future draft picks.

We get the number one pick, finally, in a draft with a consensus top guy, and we look to trade down?

Ugh.

Zach Lowe: In current parameters, BOS would receive several picks and no players, sources say. Have to think No. 3 would be involved. – via Twitter ZachLowe_NBA
 Draft, Trade, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers
 

Adrian Wojnarowski: Sources: Philadelphia is waiting on medical information on Markelle Fultz, but deep into talks on acquiring Boston’s No. 1 overall pick

You guys are looking at this all wrong lol. I feel better trading the #3 pick for someone like butler than the #1. So basically we would be trading #1 for #3, lakers 2018, sac 2019, right to swap with prolly 2010 and butler. Uhhhh we winning or no? Lol

Or get it and draft taytum and sign Hayward? Like so many options I like it.

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.

Go get them Danny!

#1 for #3 + Lakers 2018 + Sacramento 2019 + one more first

(assuming no players are involved)

Celtics still hold all the cards.  Fultz can meet with anyone he wants and C's can still take him.

More encouraging news:

Also was told that Josh Jackson's workout in LA "did not go well at all." Brought high energy but struggled with his shooting and handle.

I lkke those leaked stories....eveyone ia using the media to increase or lower the value of picks....if a nets offer comes he will take it... if not we take fultz

[Tr1boy]

Guessing

76ers - Fultz
Lakers - Ball
Celtics - Jackson

Or
Lakers - Jackson
Celtics - Ball

[tarheelsxxiii]

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

I can almost tolerate losing Fultz over this fact.

Yikes.  Haven't heard much about Tatum lately.  If Ball is the target, CelticsBlog may collapse.

From what i read only picks involved, no players from either side

Technically Simons is a pick , not a player yet. Right?

That it's just picks makes me think it's a smoke screen.  They don't need more picks and Philly figures to improve quite a bit next season.

Did we even had any workouts?? Other than Fultz ?

[GratefulCs]

the only thing that concerns me is that i could live with drafting fultz and him being a bust


but i don't know if i could live with passing up fultz if he becomes a superstar
