Lowe: Trade essentially agreed to 1 for 3 and one future first

[cltc5]

Yep.  Just heard Done deal!!! Yeeeees!  We're guaranteed ball or Jackson.  Both better than fultz!

[cltc5]

Danny wants a wing not a guard. He probably does not believe in stockpiling players at the same position.

Yup, and that is why he is going to take another wing player who cannot shoot at No 3 one year after he drafted Brown. 

Rationalization much?

Brown played a lot at the two.  Easy to slide him there and crowder to the 4.  Jackson at the 3

[dreamgreen]

At face value this is a horrible trade proposal. Perhaps in a year or 5 Danny looks brilliant but right now I want his head. I like Danny and have a lot of faith in him but a move like this is putting his job on the line.

Well, no. Crowder is not a PF.

Also, folks who think you can easily put Brown at ST but not Fultz display SERIOUS confirmation bias.

Well neither is marcus smart but there he was.  Crowder posts up better and can be shooting big in this rotation.  He's stronger on the block than olynyk with a better offensive production.  Easy fit

You may want to watch Tatum's highlights and see if he can shoot or not.

Spending 5 situational minutes at PF does not a PF make. If he was such an easy for he would have started there last season.

Just not going to happen.

I'll say this about Ainge: The man does not care what you think. He's got some stones that's for sure. Like big ones.

This is a massive deal. If it goes right, he'll look like a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing genius. Jackson "could" be a super star and he might be able to make a splash in FA/trades. But it has the potential to completely backfire in his face and he could give Phily the best player in the draft and help make one of your division rivals a potential powerhouse in you division for the considerable future.

No pressure Danny.

For gods sake. This is a living nightmare. This would be (I don't want to say "will be") Danny's worst move, hopefully his last as our GM.

Why don't all you guys who feel the same way make a pledge not to post here again until Ainge is fired? Be bold. Take a stand with some skin in the game.

I'm not sure what you mean. I don't think that this move will actually get him fired, because the guys available at 3 are still decent, just not great prospects like Fultz is.

Also not sure how much Ainge would really care that some select posters on an internet forum are not happy with his decisions. Plus, where else would I get to vent my frustrations 

It wouldn't be for Ainge's benefit, it'd be for ours. There's going to be nothing more annoying than fans like you calling for him to be fired. Please stop now.

It wouldn't be a proper draft, FA signing, trade deadline etc. without at least one "Fire Ainge" thread...
