Feelings about the trade

[Alleyoopster]

At the moment I'm at option 1. That could change over the course of the week.

I feel Danny made a huge mistake in trading Fultz to Philly and taking too much of a gamble that the pick will turn out in his favor.

After watching the Warriors play, it's obvious you need shooters to win an NBA Championship. Fultz seemed to have all the tools. 

Sure hope I'm wrong.....

I really like Fultz, and am not impressed with Josh Jackson. I'm trying to talk myself into being #2, but I need to know who we pick. Also, we got a bad return on the deal. Should get both future picks.

Trying to slowly turn myself around to it, but my immediate response was disgust. Not impressed.

Bold bold move my Danny.  I'm in the neutral camp because we simply don't know what will follow.  Wish he could have gotten more but if Danny keeps the picks and thinks he can get good value at #3, I'm okay with it.  Bottom line is that I hope he's right. 

As for Fultz, mentioned earlier that I thought fans were overrating him.  Of course, that turns into a war of extreme sides.  I don't man that at all; just that Fultz is not s generational talent and just a little above average as far as #1 picks go.

I will be surprised if the sun rises tomorrow.

I don't like that he may have created the next Super Team that happens to be in his own division and won't be going anywhere for the next decade.

Absolutely atrocious trade. The odds of us finding a prospect as good as Fultz with either pick seem thin.

[Celtics18]

Still undecided, but I'll be thrilled if we draft and keep Josh Jackson.  I'm hoping that's the plan. 

I could probably get behind Ball or Tatum as well if Jackson somehow goes second.

[PAOBoston]

Neutral. I don't know what the end game is yet.

I'll say this: I admire Ainge's conviction. Truly does what he believes is best and doesn't care about fan reaction. This is a pretty big move. Takes cajones to make a decision like that, regardless if it works out or not.

[Greyman]

Not happy but happy to let a few more dominos fall to see what DA's overall plan is. Is this more of a contend now rather than later option or will it not effect that debate at all?

Oden      Horford

Davis       Beal
Bennett      Porter
Wiggins      Embiid
Towns      Okafor

last 10 years of number one vs number 3's in the draft prior to this year (i exculded it on the basis that simmons vs brown is too early to figure out). My count is 7 to 3 in favor of the number ones, not sure we got enough, time will tell.

Liberty Ballers are rejoicing and saying that this was a "highway robbery" to strip us of our #1 pick and not giving the Celtics Jahlil Okafor

Danny knows what he is doing...

Alot of people hated the Brown pick...look how that turned out

Danny will add sharpshooters in other ways

[goCeltics]

also bust factor (with respect to expections) with seems to be higher with wings and forwards then guards, also worrying.
