S.A.S is the only one who has said that pretty much.

Seems VERY likely they take Fultz.

And if they wanted Jackson, he would have been there at #3 anyways, or I'm sure PHI could have traded up with LAL at #2 if they wanted.

No. That's when they had #3.

Sorry.

Fwiw, Steven A worked in philly for years before going national.

Smith's comments sounded quite speculative based on general 'buzz' around Josh Jackson and not with any specific inside information on Philly's intentions.   He also said they may want to take Fultz (now he's covered both bases).   It will make me physically sick if the Lakers end up with Fultz.

They are taking Fultz period.

Almost certainly.  There was no need to give up a 1st rounder.  They are taking Fultz.  The pic with Embiid and Simmons is out there.

Sometimes I feel like they just like to hear themselves talk.  LOL.

The ironic thing is that we would be better off if Fultz/Ball went 1/2, because this means the Knicks would be more open to dealing Porzingis because they reportedly love Josh Jackson.

That is a ridiculous statement by SA, and he is awful.

I thought Philly already confirmed they were taking Fultz?

They haven't officially, because that's Adam Silver's privilege, but they had Fultz in for a workout, and when it was over told the media that they had made a trade for the first pick before they officially called the Celtics to say the deal was done.  I think we can all put two and two together.

The way this offseason has gone so far I would not be remotely surprised.

Okay, I'd still be surprised.

I would laugh so hard if Fultz ends up there at #3 and Ainge passes on him.
