I'm so Glad Stevens and DA went with Tatum instead of Fultz. I wasn't a huge fan, but had started to warm up to him, but never felt right. I was more in the Jackson camp. But when Dicky V mentioned Tatum and he thought Boston would draft him, I started to check his games out and was perfectly fine with them drafting him. I was a bit concerned about his athleticism translating to the NBA but the kid can flat out Ball. And is playing solid in a tough system, in a tough media and fan town.

I'm wondering how Fultz would have handled it if he came to Boston.

I did like the quote about HAywards foot almost falling off and him being ready before Fultz, because it could be true. LOL

Remember when 95% of Celtics blog were calling for Danny's head for about a month after the trade?  ::)

Selectively quoting some fans to push a point is meaningless.  The Libertballers site isn't panicking.  Looks like the Sixers are putting the downtime to good use.  Coach Brown is holding the same classrooms sessions with Fultz like he did Simmons and they are also working on his diet and overall fitness.

I didn't selectively quote fans. I quoted every post from this page after the "fultz is healthy now" news broke :  https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1644743&start=220#start_here

If I could I would quote all 4 pages of the 76ers fans but got tired of copying and pasting
People who complain make a disproportionate share of noise.  There are plenty of posts on that thread calling out the complainers.  The complainers appear to have a collective intelligence just above moron.  I especially like the following hot take from one of them on natural shooters.  Like to see him tell Ray Allen or Reggie Miller that.   

bro, i respect your takes 99% (especially about embiid) but if you post in fultz-topics i always remember you are calling fultz a natural shooter. does a natural shooter needs shooting-practice? shootaround before the game is all a "natural shooter" needs.

No, I do not.  I think most everyone who wasn’t on board initially fell in love with Tatum pretty quickly once summer league stared.

Bargz or Fultz, which one of Colangelo's 1st picks will be better?  ;D
EDIT: Bargz is leading so far.

I find your lack of all-or-nothing-ism disturbing.

TP for going outside of CB to find interesting takes from fans of other teams. You also initially brought up Cleveland fans freaking out about the BKN pick, too, right? That's before Phantom created a thread and took all the credit!!  ;)

One of my favorite things from FLC isn't her gamethreads, but her "comments from the other side" piece following each Cs game on her Celticsgreen website. I really enjoy reading other fans' reactions - often seeing that they are ultimately not much different than we are  :laugh:

I was letting this go, but not anymore  ;D. See: http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=94594.msg2425904;topicseen#msg2425904

It's obvious to me that Fultz has a mental disorder. He's also as dumb as a brick if you've seen interviews with him and his social media posts. It could be that the Sixers do not want him to communicate with the media for fear of divulging information regarding the Sixers FO. That means delaying him from playing while looking for a potential trade. This could be another bad situation in Philly. I mean how does he answer the questions (with his low IQ) "why did you play injured" "who did you tell about your injury" "how did the Sixers not know you were hurt" "why did you change your shot without approval of your team"

I would assume that you'd have more to contribute when calling someone obnoxious. I personally do not have answers to those four questions and we've all spent 2 months hypothesizing answers. Do you really think that the Sixers want the guy who posted the tissot advertisement template without filling in the templated parts to be the one who answers them?

OK i have watched the videos and it's CLEARLY Tatum over JJ(which, i can also take it) for me

JJ you hope he can be a Butler guy, he shoot jumpers mostly with his wrist and that could be a problem in NBA(range/space), can guard 1-2s,the upside is there but more uncertainty

Tatum fits better in CBS's pace/space system for he is a good shooter and can also create/score, he really does has PP potential

And for that i can understand why Danny passed on Fulz
1.The bigger the better(impactful), guard is easy to get with our assets and don't need to be an all-rounder if your star wings/bigs can do the passing/creation, for example this draft(and others) has plenty of athletic or scoring guards outside of top5

2.Combine that with Fulz's red flag:Knee problem/Winning(hustling)attitude/college Record and bad workouts(shows clearly he is not a LBJ/KD/Duncan level prospect, means you can afford on passing)

I see the full logic for danny to pass on him, it's just a shame he can't get more out of it but anything is a plus(and 2018 pick in big mans draft is what we all want)

So i am happy now and waiting for the draft
and...wow danny really is good at his busness


In danny i trust ;)

Tp for the foresight. I was a Jackson fan. But then, sigh, I liked bender and Dunn as well.

Okay, but saying/classifying that he has a mental disorder because of that one possible mishap? REALLY???

You seriously don't think there's anything wrong with that...  ???

And to suggest he's even on the trade market right now because of it is kind of ridiculous too.

No... mental and intelligence are two separate things. I find his general attitude to be something of a player with a weak "mental game." I mean you do know that mental disorder doesn't mean that he's a psychopath right? He could have anxiety disorder. Do you think a person who cared about being an NBA star would exhibit this kind of behavior? Imagine if the Celtics did this to Jaylen Brown.

His lack of intelligence goes further than one mistake. Just YouTube interviews with him.

Not ridiculous that they've considered trading him. His shot if off (he's clearly not the person they thought they drafted) and Imagine how they're going to explain this entire fiasco. If he's traded they can simply throw him under the bus. Now they have to come up with a story that passes the smell test and makes both sides look competent. I don't personally see it.... and I sure as hell don't want a Fultz to be the one who tells the story. Plus they've also seen that Simmons is the point guard. Perhaps they could package him for a star or a high lotto pick next year. I mean look at the Sixers franchise... would anything surprise you at this point?
