Again, you gotta read between the lines:
"I would've considered trading away Gordon Hayward if I were Danny Ainge. And I would've been open to moving Markelle Fultz if I were Philly." - Herring
He's A) implying that Philly wasn't willing to part with Fultz for Leonard and that's why the deal didn't work out and B) that Fultz has relatively the same trade value as Gordon Hayward.
I know that for Philly there would be additional filler, but Fultz would be the main attraction -- lol. Just absurd.
"A package built around last year's No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz" - Snellings
Last year's No. 1 pick who coincidentally doesn't remember how to shoot a basketball.
In general, these are statements that imply that Fultz has a lot of trade value. He doesn't. That is why these journalists here are hacks.
there is no where near an implication that Fultz and Hayward have the same or similar trade value. Those statements are all based on rumors for the last month that Philly wasn't including Fultz in a trade offer with Saric, Covington, and picks. He us merely saying the Sixers should have done that to get the trade done. If the Celtics were willing to trade Hayward he would have been traded alone. 2 entirely different things
