Sixers still have the Kings 2019 and either their 18 or 19 still

This is a great trade and will do good for Boston too when they use them to get Butler or PG

Honestly what the hell are we gonna do with MORE rookies while already having potentially Fultz, Embiid, Ben, Dario, Furkan, TLC, Holmes, Okafor, Covington, Justin Anderson, etc all still young. This is a guy who people have said might be one of the top shooting guard prospects of the last 20 years. He's worth going all in for to complete this part of The Process.

lemme lay this track down in advance:

Sam Hinkie got Markelle Fultz for MCW and a pickswap
5:24 PM - 16 Jun 2017

Part of me thinks the 76ers should call the Celtics bluff. They clearly are in on Jackson at this point because even if the C's were trading the pick afterwards that's who you would take at 3. If you're the Sixers, you make the Celtics take the guy that Boston truly wants at # 1. Lakers take Fultz at 2. Sixers end up with Ball at 3, and save 2 picks for something else.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Would much rather see Fultz in Phillly than in Boston.

So Simmons and Ball in Philly

[dat dude chris]

Nah

I'm good with swapping picks with them this year, trading the Lakers or our pick next year plus giving them our pick in 2019. If you have a chance to grab a guy that you think could be a superstar to go alongside of your other two potential superstars that are all 23 and under then you do it.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Danny Ainge is going to regret this so bad 

 

[frshstunna]

How mans picks ainge need?? ...Celtics fans gotta start looking at him funny if this trade happens

 

[rook]

Ainge is the GOAT if he pulls it off

I was gonna say, I love Markelle but damn that's a major haul for the number 1.

Worth it. Philly legit has enough youth/talent. 3 #1 picks with all superstar talent. It's time

Exactly. It's not even a question.

Ainge is wylin man. This is ridiculous

You right, but.....by that same logic they could have used those pics for a vet....

 

[rook]

Ainge stay fleecing people man

He ain't fleecing a damn thing but the Celtics future

 

[ballinsam23]

Sixers should give up Okafor instead of a 3rd pick. All in for Fultz in Philly.

 

[stillin729]

why would you get a vet when you are building a young team? that makes no sense

Y'all throw the word superstar around to willy nilly. Can we wait until the other two guys actually play the majority of a season first?

As of a few hours ago, Fultz was heading to Boston tomorrow for a final meeting. Now being rerouted to Philly, per @WojVerticalNBA. Crazy

4:15 PM - 16 Jun 2017

 

[rook]

Only vet I want is Mills. Lmao

 

[Brownstone]

Young teams need vets too.....? No..... Vet doesn't mean 30

I mean if that was an option then sure we would absolutely do it

 

[stillin729]

you would rather trade 3 picks for Fultz or acquire someone like Jimmy Butler?

you can sign vets
