The NBA Draft Thread

[P C H]

Don't know what Philly is giving up, but you already have Simmons and Embiid, i'm on board with them taking a chance and moving up to get to Fultz.

Fultz/Saric/Simmons/Embiid is dynamo if Simmons plans out. I love fultz man. That's a star.

Fultz
Saric
Simmons
Embiid

This is what Hinkie died for

Sheesssh

Can trades be made prior to the draft or will it be a situation where Boston picks for the 76ers, then trades him?

 

[buc em]

Wow. This escalated quickly.

Fultz, Embiid, Simmons, Dario and a billion dollars in cap space this offseason? I'll be realllllly interested to see what approach Colangelo takes in free agency.

Correct they have to make the actual selection first.

 

[youngthundercat]

I wonder how many of y'all actually watch college basketball outside of march madness.

 

[earldagoat]

Is the Fultz trade a foregone conclusion?

 

[mgrand15]

Randle and Jackson isn't a bad haul for the Celtics if they want to move forward with IT.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I guess Boston can afford to take a risk on lower floor prospects like Fox or Dennis Smith.

Sounds like it'll get done if Fultz's medical reports come back clean

Julius Randle is not worth giving up FultZ lmao

 

[MVP]

Philly probably going to trade #3 and the Lakers pick next year for #1. We can't really match that

 

[junglejim]

Julius Randle is not worth giving up FultZ lmao

He is a free agent after this coming year.

even worse in that case

 

[stillin729]

Boston trying to get picks to acquire PG

 

[ValarMorghulis]

For a year?

 

[stillin729]

For a year?

No idea why Lakers fans act like it's a certainty he's just waiting out his time to go there

It's not just the Laker fans. The whole league knows.

Big downgrade for me from the #1 pick to #3. Was told Ainge looking for a "Brooklyn type fleece" to get deal done. Let's see if that happens

 

[osh kosh bosh]

everyone outside of fultz and ball to a lesser degree is a shooting darts.



I would rather stay in the top 2.

 

[MVP]

Boston wants Josh Jackson otherwise this doesn't make much sense.

 

[Olympus]

League sources tell @ZachLowe_NBA and me that the Sixers and Celtics are in serious talks on a trade involving the No. 1 overall pick.

@ZachLowe_NBA In current parameters, BOS would receive several picks and no players, sources say. Have to think No. 3 would be involved.

Deal talks are far enough along that Fultz could be on his way to Philadelphia for a meeting Saturday, sources say.

WHAT?! We've been waiting on a guard for FOUR YEARS and we could get the best one in the draft?!

I'm gonna have an out of body experience if this happens on draft night.

He's not getting 4 #1s again. Only billy king is that stupid.

He can have our #3 and the lakers #1 next year.

 

[lovehateself]

Julius Randle is not worth giving up FultZ lmao

RFA

Ainge really wants to get to 30 draft picks without one of them being an all star
