Fans love to propose these type of deals but they pretty much never happen. Ask Danny ainge, nobody is really trading a top pick for two lesser picks

Welp, one of these sources is mistaken, I do see that he was having trouble keeping weight on so....

Especially not in the NBA.
NFL early round picks are extremely valuable.. NBA not so much.

For a team like the Celtics who dont necessarily need a #1 pick, something like the #4 and the #6 in a stacked draft may be intriguing.

The Celtics don't "need" a #1 pick?
They are a good team but still don't have a franchise player.
Don't try to tell me a 5'9 PG who while being amazing offensively is one of the worst defenders in the league and is headed for a max deal is one.

While IT/Horford/Crowder/Bradley are the core now, Smart/Jaylen/2017 BKN pick/2018 BKN pick are going to be the real core that can hopefully be championship contenders for several years down the line. If they can draft a guy that projects to be James Harden-esque, they are going to do it.

I think Bradley should be part of that core too. I'll give ainge credit for rebuilding while being a playoff team but I still think he should've pushed some of his chips in. Not sure what kinda ceiling his assets will have or if Boston will be able to hit in free agency

I really think that Ainge has stood pat to see if he can get Hayward this summer without having to give up any assets. Everyone that was available at the trade deadline is still going to be available this summer. He has a TON of options. I just think he's a bit hesitant to go all-in and lose 8 years of player control on someone that could be a potential superstar to add an all-star but then have to go up against multiple superteams.

That would be a good deal for any team in this draft with how stacked the top 10 is but the only team that has the potential to have the 4th and 6th pick is the Sixers. I don't know if I'd be happy giving up say Lonzo/Josh Jackson and Monk/Fox/Tatum just for Fultz. The dude would have to turn into a legitimate superstar to make that trade worth it in THIS draft.

You're not getting Lonzo or JJ with the 4th pick though. Those 3 are clearly a cut above the rest. And Fultz is a cut above the Ball and JJ.

You seriously never know with the draft. Whoever ends up picking in the top 3 can end up falling in love with Isaac, Markkanan, Fox, Monk, Frank, Dennis Smith or Tatum, Fultz's knee could end up not checking out right, a team could go for position need instead of for the top talent, Lonzo's dad could scare teams away from drafting him, Josh Jackson might punch a women's basketball player in the face....so many things could happen between now and when the draft actually happens. I think it's been shown GM's don't always make the logical picks...

Things rarely change at the top with picks barring a major injury. Those 3 will be the picks in some order.

I dont see fultz a cut above Lonzo. Never did tbh. I thought he was maybe slightly a better nba prospect because his shot doesnt need reworked like lonzos release will in the league but after the knee and the season his squad had in taking Lonzo #1
Nba superstars sply dont struggle in college. Hell even a guy like Michale Beasley took his team on a toruney run. If you a gaurd dominating the ball yall gotta be winning...
Then add the knee injury... naw im callin Lavar today if im oicking one thru three like look were taking your boy contingent on you doin less than 10 press appearances a year lol

You sound uninformed.
Blaming Washington being trash on Fultz? Did you even watch any of their games?
Fultz isn't the better prospect over Lonzo because of his shot, he's literally better at everything than Lonzo.
Stronger, more athletic, much better PnR player, better rebounder, better defensive tools, more length, much better finisher, much better shot creator off the dribble, better at drawing fouls, more advanced skillset, younger + his father isn't a narcisstic sychophant who loves the sound of his own voice and uses his son's platform as his own.
You need to do some more research if you really believe what you said.

Yeah, you should never judge a player off whether or not they make the tournament. If fultz played for duke or Kentucky and they didn't make the tournament, sure maybe you'd have a point. Washington didn't have the talent ucla has. And just to clarify, fultz definitely didn't "struggle in college". Digging into his numbers you'll find he's in a special place
Recently, klay, lilliard, bosh and Paul George haven't made the NCAA tournament
The thing I'll agree with you on is his knee. Hope he checks out physically

Judging a player because of how their team performs in the NCAA is one of the most useless draft takes ever. Guarantee this guy was one of those "Shabazz is a winner" types.

Even though Beasley didn't pan out in the league you cant just throw him out there, like if Beasley can do it anyone can. Beasley had one of the greatest college careers(only 1 season) that we've seen. At times it looked so easy it felt like he was toying with college basketball.

Even then Beasley had another NBA prospect on his team and a hall of fame coach

Crazy just how bad he was in the NBA. Barely a rotation player. Just goes to show...

Only season he he remotely resembled Kstate Beasly was his first season in Minny.
He was the type of guy who needed to be drafted into the PERFECT situation and south beach was not the place
