This is such a stupid move by Ainge.

The Sixers won't be the worst team in the league by far next year so you're trading a guy with superstar potential for...two 3-6 range picks?

If your evaluations have Fultz and Jackson on the same level, then you make that trade every time. Personally I think Fultz is a much surer bet but then again I haven't met the guys and seen them work out and so forth. Jackson and Brown could be a brutal defensive wing tandem in 2-4 years.

The funniest thing that could happen would be the Sixers/Celtics making the trade. Followed by the Lakers drafting Jackson at 2.

My very stupid opinion is that Ainge is addicted to collecting assets, so the Sixers should give him their #3 pick this year and their pick next year and Okafor or whatever to move up to #1 for Fultz
This is just what I wanted the Sixers to do! Fultz/Simmons/Covington/Embiid is such a good core

The fit of fultz on the sixers is worth the cost imho

Trade anything but Simmons or embiid

The Celtics better elicit a king's ransom from the Sixers in order to justify moving down from 1 to 3. At least the #3 pick plus two more first rounders at the minimum. Maybe 3 more

So I'm assuming Jackson and Fultz still got in the top 3 meaning this doesn't impact the rest of the draft. Philly really wasn't going to take Monk at #3 after all?

You are drastically overvaluing the pick. The only actual players taken at 1 with anywhere near that kind of value in the last ten years are Davis and Towns. That would be a gross overpay for Wall or Irving, who unlike a guy who we've never seen play in the NBA have a near 0 chance of busting out of the league after the trade.

The statue outside the Wells Fargo Center will not be Fultz or Embiid, but an elaborate Rube-Goldberg machine that begins with Carl Landry and Vlade.

This only makes sense if Boston is going to try to swing for a Paul George / Jimmy Butler type player, right? Unless Ainge is just obsessed with 1st round picks

Assuming they could sign Hayward, having Jackson / Hayward / Bradley / Brown as well as one of PG / Butler all on the same team would be an insane bunch of wings that could switch a hell of a lot

Fast Luck

There were rumors coming out today that they really liked Josh Jackson. It would also make sense if they think he's BPA and by trading down they can get him and assets both.

Maybe they draft Jackson and then focus on landing Blake Griffin or someone before Hayward.

I'm not sure Magic is sharp enough to draft Jackson over Ball. I thought maybe but this Jerry West fiasco has me thinking that he may in fact be a greenhorn babby at this

You can't stop what's coming

quote:

Lowe confirmed no players would be involved, and said at the moment all he could say was the deal would include the third overall pick and one future first. As Lowe speculated, the future pick could include the Lakers unprotected 2018 pick, or the Sacramento Kings unprotected 2019 first. There will presumably be more than that included in the trade.

Ainge is that depression era grandpa who doesn't trust banks (the draft) and basically has money (future picks) stashed all throughout the house
