Likely Boston/Philly Trade

[Miggs]

Because Isaiah Thomas, believe it or not, is a HUGE asset for them. By drafting Fultz, they'll surely alienate him and he'll surely leave in Free Agency.



By trading with the Sixers, they get the 3rd pick this year (a wing they can use), PLUS a potential top 5 pick in '18, AND still a hot favourite in keeping Isaiah Thomas in Free Agency as well.

Brilliant. Overpay for an undersized point guard and someone who likely won't age well at all.

Interesting wrinkle...

Lol time to find out how petty Magic is. They used the Lakers pick next year to leap frog them also. Must suck.

From what I've read, there isn't a 3rd team. Both got it done early to continue to maneuver(imo not Philly though) betting Boston snags Jimmy B and at least sends a offer for A.D

Undersized or not he led them to the best records in the East this year...



Fultz, as good as he is, is going to take at least 3-4 years to do that (if Isaiah doesn't return).

Ainge is doing all types of maneuvering. Thursday should be interesting.

Hope the NBA doesnt blow their collective load before the draft and we get no draft day action.

quite a gamble by the little white whine. Going to be fascinating to see how this plays out over the coming years. Has he screwed the pooch or is this some absolute masterstroke ??

Well it is going crazy now but it feels like it is building... hopefully the Jazz go big.

t's going to be interesting to see which future-1st Philadelphia sends to Boston.

Ainge is much smarter then you. They got Tatum who is the best scorer in this draft and last year got athletic beast Brown as a lockdown defender. ainge is best gm in bball. He has a solid team now
HE has a couple young studs on roster
Has lots contract picks..

Seriously any team would love to be sitting where Celtics are sitting and it's all because of Danny Ainge.


QUOTE=fishonjazz;1432081]Isn't fultz the sure fire no question best player in what is supposed to be a great draft?
Why would boston do this? Do they think that the 3rd best player in this year's draft is better than fultz?[/QUOTE]
