Likely Boston/Philly Trade

[ncoloradojazz]

Ainge much better gm and bball iq then someone from down under Ainge has stockpiled future picks all while having a good team still. HE has put on a clinic. You don't see me commenting on rugby or Kangaroos do you?

Ainge parlayed the #1 pick in an excellent draft into the 5th or 6th best player. Ball, Fultz, Smith Jr., Josh Jackson and probably Issac are all likely to be better players than Tatum. I wouldn't be surprised if Fox and Mitchell turn out better as well. Tatum isn't much of a defender, doesn't have much of a first step, and looks mostly a mid-range iso-scorer. He doesn't really have an impact when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. Right now he's like a less athletic Tobias Harris.

I'm down on Ainge's drafting, tbh, and don't think he's really an elite GM. He ripped the Nets on a trade that basically fell into his lap, but that's his best accomplishment in the past 5 years.

I effing love Josh Jackson and think he's 3x the player Tatum is. Jackson affects every play.

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?

Fultz and Smith Jr. are both better shooters, shot creators and scorers than Tatum. Tatum is called a scorer because he doesn't do anything else at a high level.
