I'm not saying which Lebron, which Thompson, which Green or which Warriors or what sport. The Cavs signing Mychel Thompson and Seth Curry would be the ultimate mindfuck. I'm saying the NBA needs a Fake Diesel and Razor storyline to help business pick back up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Interesting Maybe Boston really does want Jackson more than Fultz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I don't think Fultz is the clear cut number one guy so don't love the idea. Don't really hate it either though. Ball seems like the best fit for our offense though. We play San Antonio style now and will have to change things up to run more pick and rolls adding Fultz. Any of the top guys will look good running in transition with Simmons though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Well you never have to worry about screwing up draft picks if you never actually draft. . . .Maybe they think Hayward if staying in Utah(I hope so) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah can give him a super-max deal. But then he runs into GS or Houston or San Antonio every year. I think he's leaving, the only question is, is he going to Boston... or Miami.

Jiji Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 LeBron isn't leaving the east even if he bolts out of Cleveland next summer. Miami with Hayward isn't challenging Cleveland and I don't think Boston does either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can pay him a bit more and give him the extra year, but it's not nearly as big a difference as it would've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The Celtics and the 76ers just traded their picks in the draft. So the 76ers now have the #1 selection and the Celtics have the #3. More importantly, it guarantees that Markelle Fultz will be badly injured in the next six to eight weeks... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtics also lock up the Lakers' pick next year and the Kings' pick in 2019, all of which are unprotected. Not sure if Philly or Boston wins the trade.

The Lakers pick is protected 2-5, and they only get the Kings pick if they don't get the Lakers pick, according to what I read on Yahoo a couple hours ago.

I thought that NBA rules say you can't add protection to picks you got from a trade that weren't originally protected, which was being said a couple hours ago too.

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Early reports was that it involved both picks but it's just the one, I don't like it. Fultz may not be a clear cut franchise guard but he's a very good prospect and I still am not convinced Ainge knows what his play is. Some say Anthony Davis, no that is not fucking happening so stop saying it. New Orleans isn't moving AD. Not anytime soon. Butler is a name that keeps popping up but I don't see how he makes Boston a title contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 He doesn't. Neither does George. Butler (or George) + Hayward might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Quote The Celtics will reportedly receive the Sixers pick for 2017 and a 2018 1st round pick from the Sixers via the Lakers with protections. If that 2018 pick stays with the 76ers, then the Celtics will get the 2019 pick from the Kings. How the Yahoo article now reads. Earlier it specifically said "2-5" so I'm guessing details are still coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 ESPN's article - which cites the Undefeated - is also saying the Lakers pick is protected and the Kings pick is the back up pick if they don't get the Lakers So it is one or the other - not both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 What I just read says the protection on the pick is the other way. Celtics only get it if it's between 2-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 If you believe Chad Ford's report that Ainge wants Jackson more than Fultz, it all makes sense. Get the guy you want plus likely another top five pick? That's a good move (unless the Lakers throw a curve ball and grab Jackson instead of Ball) plus it will continue the "will Boston go all in" narrative for another year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely killing any trade value he might have had. Pacers really have no choice but to dump him. Even just increasing the value of their own draft pick in 2018 will hasten a rebuild. Turner looks like he could develop into someone to build around. Not far off already. The only hope they have in getting any value from the Lakers would be eating one of those horrible deals that Deng and Mozgov signed last year in the deal. Hopefully Cleveland can get him on a 1 year rental. If it is just going to be Golden State and Cleveland again next year at least make it competitive.

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I think this makes Paul George to Cleveland a real possibility. They'd be willing to take PG as a rental and the Pacers aren't going to be able to have a huge price tag. I'm sure they can make the money work.
