    76ers will not go that high, for sure. They will maybe add one additional pick to the #3 this year, perhaps Lakers 2018 pick or 76ers 2018 or 2019 but not two future 1sts.

    It'll be interesting to see if it has an impact further down the draft and maybe opens up a door for us to trade up.

    Philadelphia should still try to get Knicks or Minnesota pick this year to get Malik Monk. Even offering Sarič would make sense, as they could play Simmons at point forward and have the backcourt of Fultz and Monk would be awesome. However, getting Fox at #3 and pairing him with Monk also works.

    Maybe ORL loves Isaac and trades #6 up to #3 to take him because they think PHX will take him at #4? Philadelphia gets Monk at #6?

    Well but they don't get Fox in this scenario because they no longer have #3.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Looks like two future firsts are potentially on the table:



    A 2021 first though is...not that amazing. And the protections will obviously be key as far as how much value this really is.

    2018 Lakers pick is valuable. I think there's a good chance it will be a top 10 pick, quite comfortably, and next year's draft will have more forwards and a top center prospect (Ayton) which Celtics need more than a guard this year.

    If Celtics feel they may as well take Jackson or Tatum at #3 and get a good future pick to go with it, it makes sense. They'd basically receive 2018 Lakers pick for merely being two places higher in the draft. That's a good deal.

    I think it's a deal that benefits both teams here. Sixers don't really need that many picks in the future. However offering Kings 2019 pick is too much, that is potentially a top 5 pick with Kings having so little talent and experience.

    I agree. As I said, though, a lot depends on the protections. The 2018 Lakers pick is unprotected for Philadelphia, but I assume they can add protections to it if they trade it again. I could be wrong.

    They can. I don't think Boston takes it with any significant protections. Maybe top 3.

    Danny gets people to do the dumbest stuff for him.
    Pillaging from McHale and the Zombie Sonics to build the Big 3.
    Pillaging Billy King in the Big-3 Sell-Off.
    Pillaging 4 other teams to turn Jeff Green and Marcus Thornton into a 1st, a 2nd, Isaiah Thomas and salary relief.
    Pillaging 2 other teams to turn an expiring (in more ways than one) Rondo into 2 1sts, a second, salary relief and Jae Crowder.

    I wonder if Jordan would have been Jordan if the blazers had drafted him? And how would Clyde have reacted (he was already a bit of a prima dona)? That might be a good OT discussion for the summer doldrums :)

    But yeah: I'm all for BPA and figure it out later.

    :cheers:

    These two were so good, i really believe you could just say "fuck it, play MJ at SG and Clyde at the SF. That mofo is 6'7, we'll be fine."

    If Fultz, Embid and Simmons all reach their ceilings on one team..... of course remember when we had discussions about Roy, Oden and Aldridge?

    "Do you miss me, miss misery
    Like you say you do?"

    Liked just for the Elliott Smith reference.
    If that team with Roy, Aldridge, and Oden would have stayed healthy, the lyrics would be:

    "So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade".

    Never did get into Smith too much sadly. I remember my friends telling me how good Heatmiser and I should go see them. Ever want to get a time machine?

    If I had one I'd go back and buy a bunch of late 50's Gibson's cherry LP's. Come back. Sell them for a fortune online to some lawyer/collectors. Look at those high end PRS guitars. Those should be called Attorney Specials.
