    Hello darkness, my old friend


    High price for Fultz, at least---depending on those protections. Sixers sent them all their juiciest draft assets.

    Sounds like just 2 picks. Lakers, protected, and if not conveyed, Sacramento pick

    Sounds like it is protected to where, if it is not pick 2-5, then it goes to Sacramento pick. I love the deal for Philly. Move up to get the top player. That's why you accumulate the assets, right?

    I'm sure it's top 3 protected at least and if that's the case, I think Fultz is worth it. Especially for Philly since the PG's in the 18' and 19' class look to be pretty weak.

    Dude. Yes. Elliot smith is badass. "Needle in the hay," "miss misery," and "pretty ugly before," are all amazing songs. Such a tragic story.

    If Josh Jackson goes #2, I wouldn't be surprised to see Isaac go #3.

    I agree. If it's just for future picks then I think Ainge is selling the team short over future value. There is no telling if future picks are worth given how many potential players are in each given class. You want a core of a team. Once you have that you build around them. Philly will have that with Fultz. Portland has that Dame, CJ and Nurkic.

    Unless Ainge turns around and trades for Butler, it just seems like he's kicking the can down the street. Assets look cute, but at some point you're going to have to pull the trigger.

    Or is he trusting the process??

    Do if Jackson goes at #2, how far does Ball fall?

    I don't think BOS will take at #3.

    I tink PHX promised Isaac at #4.

    So SAC? I think its certainly possible.

    But what if BOS takes Tatum at #3 and Fox and Ball are available at #5? Do they take Fox? Does Ball fall to #6?

    I thought BOS wanted to trade down to add LALs and SACs picks to be able to draft at #3 and trade the extra picks for an all-star, however they didn't get enough back, so I have no idea what they're doing.

    Boston has a first round pick fetish.
