why did the Sixers trade Noel? What fucking MORONS!!!! THIS TEAM COULD'VE FUCKING HAD:

FULTZ, SIMMONS, EMBIID, OKAFOR, SARIC, AND NOEL!!!!


FUCK THE IDIOTS IN PHILLY!!!!!

Celtics plz. Just get Fultz and offer Hayward max contract

WHAT

THE

FUCK

IS DANNY EVEN DOING????

>>76583504
they could probably get hayward and butler as well as keeping their pick and getting fultz

the back court of that team would be fucking insane. it would benefit them too since they play small ball a ton

Lakers could really cause chaos if they pick Jackson desu

>>76583476
sup OP

Do you not have /'s on your phone, or are you just a lazy lil bitch?

Just asking.

Butler
Hayward
Jackson
Horford

Literally who can stop this team? Niggas gonna be calling us the Warriors of the East.

Philly getting Fultz is way scarier than Boston getting Fultz especally if they can get rid of Okafor too. What the hell is Ainge thinking?

Sixers get Lonzo #1 overall

Don't @ me

>Lakers are now taking part in a conference call with the Celtics and Sixers, though it appears they have no intention of getting involved and it's just sharing information regarding Fultz's workout

WHAT IS GOING ON

>>76583525
in which case, Ainge will draft Tatum at #3.

or at the very least i hope so because holy shit that would be such a fucking shitstorm.

If Danny trades the #1 pick I'm livestreaming my an hero lads.

>>76583618

WHAT A GOD

>>76583618

>>76583525

Fire Danny before he pulls a Pitino. Do it Wyc.

Anons, give me a status update on the celtics

>>76583574
who are the other two bums?

Ainge needs to stop finessing teams desu. If this trade goes through he's traded oldass Paul Pierce, oldass KG, and oldass Jason Terry for 5 (five) lottery picks

Tanking teams drama is great.

Maybe Ainge knows Fultz will blow his ACL or something and is playing 4D chess

>>76583618
My guess is that the Lakers are going to trade down to 4, and they're probably discussing what they think the Suns are gonna do at 2

Trading it is fine if they get a Butler/pg13+contract os something, but giving it to Philly, who are already positioned for the future and need guards, is fucking stupid. As is Philly is about to get railroaded in terms of draft fits if no moves are made. Boston would be directly helping in creating the next dynasty barring injuries.

Flat out false, Fultz has a way higher ceiling.

He's getting Harden comps, but with defense.

>>76583701

If that was the case then they should have done it in fucking February when the bulls weren't even asking for the nets pick

>There's a growing sense around the league that the Lakers might take Fox at two, leaving UCLA product Lonzo Ball to fall to the Suns at 4, or perhaps even further. The Suns front office however, is set on moving guard Eric Bledsoe and Ball would be a great fit alongside Devin Booker

Ball is not falling past philly, much less the suns. Philly is praying that the celtics/Lakers don't pick fultz/ball or they can make a deal to move up. Otherwise they have to draft Jackson when their frontcourt is already loaded, reach for monk, or trade down

other than that, it's a lock they'll take Fultz, Jackson, or Tatum at worst

for me it's dennis smith jr. whenever you have someone with freak athleticism that can make 3's you have a potential to develop a superstar.

>its a pasta

>>76584036
I saw Danny Ainge at a grocery store in Boston yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

If the team had gotten Payton, Kobe, Pippen, etc. to perfect all the backcourt's defense, then the team would win 10 straight. Especially since Whiteside and Ibaka would work with Ewing and Hakeem and just grab boards, play defense, slam alley oops, (hit 3's), and block shots

He'll finalize it, if he finalizes it, when he wants to.

>>76584411
Second place isn't the same as winning it. And Harden never deserved to be so much as top 3 in MVP voting, ever.
Bledsoe was shit his first years in the league and wouldn't have worked as a backup on that team, only thing you can fault them on his who they traded him for, but he wasn't worth much back then. Bringing up Whiteside is retarded since he was a nobody and had severe mental and anger issues for 3 years after he was drafted and before he was drafted.

This is petty as fuck nitpicking and unrealistic as fuck.

>>76584418
Kek gtfoh dumb chiraq fan

Makes no sense for Celtics to draft Fultz really

Jackson is a better fit, but really I want to see us get Gordon or Jimmy. Cavs are overrated and we could beat Golden State if they have an injury with that team

Fultz just followed Ben Simmons on instagram

it's done

The type of people that act like they're more intelligent than a GM and have more info on prospects and rival organizations in making trades are retarded.

People that do this years after the fact to make a empty 20/20 hurr durr criticism of said GMs are even more retarded.

Philly is basically done with the draft after Fultz. They have their core that needs to grow and won't need more young talent so holding on to 3 trillion first rounders is pointless

If you're the Sixers, what is the perfect player needed to be successful in the future with this current roster?

A big PG that'll get his touches taken from Ben "Meme" Simmons trying to be LeBron when he's almost 7 feer tall?

Or a small PG/SG that'll play off the ball for Ben and defend regular PGs?

>>76584585
>almost 7 feer tall?
I read this as "almost 7 beers tall". That's.. not as tall as I was expecting.

>>76584585
Get a good shooter

>>76583489
Why would you want that many centers in a guard driven league?

Celtics should just pressure Philly into giving them the Kings pick too. If they say no then no deal, and we get to draft Fultz as planned. The pressure is on (You), Philly.

D'Aaron Fox is the best player in the draft. He's Russell Westbrook except selfless.

>>76584861
Do you really think the sixers need all those picks when they have elite prospects like Simmons, Saric and Embiid? They can just draft some good glue guys to fill out the rest of the roster. Their future is already set. They don't need another elite player.

Also, Fultz will never be an elite player. He's just a better version of D'Angelo.

Celtics have zero elite players unless you count the meme midget Isaiah. They need to draft or trade for an elite player to compete against the big 3. That's why this draft and this trade is crucial for them.

Jaylen Brown made an impact at only 19-20 years old on the first seed team in the East. Once he gets better at 3s he's literally Jimmy Butler combined with Albert Einstein.

Dumbass. You might get lucky with those Lakers and Philly picks but more likely you're trading Fultz for Jackson and mid to late lottery picks

Sixers could easily be in playoff contention and the Lakers could win 35 games

More importantly you know why Ainge stacks assets? Its because he can't draft! Look at his draft record

Reminder that Embiid is closer to Oden than he is to Shaq

The team that just made the Eastern Conference finals and Vegas gives them the 4th best odds of winning the 2018 Finals plus has the first overall this year and very likely to have a top 3 pick next season is apparently rebuilding worse than the team who spent 4 (four) lottery picks on centers/power forwards and hasn't tasted the postseason since 2013.

It doesn't matter how many picks Ainge has, he will always draft a bust. The last time he picked an elite player was in 2007 when he got Rondo and Rondo had major flaws.

>>76585631
Fulton is great offball. The thing is, just because Simmons runs the offense doesn't mean he'll be the only ballhandlers. You only have to look at Cavs and warriors to see that you need multiple ballhandlers for a full 48 minutes.

Is this the 8th seed next year?

Don't fall for all these Jewish draft trade rumors. It's just the media trying to get clicks on their articles and views on their TV shows. No big deals will go down.

wow are the celtics really trying to trade the #1? are they going to make the bulls an offer?

3 picks for butler or what?

so basically for the rest of the decade everyone is going to be tanking because nobody can beat the warriors.

gonna be hard to watch

>>76586268
that a good thing. titles wont be valuable anymore, its how many #1 picks you can get. Warriors will be last, its all apart of the the master plan.

>>76586268
I was about to argue with you about how they can only keep their core together for so long before it gets ridiculously expensive, but realized it's 2017 and the decade is almost over.

>>76583476
What do the Celtics get?

>>76586268
I see Golden State having the same window of winning than what the Heatles had so like, 4-5 years. I unironically believe the Spurs is going to steal a WCF from the Warriors in that window.

The insinuation from the original tweet was that at least 1 1st round pick from Philly would go to Boston.

But Boston would have to give up the #3 (and some role players or some shit) to some other team, and that was presumably to go to you guys in exchange for Butler.

Fultz, Ball, or Fox
Reddick
Simmons
Saric
Embiid

Still puts too much pressure on the rest of the team to make up.

You're comparing the Celtic's defense to the Warriors.

>>76587131
its not about "defensive point-guards" its about point-guards that have enough defense to prevent them from being a huge liability. If Isiah scores less than 27 with 5 assists and good % he's a liability. ANYONE can score on him, even Andre Roberson and that ilk.

>>76587157
Only because the rest of the team fucking SUCKS at scoring, so a majority of the scoring production has to be generated directly through him.

The entire team plays strained because THEY SUCK without him. As evident of their awful record whenever he's hurt.

Add another player that can score, like Hayward, the team immediately improves 10 fold.

>>76587183
Yeah, because Kyrie getting fucking dunked on by every tom dick and harry all the time completely nullifies his ridiculous scoring ability.

A shitload of PGs are terrible at defense, yet still perform tremendously enough on the other side that it becomes negligible.

IT is garbage, why are we even discussing him? Celtics would be better even with Ramon Sessions.

They aren't the worst when he's in and the best when he's out, but they're obviously is a dropoff when he's in versus out.

But you fucking tell me, the guy scores 30 a night, the fucking team gets fucking nowhere without him to the point they lose to 76ers and almost the fucking Brooklynn Nets.

So I don't give a fuck if he's a liability because they can fucking hide it.
