Is it really much to be chest puffing about that the return on an overall #1 draft pick in a trade less than two season later was Jonathon Simmons, a top 20 protected first rounder & a 2nd rounder?
That's pretty horrendous by any standards.
As Ja Rule once said, someone got "bamboozled" at draft time.
People on here have hilarious takes. Nobody is chest puffing. The Sixers made the best that they could out of a bad situation. Since Fultz still hasn't started practicing again, his value during the offseason would almost certainly have been lower.
That one who got bamboozled was Colangelo and he was also the idiot that traded the OKC protected pick to the Magic for some Euro center who had a slim to none chance of being an NBA player. The Fultz trade is certainly better than the fake 1st trade that Colangelo did to get rid of Noel.
I think most would say your takes on the 76ers are actually what are hilarious.
So if you were the Sixers you would have hung on to Fultz instead of making this trade?
I would have. They didn't have to move him, he still has the potential for 2 years to get healthy and increase value.
