I think many people have independently looked at the Sixers roster and came up with the same no-brainer trade: Covington + Fultz + #10 for Kawhi. Gonna be tough to beat that.
Jaylen Brown and a Chipotle coupon would be a far better deal for Spurs.
OOo... do you think we could get Fultz for Jaylen? That's intriguing.
Kyrie for Kawhi. Brown for Fultz. Send it in.
How many minutes did "elite prospect" Futz play in the 1st round? How about against us?
It's hard to get a real rise out of Celtics fans when you don't have much substance.
19 year old Fult per-36: 14.2 points, 7.5 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 steals
19 year old Brown per-36: 0 points, 0 assists, 0 rebounds, 0 steals
Brown didn't enter the league until he was 20 and put up averages of 6.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals... and he averaged 12 minutes in the playoffs with multiple DNPs.
How confident are you that Fultz next year (when he's the same age as Brown's rookie season) will be just as forgettable?
How about in two seasons when Fultz is the same age as Brown this year... in which Brown put up numbers nearly identical to 2nd year Michael Beasley and just a hair below 2nd year Jeff Green?
I'm a fan of Brown. Most likely he peaks out as a fringe star. Fultz had a very bizarre rookie season, but it's too early to give up on him.
Neither team would trade Fultz for Brown so it's a moot point. Boston might move Brown in a package for Kawhi, but it would be expensive and it's not really possible currently given our salaries. If Fultz + Convington + #10 is on the table this week, it's gonna be tough to beat it.
During the 2017 playoffs Brown was 20 yeard old, same age as Fultz was during the 2018 playoffs. So let's compare numbers
2017 playoffs in the first round of the Chicago series when Brown got 1 minute in Game 3, half a minute in Game 4 and a DNP in Game 5, he was 20 years and 180 days old.
2018 playoffs during the 1st round when Fultz similarly got 4 minutes in Game 3 and a DNP in Game 4, he was 19 years and 325 days old. Still over a month away from turning 20.
Brown was 20 years old for the entirety of his rookie season (20 years old opening night. 20 years old when his team was eliminated).
Fultz was 19 yers old for the entirety of his rookie season (19 years old on opening night. 19 years old when his team was eliminated).
Fultz obviously had a bizarre rookie season where he played 14 games, because of a broken shot. That said, are you giving up on his entire career over it? All things considered, next season will be his true rookie season when he's the same age Jaylen Brown was during his forgettable rookie season. Think he can average more than the 6 points Brown averaged?
