Woj, Stein, & Lowe - C's and Sixers in serious talks for #1 pick

[dreamgreen]

seems like a huge waste to do all this to get Butler .

hand over everything to 76's and Bulls for Bulter 

still not on par with team Lebron

Yea sounds gross 

[SHAQATTACK]

we are going to end up with Tatum and Lakers draft pick next year .......i just feel it in my bones.

The Bulls are trying to unload Butler so DWade doesn't opt into his huge salary. If Butler is gone, why would Wade stay.

23.8M is a good reason to opt in.  I'd think he'd opt in and then work out a buyout.  Then he could sign on cheaply with the Cavs.

Tatum could very well be the pick

Lets say

76ers- Fultz
Lakers - Jackson

Can't see Celtics picking Ball ....  So next best option is Tatum

At least Tatum can shoot

I don't know what to think right now. It's a combination of anxiety, depression, and excitement all at once.

Wade robs the Bulls
Bulls are dumb to give Wade this contract...   he was already on a steep decline when they signed him

Im with you. I wanted to attend the draft party this year, but I don't want to end up being a boo bird. Danny has done everything I wanted him to since drafting Marcus Smart. If we don't have Fultz or Anthony Davis come draft night, ill be sick.

At least Tatum can shoot but still yuck, if that's all the trade is we have to get a big back from them and they can take Rozier.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Jesus Christ, why are we being so stupid about this...? Just take Markelle Fultz at #1.

Unless the Sixers are willing to offer Robert Covington, along with the LA 2018 or the SacTo 2019 pick, hang up the phone, Danny!

18 pages later and I'm pretty sure the people attached to Fultz and upset would've been just as attached to Joe Barry Carroll, i.e., they've completely sold themselves on the Fultz groupthink and can't rearrange their heads to ponder other possibilities.

TP

It's time to wait and see and stop the outrage based on limited info.  While Fultz is clearly the better offensive prospect, all Jackson has to do to warrant this trade IMO is shoot as well as Fultz from deep (say within 1 to 3 percentage points on threes).  If Jackson can achieve that he'll have been the smarter pick based on how good the rest of his game is.  And while I'm a Jackson fan, if Danny went with Tatum at 3 in this trade I would not throw a fit even though I think Jackson is the wiser choice...I would wait and see.  What we have is people throwing fits over question marks and letting their disdain for Marcus Smart affect their judgement of a completely different player.

Tatum shot the 3 at 34 percent last season..jackson at 37

Tatum was only ok in shooting the 3 and getting to the line vs Jackson shot better from the 3 pt line ...but also shot 40 more FTS

at a worst rate than than Tatum...but also got the opponents in more foul trouble

Jackson is also a better overall defender

If danny is after 3 and D...Jackson is his guy

if we could get Covington in the deal ......Id feel a little better ......Tatum and Covington would help the front and add size and scoring where we are despert .

I scared DA is still in love with AB , Jae and Young and Rozier too much

sixers have made it clear they are not going to disrupt their core
simmons, embiid, saric, covington...
