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.
You've really lost your fastball, man. Are you seriously bringing up Jaylen's stats as zero's because he wasn't even in the league?
During the 2017 playoffs Brown was 20 yeard old, same age as Fultz was during the 2018 playoffs. So let's compare numbers:
Total Minutes PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% FT% 3PT%
Brown 215 5.0 2.1 0.8 0.4 0.1 47.9 66.7 21.7
Fultz 23 1.7 1.0 1.7 0.7 0.0 14.3 75.0 N/A (shocked...he didn't take a 3)
So one 20 year old was trusted to get a good amount of minutes, the other was not. In fact, he was so scared of the moment that his coach had to pull him from the rotation in the Miami series, and instead went with TJ the little engine that could.
