Almost threw up my breakfast when seeing this topic. There is no way Danny would lose his mind temporarily and trade number 1 for 5 and 10 unless he saw something in the medical reports on in person that raised a flag. If that is the case, all bets are off and prepare for a big trade of monumental proportions. If only Kings kept the super talented trouble maker though. 5, 10 and Cousins might be tempting(lol, kidding but not really).
My guess would be if the red flag has been hoisted from Fultz visit for unknown reasons(medical would be my guess), prepare yourself to hear about crazy 3 and 4 team massive trades at the top as teams jockey for the person who they truly want.
Crazy theories:
1. Ball works out for Kings for Danny's benefit and viewing as well. Big trade goes down, Kings take Ball if they get up to 2 or 3 or perhaps or who knows, maybe they only need to be at 4 or 5 for Ball. If Ball is taken with 5 pick, Big exchange is done of Ball and Fultz plus 10 and number 1 in next year's draft. Maybe they even throw in Hield and a huge teardown of our roster commences soon after. The finals have shown Danny we need super talented young players to build a dynasty and he has the ego that believes he could do it. Maybe he views Ball as the Kobe from long ago who so many passed on or Durant in the two slot vs. Mr. Injury.
2. Sixers trade 3 for 1 with Celtics and throw in Saric and future first or perhaps even one of the other teams first's they have next year. We then turn around and select Ball with 3rd pick and trade that to Kings for 5,10 and future first. Perhaps player of our choice is thrown in as well. Danny has fun drafting in a not so friendly top position again and attempts to hit 2 long shot homeruns with 5 and 10 while the Sixers solidify a future dynasty with Fultz joining Simmons and Embiid as their main core.
3. This is all crazy inuendo to get someone to even further up the ante on what has already been offered for the number 1. Rumors like this could push someone over the edge to do something stupid...think Mr. King and the Nets long ago. Let us not underestimate the power of Stupid and everyone is susceptible to it at some point. It is Danny's job to make sure he is not the one being "Stupid" and too take advantage of someone who is more than willing to oblige. Crazy trade idea.....
Lakers give 2 to Celtics for 1 and throw in Ingram for good measure. We take 2 and take Ball and send to Kings for 5,10 and Hield or 5,10 and future 1st next year. Or, we take 2, and send to Sixers for 3 and Saric. We then take Jackson or Ball(whoever is left). We then trade that to Kings for 5, 10, Hield or 1st next year of our choice.
4. Nothing happens and we take Fultz...we all sleep better or not....Medical records we do not know and if something is flagging inside Danny about our first option, anything can happen and probably will.
