I want Fultz on this team. Talk me down off the ledge.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

I have spent too much energy on Fultz, I will be sick if we don't get him!!

Ive never watched so much videos on draft prospects ever in life. Ive even watched two seasons of his Capitol Hoops documentary lol.

m2, if there is a Fultz video, I have seen it and I mean minute long or less IG or something from snapchat. pictures, articles or things from people that say they met him on the street lol. it's a problem at this point.

of course, as always, I will go with whatever DA does but I will be even more upset than I was when he passed on Giannis, I looked at some things on him but this is a whole new level... borderline stalker.

We are not gonna miss on Fultz this time! He'll be wearing green. (not Milwaukee-green)

[Celtics4ever]

Sometimes we get our way in life and sometimes we don't.   The draft is something that people are often sharply divided on.   Its nothing I would lose sleep over though no matter how much video I have watched.   Get off the computer and go outside and do something to distract yourself that you enjoy.

I have a feeling that the sun will come up the day after the draft no matter what Ainge does....

I've been on the Jackson train since day one.  He's a better fit and fills a need.  He's explosive and can play multiple positions plus we have too many pg.

What need does he actually fill? Wing defence?

Whereas Fultz, who should pan out as an elite scoring point guard who also happens to be one of the longest on record, doesn't fill a need? Give me a break.

[hodgy03038]

We obviously need scoring on this team besides IT. We definitely need a quality BIG. Yes we have a boatload of guards and Fultz would just add to that but he has elite offensive ability and size. Jackson from what I have seen is very limited offensively but is very good defensively with high motor. He has the size of a SF. We have Crowder & Jaylen at that position now plus we are rumored to be going after Hayward. We keep stacking the same positions. I understand that Danny probably wants more shots at the bigs from next year's draft but I want to improve this year's team. I would HATE to make Philly a superteam with a trade of Fultz who turns into a superstar while we have a plethora of good but not "star" players. I am on the ledge with you brother and don't really have the answers but hope that Danny knows exactly what he is doing.

The trade hasn't happened yet. That's really the only way to make yourself feel better about this. If Danny does trade #1, I've got nothing for you.

Posted this in another thread, but I'll add it here because of how you worded it-


People get too caught up on the thought of trading away the chance to draft Fultz. However, based on the top players expected to be available in 2018 via draft express and the fact that 2019 draft top pick, Marvin Bargley Jr., is a generational type talent. Then it's easy to see the rationale here.


Fultz

for

Jackson, Tatum, or Ball
+
2018 - Doncic, Porter, Ayton, or Bamba
+
2019 - Bagley Jr., Langford, Reddish, or Williamson


Now doesn't the thought of that take people off the ledge? Plus, we could potentially net (pun intended) two of those players in 2018.

I'm very apprehensive about the rumors myself.  Now that we have the opportunity to draft the next superstar, I'm not fond of the idea of trading it.  But in the event that there's fire underneath the smoke, it's worth noting that Fultz isn't guaranteed to make us contenders, and it's also worth noting that he's not the only player with the potential to make us contenders. 

And I'll also say this:  whether I like a move or not, Ainge has been a shrewd trader over the last several years and he has a ton of leverage here.  Philly and LA apparently want Fultz badly, but they can't have him unless Ainge gets exactly what he wants.  They know it, he knows it.

If im Danny Ainge n im talking to Magic im telling him if he wants Markelle then i want Brandon Ingram, 2nd pick and 2019 1st round pick if thats not an offer im hanging up.

As far as Jimmy Butler goes, its a swap for him and the 1st round pick and absolutely nothing else and if thats not enough im hanging up and picking Fultz at #1

Offense is overrated

Offense is overrated

The Celtics offense, yes.  The Warriors offense, no.

I don't think we can count on the LA pick being high enough for those players in 2018, or the SAC pick being high enough in 2019. Ainge is playing with fire.

I agree with this! Pretty much what I said, would really hate to see him become a star with another team. On the ledge with you too!

The last few NBA champions disagree.
