We can now officially move on to this discussion: IF WE TRADE FULTZ, I WILL BE MAD. Unless its for Anthony Davis, he is untouchable.

Who besides Felger wanted to give up the pick plus 3/4 of Brown, Bradley, Smart, & Crowder ?

Leaving drawing room. Boston's lottery number came up three straight times.

When the C's finally get #1, they really get #1.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Look I'll say it. This makes the coming series just house money. Take Fultz and never look back man.

Honestly, as bad as it sounds this really is true. 

Even if the Cavs sweep us in four games by an average of 20 PPG, it still couldn't take the shine off this season and this team.

* Best record in the East
* Eastern Conference Finals berth
* Emergence of Isaiah Thomas as a true superstar
* #1 pick in a loaded draft

I have been managing my expectations about this pick from day one just to avoid disappointment, and I am nothing but thrilled to see where we are now.

Philly did their rebuild one way, we did ours in another - I'd say our method won this time around. 

Where is LarBird now?  He'd be ecstatic!

The intrigue of the next few years now becomes how Isaiah Thomas and Markelle Fultz will play together.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

Let's see if we can carry one of the extras over to next year.

With the 2017 number one pick, and the Nets 2018 pick, trader Dan could really get creative.

Or we could just go with Fultz and a free agent.

The options are huge.

Half this board. The usual trigger happy traders.

I totally agreed! I miss Labrd33.

But honestly, this year has been an absolute defining moment for us.

We used to reminisce, and I remember earlier posts that indicated pessimism. "1st round fodder! 48 win team! Top 10 pick!"

But ooh man, the only thing that would have made everything that much better, would've been if Stevens at least got close to COTY. I just can't believe, and I'm completely miffed at how he deliberately got shoved aside.

"I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses
Can't define how I be dropping these mockeries."

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
It's based on your perspective, quite simply
We're the same and we're not; know what I'm saying? Listen
Son, I ain't better than you, I just think different
