Danny Ainge confirms he will draft Fultz, in not so many words

Mike Gorman ask what the c's need

Danny say shot creaters/scorers that can score at the end of the game. Sounds like Fultz to me. Hayward too.

You guys realize this is basically an admission Smart is a bust right?

Drafting Fultz means Smart can take a seat.

It's also an admission Avery is probably on the way out

This is trolling right?

It sure seems like it. Very frustrating.

Hehe also said that pick has trade value.

I hope fultz is the guy! My ideal scenario would be to sign Hayward in the offseason and trade Jae for a big. Does anyone think it's possible to get Steven Adams with Jae as the centerpiece? Moving hordord to a playmaking 4 I think would help us a lot with defense and rebounding with a legit big beside him.  I would let I.T go after next season and let fultz take over after that.  We would be able to go over the cap to resign Bradley right? I think if we are trotting out a starting 5 of
Fultz-Bradley/Brown-Hayward-Horford-Adams that would be a heck of team with a bright future!

2:47 "I always say the hardest thing to find are guys that can score at the end of games."

That's my thinking too and it certainly applies to the Cs. I'd be shocked if it wasn't Fultz barring a trade for an existing star which I doubt includes Butler (Bulls won't rebuild) or PG (there's no way to ensure he stays).

As for Smart, if he could ever find some offense, he'd be elite. There's still time unless he's in a trade for an existing star.
