Prediction: Celtics Sixers trade falls through

[Ilikesports17]

Seems fishy to me. The deal is basically agreed to, but not until Boston gets to work out some more guys?

Just doesnt sound right. Now Wasserman is reporting it might become a 3 teamer with Butler and Okafor involved and Michael Pina says its not as far along as rumors suggest.

Obviously Lowe Stein Woj are way more reliable than those guys, but it just sounds fishy to me.

I bet it all falls apart.

YES!

Ainge is pressing buttons.

I doubt #1 being traded happens. Rumors help to create buzz around the draft though

I don't think this is just a rumor, not when Stein, Lowe, AND Woj all report this same thing.  I think people need to start accepting that despite what the general public seems to think, Ainge just isn't as high on Fultz as most are.

Or maybe not so much a knock on Fultz, but that he doesn't see as big of a drop-off in talent between the consensus top 3 or 4 picks.  And if thats the case, then you might as well trade down and get some more assets.  It's a gamble for sure, given the hype around Fultz.

I think the 2019 Kings pick becomes the sticking point.

it doesn't make sense that more workouts would be a key when danny is on record recently saying individual team workouts are not that important.

Danny's playing games with the media again, who knows what he's thinking or doing IMO. I don't have a strong opinion about Fultz anyways, but my prediction is the same as the OP's. I got more opportunities to watch Ball, Josh Jackson, and especially Tatum (ACC).
