Here's an idea... Why don't we pick Markelle Futlz, THEN...

Why don't we pick Markelle Fultz, THEN...do nothing. Like a sane front office.

Exactly, but it's looking like Danny is insane with either Josh Jackson, more assets, or both. In that case, this should be our Plan B.

I'm a Danny guy. I've always respected, trusted, and defended him. If he's the one who wants to do this, fire him and replace him with Zarren. The deal that Lowe is reporting would irreparably damage this franchise.

Should've said the only one, meaning if ownership and other members of the front office are skeptical.

...wait if Josh Jackson is available at #3 before we execute the trade?

With all the rumors flying around, it seems like the target for Danny Ainge is more picks and be able to land Josh Jackson. Does Philly want Josh Jackson too, which is why they're trying to move at #1?

Regardless, why can't we pick Markelle at #1, and have a deal in place with the Sixers WITH THE ASSURANCE that if Jackson is there at #3, we'll pull the trigger? Wouldn't this be a safer way to conduct business? We negotiate for what we want, and have this clause, that way if the Lakers took him, we keep the best prospect in the draft.

Is this too much to ask?

Might consider Tatum to be just as good and might also have a deal in place to drop down more and get the Kings picks and maybe even another future one

I like Tatum more then Jackson. And the way i see it, the best 3 guys are

#1 Fultz
#2 Tatum
#3 Fox

Yep.  Come on, Danny, work those assets .

Agree entirely. This would be the most foolish thing he could do.
