Celtics scheduling workouts with Fox, Isaac and Tatum. Sounds like it's close to a done deal, as is Lonzo to LA now.

Can Danny 'do it!' and take Okafor too, please? Post spins for dayssssss.
That if healthy is the thing though
Simmons is a rookie we ain't seen but has the best vision of people last class or this
Embiid can be the second best Center in the league if he remains healthy
Saric can be a good starter
Fultz can be whatever
The best center.

If Danny turns that pick into De'Aaron fucking Fox I'm going to be mad as hell.

Turning MCW and the Kings trade where we got the swap from to be in the position to have 3 into Fultz would be peak process.
Face it Tiger..

I'm gonna lol at you when he turns out to be Elfrid Payton 2.0
PEAK
Unlike Payton, Fox got a damn working jumper form. And is faster, not as fast as Evans but faster. Has potential to be a good defender

He's nowhere near Fultz or Ball, there are so many red flags there that while it's possible he turns out to be a good player, he would be an awful pick for a team that currently has the #1 pick.
Honestly I don't see the hype with Ball. He put up great numbers with a good supporting cast around him. His jumper is janky as all hell and he almost NEVER drove to the rim. I don't see much of his game translating. His upside is high, but his floor is pretty damn low.
I'd rather take DSJ or Fox, assuming Fultz is already gone.
If the Celtics take Jackson, does that mean Crowder or Brown get shipped in the deal? I'd imagine so.

He's better than Ball in that he can actually move his damn feet on defense
I never said he should be 1 though
Sixers' third this year, Lakers first next year and a future first from Philly is a ton of value for the 1st pick this year, but I wouldn't blame Colangelo for making that deal. Philly could have the next great young core if healthy. Fultz, Simmons and Embiid could be scary good and that's not including guys like Saric.
I like the deal for both sides if it goes down. Ainge could flip the Lakers or Brooklyn's pick next year for Butler while keeping one of them. Or they could hoard their picks and hope they land one of or possibly both Porter/Luka.

1. He should of put up better numbers tbh
2. His jumper and KD's ain't that dissimilar
I'm sick of seeing comps to JKidd though. Just because the nigga a lighty from California doesn't mean he Kidd. His game is nothing like Kidd's.

76ers have looked good on paper for like 3 years now. The draft picks get injured and never play the entire season.
They just fielded a team that had actual NBA talent top to bottom this season for the first time in a minute
Whops forgot about KAT. Hmm I love KAT and I'd take him over embiid in a heartbeat, but in a perfect world where embiid never gets hurt, he has the edge defensively and about even offensively.
Nigga what
Where does that baffoon who would be a beast 15 years ago go? Chicago? Please not Boston, I relatively like them despite hating their city.
Agreed, hopefully KAT improves defensively. He's only what? 21.
No fuck all of this. Ainge stop it. Didn't you just watch the finals?!?!
Where does AD fit in?
We taking 2 games off the cavs next year? Doing it!
Lakers first in '18, future first from Sixers, Okafor, Smart, to Chicago. Celtics get Sixers' third and Butler. Philly gets the first pick.
