2017 Offseason Thread

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

I wouldn't be surprised if Danny really is in love with Jackson. And wanted to trade down so he could save the 3 million and change he is going to get by drafting at 3 instead of 1 to sign Heyward this offseason and not have to unload one of the half top 6 guys (Bradley, Crowder, Smarr) to do it. Now we are only something like just over 600K away from having a full max slot available.

Sounds good and all, but Hayward ain't going.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

They are reporting that the trade has been finalized.
I like the lineup of Fultz, Covington, Simmons, Saric, Embiid. I rather them try to get a veteran 3&D Shooting guard.
If it gets done on Monday, it leaves Boston plenty of time to discuss a trade for a star veteran. I dont see the point of stock piling picks if you aren't rebuilding and not trying to trade for a superstar

Figured they'd wait til the Draft to announce it.

So Chicago likely isn't in play at all then?

Per WojGod

Sixers needed Fultz workout/meeting to complete deal w/ Celtics and, as expected, sides have deal for No. 1 pick. Trade call planned Monday.

Fultz wouldn't have gone into workout with No. 3 without assurance trade was agreed upon. Sides have been locked into deal for 24 hours. https://t.co/IiWBLU8A6z

Lakers had interest in pursuing a deal for No. 1 pick/Fultz, but Sixers ability to potentially deliver 3 FRP's in deal too much to overcome. https://t.co/9aBUwqVMiq

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

So is it a guarantee Ball to LA now?

Well it's probably Ball or Fox...

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Hard to argue against that haul. Just hope his plan works out.

Not unless the Sixers plan on sending the 1 and some stuff their way or Boston is packaging 3 and something else for Jimmy.

Would be great if the Lakers took Jackson now to stick it to the Celtics.

I'm not understanding Ainge's gameplan here. You got the number 1 you were looking for, so you traded it to move back to 3 to get two protected first round picks, 1 of them coming from a team who is on the upswing with young talent that could help them make a quick leap and could potentially be landing Paul George in a trade this offseason or before the trade deadline next season?

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

If the lakers take Jackson Celtics probably just take Tatum. Danny obviously doesn't care if he did this now.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Sounds even dumber if you put it that way IMO.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Smart move by Boston they already have enough guards as it is and they can end up with Jackson or Tatum for example as well as that future Lakers pick which unless they make a major splash in free agency next year or their guys hit their ceiling like now should still be a sweet pick. It's a risk, but it is a calculated risk as it stands worth jumping on it. Same for Philly, this is a gamble that can either pay off big or end up being another RGIII scenario.

Well you just said you don't understand the plan. So I get it. There's no way the Celtics take ball if they are not taking Fultz. Obviously Danny is content with whatever he's getting at 3.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Makes it a little better I guess. Kings will likely be trash for the next 150 years at least. Gotta hope that the Lakers pick pans out exactly how they hope. I think Danny might have over thought this thing.

Feeling p good right now.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

What exactly is the plan on Beantown?

Supposedly there are two schools of thought, build for 2018 or build for 2021 and beyond.

But if he's going to try to sign Hayward and Griffin, and then he's going to draft Jackson?

And he already used a #3 last year on Brown?

Guess you can't have enough wings.
