That's great. He'll probably be up with the team next season. But, I'm sure there will be some additions & changes going into 2018 with that #1 pick plus possibly trading for a Jimmy Butler type player. That might be based on how we end up finishing this season though. Thanks.

With us winning the Draft Lottery with the #1 pick what will we do with it? You guys think we keep it just like the #3 pick last year & just pick a player or do we use it for trade bait for trying to get someone like Jimmy Butler, Gordon Hayward, or some other star/superstar player?

I think if we keep it to make a pick we take Fultz from Washington. Ball is hard to pass on but we don't need anymore PG's. Fultz is an all-around player & I think a player that's going to be better than Jaylen Brown whom we got with the 3rd pick last draft. However, if we can pull off a trade to get a star/superstar player to add to what we already have then I'm all for it as long as we don't get rid of too much or the wrong players.

I would think Crowder & Bradley would be 2 player for sure that teams will be asking for in a trade & possibly Rozier or Smart as well. I think it might be best to just keep what we already have & draft a player. Forget the trading & add a player like Fultz.

We would then have 3 really good young players in Brown, Rozier & Fultz. Also, Nader from the D-league who played extraordinary this season. Unless it's Butler or Hayward for no more than say Rozier, Crowder, & Brown/Bradley then I say don't do it Danny. Thanks.

Don't trade the #1 pick for Butler or one year of PG13. Draft Fultz, sign Hayward. Profit.

I like your thinking but I see no way we get Hayward without some type of trade in return. I haven't even looked but is Hayward a RFA or UFA? If he's an UFA then that's certainly possible but if he's a RFA then no other way to get him other than a trade. Thanks.

I think he's an UFA but Utah can pay him alot more than any other team so it will be interesting.

I'm back on keep the pick train though I think Fultz is gonna be a stud.
