    I'm also deep into this right now:



    click on it and find out all about what makes Fultz the #1 pick. Good stuff on the makings of his college season as well as his actual play. Compares him to Brandon Roy, D'Angelo Russell, Dwayne Wade, and James Harden.

    Randle and 2 for 1? I'd be shocked. Please, trade down.

    Thinking we have no shot at him, I've ignored everything about him. I know nothing.

    Something smells a little fishy to me here too though. Rumors of both LA and Philly trading up after being blown away by Fultz. I think someone is being played and I hope it's not us. I don't want to give up the world for Fultz even though I like him a lot.

    This kind of craziness is great for entertainment right now. I just hope we don't get suckered into anything.

    I agree. Similar level of handle and shooting ability in a more athletic body. Unfortunately some of the same questions as far as motor and focus, but the kid has some amazing talent.

    Still though something is definitely fishy about this picture. The Lakers might give up Randle/#2 (which by the way was just something Jonathan threw out there) for Fultz? Too much. Philly might give up #3/Future picks (multiple!) for Fultz? Oi... Sounds like a lot to me too.

    I'm not sure what Boston really gets from this though. They get more picks and Jackson I guess? Is that worth it? Do they not like Fultz?

    Reportedly, Fultz didn't shoot well in workouts; I don't think that's a deal breaker, though.

    What I do know? Danny loves picks and he may not be sold on Fultz. He figures, I'll fleece Philly (reported) grab Jackson and a couple of future first-round picks.

    Clarkson/#2 for Fultz? That would be interesting.

    Yeah from what I understand Boston wasn't impressed in his workout. Weird to hear that he blew us away though.

    I'm really, really hoping Philly gives up the farm to get him. Screw it. Lakers still get either Ball or Jackson and both are good prospects. I'd rather have Ball + Randle or whatever than Fultz by himself. I could be wrong, but I'll take that chance.

    I'm hoping 76ers blow our offer out of the water (if we are even trying to trade). It shouldn't be too hard for them to do so.

    This seems to me like Ainge stirring the pot with two teams desperate to improve. It also seems like a time when Ainge would try to get in Magic's head and try to trick him into giving up too much. Magic is new to this. Why not test him and see if you can't get a ransom from him?

    I don't think it's a coincidence that we were blown away by Fultz literally within minutes of "Philly/Boston on the verge of a deal".
