They wanted the Lakers' pick.
It will be interesting to see if the end up taking Ball. I think they will and they should- but considering they have Russell and Ball's baggage, i dont think its set in stone.
Im not sure if i would do it- but i think an offer of Randle, Clarkson and the Houston 1st rounder would at least make Indiana consider Paul George.
I dunno - i gotta think the Lakers pick is gonna be Ball. - but can Russell start next to ball? thats the question. If they draft Ball- the PG position is his. Thats for sure.
Jackson is probably the better fit---- but when you need so much help- you take best player available- and i think thats Ball if Fultz is off the board.
What baggage does Russell have?
Some folks have said the Nick Young thing hasn't been forgotten and one of the things the Lakers are said to need to see from him is more maturity.
They certainly seemed to have buried the hatchet this season.
They definitely did so publicly. But you are always going to have folks who think that it's different in the locker room.
We have to thank Paul Pierce for convincing Garnett to wave his trade clause and join the Nets. That was the move that will bring them #18
Yes but that could apply to literally any situation on any team with any players.
While Russ and Swaggy are never going to be BFFs, they certainly showed professionalism last year.
I sincerely hope the Celtics make the Finals every year....
So how soon will we be hearing "I'm taking my talents to Beantown" from Lebron?
even if it hasnt---- i just dont think Russell has the mentality to be a true team leader and the guy driving the car and i dont think hes a great fit as a 2. With Ball's defense i think you want a better defender there- and a guy that can make 3's consistently to spread the floorThey definitely did so publicly.

I think the Sixers see Simmon has a guy who can swing from point to the 4 based on situation. The question ultimately revolved around who he can cover. Given the players that they have, the Sixers look like the sort of team that will play a very different system than just about everyone else.
Ultimately the Sixers live or die on the health of Embiid. He has transcendent talent provided he can stay on the court.
If everything goes right the Sixers COULD be a mid-level playoff team next year. But they could also be a 25 win team again.
