Sixers and Celtics talking draft swap

[mall3013]

Whoa whoa whoa. That's...not that great of a deal for Boston. They should have gotten both picks. If that's the deal, they'd have been better off taking Fultz imo.

On the flip side, that's a big win for the Sixers

It's about fucking time we won something..

 

[Four4Four]

Agreed and kudos to the Sixers FO for sticking with him throughout the process. Now's his time to step up and guide this team to becoming a winner.

Even though brown will never have a winning record as a coach, I'm glad they're still sticking with him as well.

Do the Sixers have another 1st rounder this season? I wonder if they can package another deal to move up or gain more picks in the future?

 

[Four4Four]

Not sure. I think we have enough 19 to 22 year olds. We need some vets and maybe the Sixers can be like the magic with Shaq and penny.

Agreed, plus I don't think Brown even cared about his record knowing a rebuild process would put him way WAY below .500. I'm glad he didn't bail and now I hope he can reap the benefits of coaching a young talented team and getting them to the playoffs and hopefully one day a title/banner to raise.

No other firsts, just the top pick.

Who do the 6ers trade okafor for now? They could get a pretty solid wing for him.

Not sure his value is that high right now?

Nothing. His trade value is worse then a flaming bag of dog shit.

Has this been finalized yet?

On Monday it will be

So there's no chance of something going wrong and someone bails? It feels like there are too many teams and scenarios in this trade for something not to go wrong here. We shall see very soon though.

They have cap space to do it. Just learn from the Lakers mistakes. Unless you sign an all star like Lowry, stick to short term deals for those vets so you can retain cap flexibility to sign more good players once you start winning.

Still not sure what the price should have been, but good for the 6ers that they were able to put some protections in there. Would like to see a top 3 protection on the Kings pick too, but oh well. That one could be just as valuable as the Celts' 2018 Nets pick.

The reason it didn't get finalized yesterday is because the 76ers are determined to screw it up. The original deal was #3 this year, Lakers #1 pick next year and Sacramento's #1 in 2019. The 76ers decided they didn't want give up the Lakers pick next year and they can't deal their own by NBA rules. Boston said "No Deal" and now they're trying to reach some accord. Maybe #3, 2019 Sacramento and the 76ers 2020? Someone mentioned a 2021 1st Round pick.

IF I'm Ainge, I tell the 6ers to "Go Screw" and deal the pick to the Lakers for the #2 and Randle. That way the C's get Jackson and Randle, the Lakers get Fultz and the 6ers get the Ball headache.

Pay attention. The deal is pretty much final

Re-read Stepien rule. You are just flat out dead wrong.

Maybe in your part of the country it is, but according to the sports media here in Boston it ain't. Wojo and the rest of these guys are trying to be "first" and not necessarily most accurate.

I've been watching Boston news, especially CSNNE because they carry the C's games and have the most "in touch" guys when it comes to the C's. All of them say that the deal has been agreed upon..."in principal", but the Celtics are not going to make the deal with protections on future picks. They already have two future picks that are protected if one is 6+ and the other 9+.

Ainge should just tell them to go fuck themselves. If no one wants the pick, use it on Thursday to pick Jackson anyway. I guarantee that the 6ers or Lakers will make a better deal.

Really? Post me a source.

Deal is one.

 

[BigKen]

or MAYBE .................whomever the Celtics are going to trade these picks to for a player or players doesn't want a protected pick. So a third "unknown" team may be making the choices for the Celtics.

I just did you moron...........................apparently YOU can't read.
