Markelle Fultz no longer in Philly long term plans. Philly plans on trading the number one pick.

yup pretty much. leave it to Colangelo. fukk Adam Silver for forcing that goofy ass motherfukker on us. I've been on the Fultz support wagon ever since the circus started but it has truly became exhausting these last few weeks. I still hope the kid thrives somewhere eventually.

The only thing I wanna know is what Ainge saw before the draft. I could be wrong but IIRC, Boston did intend to take Fultz originally. Help me out here.

He had to be a league plant forced on the team to punish them for tanking.

:snoop:

This part..based on what? Something you’ve seen or just your overestimation of anything young?

The Heat turned D-league/2nd round talent(J Rich, TJ, McGruder) and journeyman(Whiteside; JJ, Waiters) into legit NBA players. A guy like Fultz with his upside would likely become an All Star here.

I feel like really? Like, really, Ainge is the GOAT off this move. Like, I know most people were stunned he traded that pick, and all the mocks had him in love with Josh Jackson......but he clearly liked Tatum more than people thought and he clearly saw something he didn’t like in Fultz.

I think we can all agree that it was a rare few who foresaw Fultz having this sort of a start to his career.

He traded 2 first rounders for damn Goran Dragic...

Traded away freaking Michael Beasley for old and hobbled Mike Miller...


Pat Riley doesn't like young players, doesn't believe in developing young players...his whole thing is clear cap space, remain competitive and utilize the trade market and free agency market...

I'd make that trade asap:wow:

Wasn't sure before ,but if Philly is willing to make this trade its obvious they just found out he simply doesn't want to be in Philly,and has been playing them in an attempt to get traded.. I imagine Mama Fultz showing Markelle that "involuntary tick"/ as a means of physcological warfare:lolbron:

I'm holding out for breh on a new squad under new management. People forget he's a BABY. Doesn't seem like a bad dude, but something is clearly off with him. Hope it works out.

He went there for a visit. Ainge took him to lunch. They took pictures of fultz with the banners and everything.

And then Danny trades the pick.
