I think they idea is to play Simmons and Fultz together but they haven't had enough time to put that in place. Fultz showed flashes of being really good but he wasn't ready for the playoffs. But yeah, it is frustrating to watch Tatum light it up while Fultz rides the pine."Listen to McCarthy" - Art Vandelay

It's hard to tell if Fultz is going to live up to his hype. It's off to a crappy start but he's still only 19. I have an issue with trading up. It wasn't necessary.
Tatum was one of the best defensive players in the draft. That says a lot coming from Duke. Everyone knew Ball was going to the Lakers. It was reported Fultz had a poor workout in Boston. They needed to just sit at the third spot and take what Boston gave them. Once Boston started to make that pick available, they needed to just connect the dots. Did Boston really need another guard? Didn't Tatum make more sense for Boston?
It appears Colangelo most likely made another bad trade due to losing a valuable pick. Boston will now have the option of drafting high or trading that pick along with a player or two to upgrade their team. The Sixers will no longer have these assets since they are a 50-win team and Colangelo trades players for magic beans. If this team wants to make a move for a Leonard or Thompson. it's going to cost them players. Hinkie wouldn't have budged.Last edited by Snakebitten; 05-01-2018, 12:45 PM.

That's exactly how I feel. Apologists say their fear was Tatum goes #1 then Fultz #2 and they wanted nothing to do with Ball but I think the Lakers were a lock for him and they would have gotten Fultz anyway and kept the asset.

The problem is Colangelo doesn't know how to make a Payton-for-Saric or Sacramento cap space type trade. He turns chicken salad into chicken shit. When you make a move with your biggest rival, you can't get schooled. It's going to be very difficult for Fultz to be better than Tatum and a high draft pick. He panicked.

What makes me sick is under Hinkie the team was putting dreck on the court and risking 41 games of flies in the stands and no one watching them at all to tank away for a few years to get high picks and this jerkoff Colangelo just gives away Sacramento's pick for no reason! That pick will be Top 5 for sure (or higher).
