They would then flip the 3 to sac for the 5 & 10. I have no idea it was all rumors

That offer is a spicy meatball.

If I'm Ainge I prolly pull the trigger. That being said I'm a fan of WCS and not too impressed by Fultz.

I dont think Fox is going to be there at the 5 pick. Everything ive read is hes been on the rise over the past couple weeks.

Most likely Tatum + Collins/Frank/Smith/Markanan at 10.

I'd just hold the pick and take Fultz. Best player in the draft. Kids got handles, can pass, shoot the 3, and get to the rim at will. Huge hands and hes long. Hes also the youngest guy outside of Frank going in the top 10. Be lame if he gets ruined by the kings!

Hell of a offer though. Be interesting to see what Ainge thinks of it.

This article discusses those rumors a bit. Sounds like some rumors that the kings want to trade up to not only the first pick but also pick 3. They want Fultz to workout for them currently. Sounds like they want Fox if they can get to the 3 pick.

Now if im the sixers and i can get the 5 or 10 for the 3 spot im for sure moving it. That would be perfect for them. Sixers must love trading with the kings.

Yeah you gotta do that trade if you're the Sixers despite them desperately needing to consolidate assets. They have so many picks and guys on cheap contracts and then a ridiculous amount cap space. Something has to give.

Also lol Fultz if he works out for the Kings. Have some self respect. Shame on any lottery prospects who would signal to the Kings that they'd want to go there.

Best part if that trade happen is that beside fultz, Frank is the best fit for 76ers

If Ben Simmons is really a point forward and the process is healthy, potential all defensive team with a 3 pt shot that is not broken is the perfect fit

FRANK-TLC-Covington-Ben-Joel looks like a great team lock top 3 D for the future

I dont know what they can get if they trade 3 for 10

Don't think I like this for Boston tbh. Think Fultz/Lonzo are a tier above the rest of the draft, Okafor/Holmes don't move the needle at all, they should be able to get a better haul than that.

Nobody moves the needle. If I were Boston I'd be trying to kick that can down the road and grab some picks for 2020 and 2021 when Lebron is slowing down.

Boston best move is 100% trading IT this summer when his value is so high

Who is dumb enough to trade for him? Maybe the circus?

Bait a 3 years bad contract and a lotto pick. I think they can catch a fish like this

If your goal is to wait for Lebron to decline, I think you should want your young core to be in their third or fourth years, at least, by the time you think he is vulnerable, so they have matured enough to take over right away.

He's an expiring contract looking for a payday who is recovering from a torn labrum in his hip, an injury suffered by Martell Webster, Gerald Henderson, Johnny Flynn, Jordan Hill, and Lamarcus Aldridge. Flynn is the most comparable player and the hip problem killed his potential, but IT's hip issue is not as severe.

I'd think a team would want to wait and see how he recovers before making a deal that isn't some lowball offer.

That would be so great. Would also be nice to see Lonzo on Philly.

I have this weird feeling Lonzo will end on the kangz and that franchise will continue to fall apart

If Lonzo falls to or the kings trade up and take him it would be some epic entertainment on draft day.

Lonzo to the Kings and Vivek hiring Lavar to coach the team would be A+.

Jackson promised by Lakers imo. I think Ball will be worse than Jackson, Fultz, Fox but somebody will snatch up Ball. He won't slip past Suns at 4.

I've seen 76ers fan sites saying Ball would be an excellent fit with Simmons, but I don't really see that that's so obvious. I'm still high on Lauri for the 76ers if the Lakers take Jackson. That would maybe give the Suns a choice between Fox and Ball? So there is a realistic hope of a hometown drafting for the ballerbrand.

Best fit for the 76ers is clearly not lonzo when he does exactly on offense what simmons does. Malik monk fills a need for them in terms of shooting, fox fills a need for a p.g & josh jackson would be best player available if they want to go that route. Will be malik is they trade down & fox or josh if they stand pat, see them taking fox at #3 most likely.

If suns pick fox at #4 do they then trade bledsoe for another pick in this draft & if so how high a pick can they garner for bledsoe?
