It's not a certainty that LA would take Ball. They might go another direction.

No! You give ME a break, he was awful today. He's a chucker, when he's on it's great. when he's off Watson needs to pull him.
If you're talking about just today, fine, I agree with you.
Yes today. He was awful out there. So was Dudley who has ballooned in size the last few weeks it seems like
Yes, he was awful today. Dudley couldn't hit anything either but at least he played some really good defense. Ulis, Chriss, and Williams were the heros in this one.
Fine I guess we'll just have to agree then

:D They already owe us in my book. There's no quit in these guys. Turns out our youngsters are better than our veterans.
This run has been fantastic. Whatever happens in the lottery, I know I am going to end this year really believing in the young guys who are currently on our roster.

Thumbs up! Yeah, what a turnaround from the first 3/5 of the year. That was miserable.

Wouldn't that be funny. LA gets the number one pick and takes Fultz. Sorry Papa Ball. You want them, but they don't want you.

Not going to happen though. If LA gets the #1 they are taking Ball.

I can totally seeing the draft order remaining the same again this year and it would just suck big time cause Fultz just has stardom written all over him.
Would McD take Jackson even if he had the #1 overall pick?
No, hopefully he would take Fultz realizing that Bledsoe's knees will give in anytime now.

Fultz is the best player in this draft so they would be smart not to take Ball if they get #1.

Great game. I was lucky to be there....tooooooooo many Celtic fans. Thankfully they were the first to leave. Also my sons forst game and he enjoyed it

Chriss is special as is Ulis. Hope he can bulk up.. with ulis only being 20, and men growing until they are 21/22 there is hope he could gain an inch or two :lol: Not sure what to,do,with this awesome pick we will have. If bled stays healthy do we need ball or fulz? Ball will bolt to the lakers first chance he gets anyways. This team is close to turning the corner.

Also why the hell didn't Boston trade for some size at the deadline. Zeller and that hippy from Canada look like trash and Horford is injured way too much. Maybe trying to preserve cap space but just seems like a wasted opportunity for them. Maybe they make a small play for Len in the offseason

Because they arent beating the Cavs no matter how hard they try.

Please, no more Bledsoe if we can help it.

I wouldn't go that far, but Ulis has been ballin'.
If we do end up with Fultz or ball I'd hope we move Bledsoe because Ulis would get lost on the bench. If we keep bled, which I assume we will, i think Jackson makes more sense for our team.

I don't really like the idea of picking up another SF when we already have Warren and Jones Jr to play there. I'd much rather fix the PG or C positions (draft pass-first PG = must trade Bledsoe). But what do I know?

I think the chance of Fultz or Ball is out the window at this point barring a lottery miracle as they will most likely go #1 and #2, unless Josh Jackson is a surprise pick at 1 or 2. If I'm the Suns, I'm going best player available that is NOT a 2 guard (Booker). We can work around anything else via trades and FA.

Draft Malik Monk, have him, Ulis, Bender and Sauce just running teams off the court. What a bench mob.
