He dumped 2 injured PGs this season, and picked up an allstar PG and a good combo forward. If Hayward hadn't gotten injured they would own the east at this point.
They also got another great pick in addition to Tatum. And despite the injury still lead the east, currently.

It's his shoulder, Fultz knees are fine. But ya, very good move by ainge. Tatum looks very good early on.
AND knees. He had knee issues in college as well as this month in the NBA.

I stand corrected.
I'm still not worried about Fultz. I think he's still the best prospect in this draft and is going to be a great fit alongside Simmons and Embiid.

But, was he one of the best prospects in the past decade +? I'm kidding because I've seen a few people claim this.

If it's the best draft in a decade, and he's the best prospect...
But Simmons is killing it, so everyone else has some ball to play before we even talk about them. I was a Simmons doubter, but he is balling.

This was a great draft, but it was great because it had a lot of B+/A- talent. I loved Simmons in 2016 and was pretty disappointed we didn't get a shot at him. He looks special so far.
Speaking of this draft class, Lauri Markkanen looks very good early on as well.

I could tell Simmons was special in the limited time I saw him in Summer League 2 years ago.

Absolutely. That passing ability at that size and speed is uncanny. Lonzo Ball wishes he was like that.

Oh yeah, I could tell Simmons was special even far before that.

NOP: They are starting E'twan Moore and running Jameer Nelson off the bench for almost 30 minutes. Bledsoe would immediately be their best SG, and would eventually give them a 3-guard rotation of Holiday, Bledsoe, Rondo (when Rajan gets healthy).
They don't have any players we want
I'd love to get Cheick Diallo.

These are the types McD should be looking to get in a deal, some under the radar guys who need a shot, not the big name non performing guys like Mudiay.

I don't think we have room for under the radar guys to get minutes unless they're taking time from our current projects.

May the best project win. Competition is good, unless its Chriss, then you pout.

For the record I'd definitely attach Chriss to Bledsoe to get Brogdon and Parker. Won't happen, but I can dream.

No kidding. I dream of getting a real asset out of combining those two. Something like Bledsoe, Chriss, and 2 first round picks for Anthony Davis... Again, dreaming.
Unfortunately, I think the rest of the league can smell the stink on Chriss. His value hasn't ever been lower than it is now.

Ha ha. I had never seen him play until that summer league. Never saw him play in college.
