When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I'm slightly considering going to the Utah one this year.

I can't wait for the Bulls to once again renew their chase for the Summer League Championship. To repeat as Champions.

Valentine, Cam Payne, Portis(?), Zipser, Felicio? and scrubs are set to repeat.

don't think bobby and felicio are playing because they are Established NBA Players. It'll be Summer League Veteran Payne, Denzel, and Luke Kennard.

Be interesting to see what other picks are included other than this years #3, the Lakers pick for next year might not be that great, they could conceivably win 30 games

Woj indicated it was the Lakers pick and a protected Philadelphia 2021 first, which seems pretty balanced on both sides

We shall see but it seems bos will get a 2021 first if the lakers pick isn't low

Yeah the exact nature of the protections matters a lot.

Kings pick makes that a real good deal for Boston, depending on the protections on it. I'm still happy with the trade though.

That's a dicey trade both ways, depending on how the protections work. Two high lottery picks is an overpay, but if they're top-1 or top-3 protected, does Boston just lose out on a big portion of their haul if the protection kicks in?

If kings is top 3 protected I'm fine

Goose's rebellion

So did Fultz just fail to impress the Celtics or something? Pretty much everybody was saying this draft class was stacked and Fultz was the the best player among them. Now Boston wants to give him up? What changed?

edit: I realize now this might be the wrong thread for this

This doesn't seem quite the same. We're gonna have to wait several years to see Boston fully gently caress up while you'll be satisfied by the all star break.

Can you add protections to another team's pick? Can a pick get multiple layers of protections if it's traded multiple times?

Strongly agree

Although if the Bulls actually pull the trigger on a trade with Boston the protections on the future picks will all kick in and Chicago will end up getting the 2023 76ers second round pick (60th overall)
