That is a loving Hinkie-rear end Sam Hinkie Trade

The Spirit of Hinkie lives on.

Also with those protections, the trade is absolutely terrible for the Celtics and I cannot believe they made it.

It would be terrible without the protections, they should be in win-now mode and instead Ainge is trying to turn the consensus #1 pick for a wing who can't shoot and an asset that will be entering his prime some time around 2024. If he turns those assets into Jimmy Butler like SAS says he is I think this is good deal, but as it is its bizarre.

It doesn't really matter what all but the first 2 or 3 GMs think of Fultz. Half the league is just poo poo talking because they don't have a chance to get him anyway.

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
I usually wouldn't think that was a legitimate criticism but Washington was an unusually atrocious team and only won 2 games total in their conference play.

I still think he's worth the #1 pick but like god drat that is bad.

A little talked about story is that their draft workouts have been apparently a total mess. I mean they don't have a GM, but a team should still have the organizational competence to run it without him. They also have been stonewalled for workouts. I had them drafting Bam because he was one of the few players projected first round they got in there.

I have no idea what would make sense right now. I assume MN won't give up KAT, Wiggins and LaVine but I am not sure what makes sense beyond that.

Boston should be able to beat them pants off any deal if that is what Boston wants to do.

I guarantee the Bulls front office still loves Kris Dunn, because they haven't done any follow-up on how he's performed in the NBA

Dunn + 7 + ...let's say Gorgui Dieng, for someone who isn't that good, yet will still make the Bulls needlessly better without getting them any younger

If Butler goes to the Cavs there's no reason the other 2 alphas couldn't go with him after they sign vet minimums.
