I just really don't understand the reasoning behind people castrating the FO for moving up for Fultz. In hindsight, is it going to go down as a bad move? Absolutely. But at the time, I think it made more than enough sense. If we got the player that we thought we were drafting, this discussion would be nowhere near as prevalent. We needed a combo guard who could create off the dribble and shoot from anywhere on the floor. That's exactly what Fultz was. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be who he is anymore. We got it wrong but I think it was a pretty fair guess at the time.
You are right! I actually meant to click edit and say that. Crazy.He actually made one last night. It was uncontested but still, I almost fell off my chair.
even if fultz hit , it was a massive overpayment.
Still not true. The general informed reaction was that Colangelo did well. The cost to trade up to 1 has historically been far more significant.
I feel dirty defending Colangelo, but you can't change what happened.
Ownership was scared of that exact scenario...despite Hinkie supposedly wanting Porzingis. Plus Porzingis' agent was being a douche...not that we couldn't have still drafted his client.Hindsight is 20-20 but remember, Knicks fans booed the Porzingis pick. You think Philly fans would have been any different?
I did not like the trade at the time, and I hate it now. Hopefully i posted about it back then so there is recorded proof of it. You make that deal , if you make it at all, after Boston's selection. Give that extra pick to the Lakers not to Celts. And as a general consensus don't trade with Ainge.
Well...in all fairness you were on record not liking it.
It just sucks we may have a bust on our hands but there is some hope he can be salvaged but not near the level of Tatum. We whiffed pretty much....
Worth noting, and I had forgotten this, Boston were healthy on Tuesday, while the Sixers were absent Muscala, Chandler, and Smith.
I guess in Fultz's case and him being consensus number one at the time....it shows that those who follow dont come in first. Celtics did their homework and fleeced us...I hate that org....and Ainge.
We have video proof of what his shot looked like at the time of the trade. Remember the workout where people were freaking out because his shot wasn't falling and half of Philadelphia media was there to shove a camera in his face and ask pointless questions?
I swear to god, everything about Fultz has just become whatever narrative side of the bed we wake up on today.
Stop feeding the troll. He contradicts himself with every post.
This time last year we started 0-3 and he claimed Ben Simmons should be moved off ball because he wasnt a good passer just a big with skills.
Now he's one of the best passers in the league? It took you a year to come to that conclusion?
Moral of the story is the team is young and will look very different 9 months from now. Stop jumping to conclusions in October.
Anyway, I'll be at this game and the next one.
Im kicking myself for not going all in on season tickets when they were dirt cheap during the Process.
Plan on going to ~50 games between Flyers and Sixers this year but I expect that'll be heavily weighted towards Flyers because of pricing
