So Philly gives up Okafor and a draft pick to go up 2 spots to draft a point guard. not to mention, Simmons is projected to be the PG. 🤔.

In some drafts, the price to go from 3 to 1 would be that high, but it's not this draft. I think 1-3 are the same value.

Crowder and pick 1 doesn't get Jordan and pick 3.

I'd argue that having the ability of adding Fultz would be huge for Philly. If the guard they had the ability to get was Ball or Fox, you're both probably right. But Fultz is better than them, and fits exactly what Philly needs. In that case, you'd be able to play him with Embiid, Saric or Crowder, Simmons and a shooter of your choice at any of the 1-4. There's a ton of positional flexibility, and most of them can handle the ball.

I don't think they're all that high on Okafor, so the cost is relatively prohibitive. If they were moving to #2, it's mostly useless, since the guys available at three would be an even swap, but Fultz would be a perfect get for them.

This would all depend on if the Clippers get blown up this year. and they might need a little bit more back too. I'd consider throwing Bradley or Rozier their way as well.

I don't know if I would do this as Boston, but that's just because I've fallen in love with the idea of Fultz there, and no longer want any of the rest of the top four. but it would be a huge get to bring in Jordan.

I agree there is a big jump from 3 to 1 talent wise with Fultz and he'd be a great compliment with his size, shooting ability and being able to play off-ball at times to Simmons and still be effective. The price for 76ers is on the high end but I think that is what it'll take to convince Celtics to move the 1st but even that likely isn't enough. There are plenty of other ways the Celtics could add Jordan while giving a more attractive to LA than this and keep their #1 pick. I don't see Celtics moving Fultz unless its for a star and although value wise 76ers are giving a solid return its still no star.

Picks 1-3 do not have the same value especially when it comes to payroll. Even talent wise they differ, each brings something different to the table.

But I definitely think that Ainge will dupe the Lakers and Magic into thinking he will pick Ball to see if they'll blink and make a phone call to DA to see what's up. If they can get a realistic trade asset (not Moz or Deng) from the Lakers and use that and the #2 pick to Detroit or Miami or another team to get a big that will step in and be an impact player then he'll do that.

If Bulls trade Butler then maybe a package of Jimmy and Lopez would definitely make the C's better.
