If Boston takes J.Jackson #1.....

Sixers/Lakers trade

Sixers get:#2 pick, Mozgov. Draft Fultz.
Lakers get:#3 pick. Draft Ball and clear $$ to sign FA(George) next year.

I think if Ainge has targeted Jackson as his guy, AND if the lakers at #2 have promised Jackson they will take him if he's there, then Ainge can't afford to trade down because Jackson will be gone. And Magic Johnson sees this as a rare opportunity where he can still get his giy (Ball or Fox) and unload the anchor that's stopping him from being finamcially able to bring in George next year w/ o giving up any assets. Sixers take on mozgovs (or Deng, really doesn't matter in the deal) contract and get the guy they covet in Fultz.

Would you really take Mozgov's contract for moving up one spot?

Maybe Deng and #2, he would at least fit a bigger need for the Sixers, but no to Mozzie.

Gasupo: Only if Fultz is there. he's a perfect fit with sixers and we have so much cap space it would be worth it.

76ers can easily take Mozgov's contract also concerning long term flexibility (Simmons', Saric' and Fultz' are on rookie contracts same time or longer)

Id be in to do this if I were the sixers gm.

Paying 50 million for one spot is crazy. 76ers have TLC, Korkmaz, Stauskas, Anderson who can play the role of deng and are better players.
Additionally the celtics pick fultz. The unknown gm was magic or colangelo. They want to sell their picks high to move back.

@ps

None of the guys you mentioned are better players then deng. I do agree that the jackson talk to bostom is all bs though. Fultz will be their pick.

I kind of believe the jackson to boston rumors. Celtics need a backup plan if hayward doesn't sign with them. Jackson fits better with the celtics with the way their roster is constructed. Adding fultz would only cause a logjam forcing them to breakup their core (crowder or bradley) . With the celtics in win now mode i think adding an athletic wing would be the safer route, and jackson isn't that much of a reach at #1. And if this is the way itd play our as a sixers fan i wouldn't mind trading up and taking on mozgovs or dengs contract to take fultz. There isn't a prospect in this draft class who fits as well as he does, imo it'd be well worth it. Also mozgovs and dengs cobtract would be up by the time simmons and saric rookie contracts would be coming to an end. No harm no foul.
