Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 Just now, Mauro Pedrosa said: Clifford probably lol. I really wanted Monk here and he was attainable. Fultz Monk Isaac Gordon Bamba would be something to be excited about They didn't want to give him up to get Marc Has. Not sure he was really available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 I understand not wanting to give up Monk for a potential FA. Now, would they consider Monk for a mid-lotto or mid-teens pick? Man, if Fultz can really turn it around and get back on the right development path, we are golden. I'm rooting hard for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Close 63 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 For the most part we’re all very happy, but the one true question we all have is... Fultz4thewin, or Markelle4thewin? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 I hope Fultz becomes good friends with JI as he is a quality dude and answers to a higher power; perhaps he can help Fultz with his inner demons. We are the perfect spot for Fultz and I hope JI, Bamba, Iwundu and Fultz live at our gym this summer. AG will most likely train in Cali, but would be nice if he stayed home.

ML6 520 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 I’m still a bit shocked. This is the type of move that builds trust between the fans and the FO, and it’s not just this isolated move in a vacuum. It’s that they turned inconsequential/marginal/mediocre assets into the chance at changing the franchise. This is the type of thing we’ve been wishfully dreaming of for a few years. Hell, none of us seriously thought Fultz would be available for something other than Ross. Even if it doesn’t work out, this is a bet you take everytime. As far as I’m concerned, WeltHam should get the benefit of the doubt until they give us reason to retract it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicfan1987 266 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 It is still surreal to have a bonafide #1 overall pick. No one was picking anyone over Markelle with that pick. He could be the best point guard prospect of the past 5 years. This is crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know there's no guarantees here, and some things need to play out just right, but it's amazing how the parts now seem to fit right into place. We no longer have to overspend on a guy Rozier in the hopes he can become a starter, and we can focus on development and team building and add the one or two missing ingredients over time. Our future has gone from fairly cloudy to pretty rosy essentially overnight. I hope I'm not being overly optimistic here but something about this move just feels right 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could be the best point guard prospect of the past 5 years. This is crazy It’s important to realize he shouldn’t be viewed as the number 1 pick here. He’s a guy we traded Sinmons and a protected late first for. Like Woj said, our FO loves what he could be but we have to remember there is a reason he was just traded for so little. Im as happy as anyone but we need to have realistic expectations. He’s not the #1 pick for us. He doesn’t need those expectations to live up to. He’s already in a weird place mentally with things he needs to come here knowing we aren’t demanding production of a #1 pick. Patience is going to be key. Hopefully people don’t flip on him as quickly as they have Bamba. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
