I can understand Fultz wanting a shot to run an offense but Brett caused this too. Instead of forcing him off ball when HE KNEW it wasn’t gonna work, should’ve started with him as the back up point from the beginning.
Brett was the main one insinuating over the course of TC that Fultz was a PG. Him as the backup point from the start is 20 minutes he can run the show rather than 10 minutes being offball with TJ

I'm all for dealing Fultz at this point. Team is 10-0 at home and we're starting to close out games in the 4th. And yet he's one if the main storylines still

Yes but Fultz came into the league as a combo guard. That’s what we drafted him for. Because we thought he’d be such a great fit next to Simmons in the backcourt, not because we thought he’d be a great backup to Simmons. So Brett was at least trying to see if he could make it work with him as that combo guard they thought they were getting...or if he’d HAVE to play PG in order for him to have a chance at looking good.
I’m telling you guys though...if we could get D-Lo from the Nets this could help all parties tremendously. I wouldn’t mind swapping Fultz and Josh Jackson either. Jackson would be a great player to have vs the Celtics and Raptors with his ability to guard multiple positions. Both the Nets and Suns would be good spots for him where there wouldn’t be immediate pressure on Fultz to live up to being the #1 pick.

BINGO
Idk where all this narrative came from Fultz needing to back simmons up came from. He was supposed to fill the need of being a primary wing scorer that can create his own shot. And he's not doing that
Let him ride the bench, let him get healthy, let him get whatever. But stop this distraction from this team that's won 4 straight

With all the talk about Embiid running his mouth, at the end of the day, he knows his place and doesn't let his ego get in the way of team success. He always has his teammate's back, it's just the other teams can't stand it.

Agreed, him being a backup to Simmons is the worst case scenario. This was a guy people were calling the next Brandon Roy. He was supposed to be our closer, not fighting for minutes with TJ Mcconnell. As much as i'd hate to give up on him so early, it's clear that him and Simmons can't play together.
But not trading him for Josh Jackson, no way. Dude's a headcase and won't amount to much in the league. We can do better than that. D'lo sounds good on paper, but he's a restricted free agent and we are not sure what the Nets plans are with him. I like Dlo, but our gaping hole is at the 4.

Jimmy ****in Butler 
Can’t lose a 15+ point lead if you let the other team do it
D is still a disaster on pick and rolls, need to fix that

Talks of Cleveland wanting Fultz
Hope we find out the news of his specialist visit either today, if not tomorrow. Want this **** to be over with man

We all want this over with.
There's nothing in Cleveland I would want for Fultz. Either Orlando for Simmons and a pick or Brooklyn for Russell
Would hate to give him away for peanuts and THEN he figures it out

Trade him to Phoenix for Mikal

My friends were saying they'd take JR and Korver for Fultz, and they seemed excited about it. Last year's #1 overall pick for two role players, disgraceful

I wouldn't go as far as to say there's NOTHING in cleveland. I would gladly take Sexton for Fultz but thats not happening.
My ideal scenario would be a 3 and D vet that can lead the second unit with Shamet.

Still gonna need a G. Ideally we dont want TJ as the full time back up. He's gonna get roasted
- 35,021
- 16,934
I'd love to see TJ as our Nick Collision. Not the most talented but high energy and hustle that can be used late in games. And have him on our team his entire career for cheap.
But yeah, TJ is not our guy at G for the second unit

Woj article says the team still WANTS Fultz to be here and to be the back up point off the bench
Nothing makes sense. I just want the kid to play

I mean...of course they’re not going to put it out there that they want his weird *** out the door as soon as possible.

The kid HAS played and hasn't really shown much. Unless this diagnosis shows a major injury and a plan to rehab, we've pretty much seen everything he can do.
I truly believe that it's an injury that's causing his lack of confidence with his shot. I think he will be fine career wise but my patience is wearing thin for him and his role on this team

He's shown enough to be the back up point. Yes we all love TJ but he sucks when given extended minutes.
Our coach is a damn idiot who sucks with line up changes. Talks about Markelle is a PG but forces him off ball in the starting line up knowing damn well it isnt going to work AND then benches him to start the 2nd half to prove a point. Fultz has his issues but lets not act like the team has helped him succeed with it.

Fultz has been leading the second unit ever since Butler came. And he has not taken advantage of that at all
Is he a PG or a two way guard? Because if it's the latter, he should be able to adapt whether Ben is on the floor or not.
If he would have been benched to start this season, BB would have gotten crucified. He was just trying to give Fultz some burn to get his confidence back.
I will give Fultz credit though. Because while his shot has suffered, he has had a decent impact on other areas of the game.
Believe me, I'm one of the biggest Fultz apologists out there and have been from the beginning. I'm just being realistic. We've been spoiled but rookies becoming superstars their first year. Fultz is showing an improvement from last year. His development is just too slow for this team, especially in this win now mindset.
I love Fultz but if we can get a vet who can score 15-20 off the bench and play defense, I'm taking that in a heartbeat.

I definitely agree with this. I wouldnt say his development is too slow but Brown has the shortest leash with him. He's never gonna learn and develop if Brown takes him for a turnover
I doubt anyone wouldve had issues with him coming off the bench knowing how good our starting 5 was. The problem is always how Brown uses players and not the players themselves. Once he got benched for Butler, then Brown started using Ben off ball at the 5 with Fultz running the point and it worked for the 2 minutes on the court until his robotic line up changes lol
