This is a done deal.  The 76ers gave up too much, but it doesn’t matter to them.  They got the best player in the draft.  Perhaps the best player in the last five years and that’s all the 76ers are looking for.  They can match Fultz with Embiid, Simmons, Saric, and a ton of cap space.  It’s not a future as bright as the Celtics, but it’s a team with such skilled starters that it might not matter.  Danny Ainge just Sam Heinked the SH%* out of that trade, but it doesn’t matter.  The process still delivers on its promise and it’s going to be a ton of fun to watch for the next decade.
