I don't get what your point is. Im not comparing jae/marcus/bradley to Wiggins, I'm comparing Markelle Fultz to Wiggins.
And im aware about our role players. I dont get your point about mentioning them, though. That I shouldn't worry about them being traded because they're role players? You yourself just said they have so much more value for boston than for a rebuilding chicago. you def shouldnt trade them
 
Jaylen was not a reach -- he just wasn't expected by you guys. Celtics did not want Kris Dunn, who was the 3rd best prospect, but 4-8 were all interchangable. Celtics didn't want a shooter, they wanted a defender, so it was between Jaylen and Bender -- which I said all through the draft process. he's currently playing like a top 5 drafted rookie this season even with limited playing time -- and we ALL know buddy hield is not worth Demarcus Cousins. He's not fucking invaluable like you seem to always be suggesting. He'd be worth a mid-late lotto pick in this upcoming draft (#8-13), which has a good amount of value to it
You were comparing the value of the deals without even mentioning the circumstances, that was the point. They had no other suitors, and still ended up getting the #1 pick. No one knows if that Nets pick will be #1. There is a 75% chance it won't be. Regardless, unless Jimmy Butler's agent tells the Bulls that he'll only re-sign with Boston, it's not a comparison worth making. But that also doesn't matter because he's not a free agent until 2019. 
 
I agree, they are worth much more to Boston or other contending teams, which is why they shouldn't be referred to as valuable trade assets, because they do nothing for the teams Boston is actually trying to trade with. Here are the Celtics valuable trade assets: the Nets 2017 & 2018 draft pick. That's it. All the players they'd be throwing in would either be traded for late first round picks to contending teams or struggle with an expanded role, and then eventually be traded for different late first round picks. 
 
4-8 was interchangeable, they all interchangeably suck

Lonzo Ball’s father has clarified comments that indicated his son wouldn’t play for any team but the Lakers, according to ESPN.com. LaVar Ball said Saturday in a radio interview that he wants Lonzo to be drafted by L.A. and would discourage other teams from taking him. But he toned down those remarks in a later interview. “All I said was that my boy is going to play for the Lakers, and I’m going to speak it into existence,” LaVar Ball told ESPN Saturday night. “I want him to be a Laker, but I wasn’t saying he’s only going to play for the Lakers.” Lonzo Ball is a star guard at UCLA and is projected to be one of the first players drafted. The Lakers are currently third in our Reverse Standings, but their pick will be conveyed to the Sixers if they drop out of the top three.

I've trained myself to be a fairly casual NBA fan.  I get pretty pumped when the Bulls beat the Cabs and Raptors in the regular season as they always do, and do a good job ignoring everything when they lose to the Suns and the Mavs by double digits.
 
I just wish I could brush off Redskins and Canes losses as easily as I do the Bulls' shit shows.

I tried like 2 years ago.. when the Hornets were playing playoff ball .. I figured I'd be able to root for them at least.. but nope.. their roster is just too boring

Now had they added Boogie I would have been able to lol

But I realize it will never change until Dolan dies.. smh
