Does anyone know the earliest possible date to trade for AD? I know there are implications with Kyries contract. When does he officially become a free agent.
Also, should the Celtics wait until Kyrie signs or at least verbally commits to pull the trigger on an AD deal?
Something like Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Robert Williams iii, 14th overall pick, 20th overall pick, 22nd overall pick, Grizzlies pick (2020/2021)
Then maybe get someone to take on Hayward’s contract. Maybe a desperate team like Cleveland. That way the team can afford to pay Jaylen and AD next summer, and Marcus Morris this summer. This part isn’t super important to us fans (because it isn’t our money) but may be something the front office considers. Assuming we keep Hayward.....
Anthony Davis
Al Horford (4yr 70 million)
Gordon Hayward
Jaylen Brown
Kyrie Irving
Is a stellar starting 5
Plus bring back Marcus Morris, Daniel Theis, and Aaron Baynes
Hopefully sign a shooter with the tax payer MLE like Wayne Ellington
That leaves a major hole at backup PG but I trust Danny will find a creative way to acquire a competent one
Aron Baynes/ Daniel Theis
Marcus Morris/Semi Ojeleye
Wayne Ellington
Brad Wanamaker
Off the bench
