(a) I don't think so

and

(b) Even if they do, the Lakers now have a much stronger offer, perhaps stronger than the Celts
-how much better is #4 pick than #10 in this draft?
-our memphis pick rolls over another year. Memphis isn't going to contend anytime soon
-Ball said he wont play for new Orleans
- Ingram has a disease


What's the trade package better than Tatum+ smart + 5 first round picks   and if you want to get serious you can add brown to that package

If they do, they have a chance to position themselves in the same way the Golden State Warriors did...

meaning, they could trade Zion for the best offer (#4 pick, Ingram, Kuzma, Ball) and position themselves to have cap space to add another couple stars since everyone is on rookie deals.
Except that definitely isn't the best trade offer out there, and they already turned them down before. I don't see a reason for them to accept it now.

Agreed. The new offer includes the #4 pick, which the old one didn't, but this draft may be only 2 or 3 deep.

The lottery did, though, make it more expensive for the Celtics.

so many people are writing this but i do not see how. please explain.

to me, AD still wants to leave since the relationship with the management is poor and williamson is NOT  going to make NO a contender. he is a rookie and will have growing pains and have to learn the nba. at least a few years away.

AD doesnt want to wait, why should he for rookie?

next, NO may want to rebuild around williamson, so they want players of similar ages and picks. boston still has a very attractive package of players and picks.

Agree.

Celts still have the most attractive assets.

Davis is not staying in Orleans for a rebuild.

Celts do not have the most attractive. New York still does. Their draft picks are stronger than ours this year and future years plus Mitchell Robinson and Dennis Jr... if NY wants him and he fits the cap bill he will be in NY

I disagree.

Mitchell Robinson and Dennis Jr. are not better than Tatum, Jaylen, and Smart.

Plus, the Celts have the #14, #20, #22 picks this year and the 2020 top 6 protected(unprotected in 2021) Griz pick.

No team comes close to having assets like that.

maybe. but if tatum is part of the package he becomes the best piece in any trade going to NO. plus, the memphis pick may carry some weight. so, we shall see and i suspect we will see sooner rather than later.

After Davis burning bridges with the fans and organization, I think it's likely. And what makes you think that the number 4 pick trumps everything the Celtics have?

Absolutely!

Tatum + Smart and all the picks this June and the 2020 Griz pick can't be beat by any offer all current NBA teams can come up with.

The Memphis pick is a golden egg.

It's not like star players like Kevin Durant are going to Memphis any time soon.

That means the Griz will a lottery team for a few more years.

And if the Griz are horrible next season, that means the 2021 pick will become unprotected.

Anyone counting on that Grizzlies pick being great in two seasons didn't learn any lessons from watching De'Aaron Fox in his 2nd season.

That is very pertinent information to this thread - TP!

I came to thread to say, 'yes', but I guess the above already gives an indication of what is expected to happen.

I believe the Cs still have the best package as NOP seems to have an infatuation with Tatum and perhaps even our 'culture changer', Smart.

I just don't think Barrett, DSJ, and a future late 1st is as compelling. And, even with the #4 pick, there just seems to be too much uncertainty with the Lakers players - Ingram (blood clot), Ball (won't play there), Kuzma (reached his ceiling). Tatum is still the best asset; he and Zion would be an insane forward combo.

Anyone counting on that Grizzlies pick being great in two seasons didn't learn any lessons from watching De'Aaron Fox in his 2nd season.

Ja Morant seems like a special talent, but the Kings had young and hungry rookies with a great blend of veterans.

Fox, Giles, Bagley, (underrated rookie,) and some of the hottest shooting from Hield.

I mean who does Griz really have? No cap space, Jonas V, Bradley, Conley, and some rookies in Brooks.

Not to mention their system has been up and down to a point where even the mild mannered Conley already said peace out.

AD must really not like NO. Imagine a team with AD. Zion, J'rue and Kyrie?
