 Just Feel like Horford would need to stay. The staring five is better and more balanced with Al. We could literally give them Hayward and 4 or 5 firsts if we really wanted. Who could even beat that offer.

Horford
Davis
Tatum
Brown
Irving

I'd rather move Horford, as I think it suits the timeline better to keep Hayward and I plain think he will be a better player for longer than Horford will be, but I don't necessarily think either are necessary to move for Davis

Since contracts matter, I believe Horford will be paid less after his current contract (possibly even this year). He also seems like the type to age well and fits Brad's system to a T.

I loved the Hayward signing at the time, but have some concerns about him returning to his previous form. We also have two amazing young wings who could be in Boston for a very long time and I have come to think of Hayward as more of a luxury (very expensive luxury).

So my answer to who I would trade for Davis is Hayward.

You meant "Cold Hearted Poll", Not to be Granny Grammar, but sheesh, can we not spell words in this country anymore ?

Frankly, I don't want to trade anyone for the guy (ok, maybe Irving). We have the team we need. Concentrate on stability and some loyalty and on making our players feel appreciated by management, especially Brown & Tatum & Horford & Hayward & Rozier & Smart - all home-grown or they came here because they wanted to wear the Green.

If Anthony Davis wants to be a Celtic, let him come to us the same way Durant went to Golden State. We'll need him in 3 years to start replacing an aging Horford. The Lakers or Sixers would have to give up a chunk of their cores to trade for him, preventing them from becoming too strong for us to defeat.

You simply do not treat players that way. Hayward made a huge decision to come to Boston and you don't unload him because he got hurt. Not really the point, but he'll come around. He will be good this season and probably back to 100% by next season.

Plus, if Danny does a free agent that way, others will be very hesitatant to sign with Boston.
Danny's rep for treating players like cattle is bad enough as it is.

If you're going to complain about grammar, the least you could do is be grammatically correct in your own post.  The sentence I've highlighted is anything but grammatically correct.  ;)

Gosh, thank you for pointing that out. Difference is, I was intentionally incorrect just to get my thoughts across. The IP was not.

Being a grammar policeman is against site rules and only promulgates bad feelings and retaliation. Please stop it.

Neither.

It would be either Brown or Tatum plus salary (not Irving, Hayward, or Horford) and picks.

Problem is, it would be very difficult to do without using Smart, or resigning Morris to trade him, or using Rozier’s (BYC?) salary if we wait until the deadline. I guess Baynes could be included too.

I guess it really depends of how we do this season, and whether Danny thinks he should pay the high ask.
