I will trade any player and any asset for Davis, just not Kyrie or Tatum. Include Tatum in a package for Davis and the Celtics are not winning a championship.
I can’t see how Kyrie/Smart/Hayward/Horrford/Davis with Brown/Morris/Baynes/MLE is not championship caliber.
Because Hayward is not an NBA caliber player and Horford is old and declining fast.
I hope you’re trolling, but try harder. Weak attempt. C- only because you got a few of us to bite and respond.

I think Smart's gone in an AD trade, unless Rozier is actually a part of the trade through S&T, but we also have to find a way to get close to AD's salary in a trade.
Probably true, as I don’t think Rozier makes it past the deadline on this team.
I guess it really comes down to our 2019 picks and which we would give up and what their salaries are. Assuming we don’t get a top-6 pick, I’d move any or all.
Something like Tatum/Baynes/Yabu/2 of our selected picks may get us there. Figure a pick in the 10-12 range (MEM pick?) will have a starting salary of ~$3M, brining our outgoing total to slightly under $20M, while Davis’ incoming would be a shade under $27.1M. If my math is correct, I believe we would need about another $1.9M to be a legal trade, again, depending on what pick we get and that salary. Another mid-first may do it, or Semi.
Or to make things more feasible, we may see Ainge use the MLE on a guy this season and give him some sort of multi-year deal that would give us enough salary in a trade. Danny is creative, so I’m sure he could make it work. Or trade Rozier for a guy making more with an extra year, and use that salary.
Plenty of options to get it done without having to use Smart.
