What if?? Anthony Davis

I just want a legit CENTER!!!

You have to travel time with Timelord to get one.

It could happen, if Brad ever gives him the playing time.

I would like to see Baynes and Williams sharing the center duties.

Hi guys!

I'm new here.

What you guys think of trading for Vucevic on or before the trade deadline?

If Ainge can't get Anthony Davis in the summer, I think Vucevic is a nice consolation prize.

Celts can't get Vucevic in free-agency.
But if the Celts trade for him on or before the trade deadline, Celts will own his Bird rights.

I think Porzingas is the backup plan.

He has been unhappy in the past, coming off am injury...I think, he can be pried away, or can force his way out.

can you imagine the knicks doing that ?

I don't see why Washington would be looking to trade their best player.

My opinion is that New Orleans will keep Davis..only way he leaving is he opts out and he would sign with the Lakers..so my question is what Ainge backup plan? Keep same roster next season? Or go after someone else?

And u know Davis wants to sign with the Fakers because...?  Stephen **** told u so?

Beal's salary is 25.4m.

That would gut half of Boston's roster.
I don't think Beal to the Celts is a good idea.
And Hayward for Beal does not make sense for the Wiz, unless the Wiz wants the Boston draft picks.

Beal for Hayward and Boston's picks?

I think Ainge will wait for the Anthony Davis situation to be resolved.
Once AD refuses to sign a max extension with the Pels, Ainge will go all in!

The idea mentioned in this article won’t work as the salaries don’t match.  You would probably have to include Smart, and 1 trade idea I came up with is Smart, Morris, Rozier, Bird (so we can match salaries) and maybe the Clippers or King’s pick for Beal. It’s really not all that different than the package for Irving especially factoring in Thomas’s injury and contract status.

Then in the offseason trade Horford, Brown or Tatum, Grizzlies pick (add more picks if necessary) for Davis and Moore.  Maybe add a 3rd team for Horford so the Pelicans can add more young players.

Maybe it’s a dream to squeeze out enough assets for both, but imagine this.

Davis
Hayward
Tatum or Brown
Beal
Irving

Figure out the bench later but you still have some holdovers like Baynes and Semi, and newcomer Moore.

What if it's Smart, Morris, Yabusele, Bird, and picks for Beal?

I don't think the Wiz need Rozier.

They don’t really with Wall coming back next year but he is a better trade asset than Yabu (they would have his RFA rights so they could easily re-sign him), and maybe you factor in a 3rd team in the deal.

This doesn't make sense.
