Soooo close.

AD should just force his way out of NO.  I have very little confidence in their management to put enough talent around him to compete for championships.

Plus their home crowds are basically non-existent.  He doesn't get enough appreciation down there.  You can get tickets for dirt cheap and their arena is typically next to empty at home games.

Come to the C's AD.  New England fans are far, far superior.  You'll see.

You probably have to sell the Celtics franchise just to get him here  :laugh:

I would have thought the logical move was to run a play in the mid post for AD.

Winner tomorrow night is the #2 seed.

Hopefully the Celtics win; Hope CBS coaches the ASG.

AD seems too laid back and never demands the ball, imo. This generation of talents seems to lack the fire in them, aside from few guys.

Not to mention,  they lack the defensive fundamentals and discipline to be an anchor on D.

disappointing but not surprising

I resisted watching that game... I've seen some NOP games this season: awful at closing games. Their fans must be having a really hard time.

We all dream of Boogie, but the guy I really want is AD.  I'd trade all the picks for him.

Yab+Zizic+2017 Brooklyn, 2018 Brooklyn, 2019 Memphis, 2019 Clippers, 2020 Celtics.  Amir and Zeller for salaries.  Danny needs to push in all the chips.

AD would be fabulous. Do you think there is a chance NOP decides they are better off trading him?

Not for the next two years minimum.

This is what I am thinking too. That he is untradable. But maybe saltlover has something in mind (?)

All I'm saying is that Danny should push in all his chips while he still has them.  7 1st rounders, including almost certainly two top 5 picks, is an offer like no one has ever seen.  I don't think New Orleans trades him either, but if you realize what you have isn't working and will never work, it's a way to completely restart your franchise.  And it's an offer they'd never see again.

They have a lot of salary tied up for the next 3 seasons, and have a bottom 5 record despite Davis being healthy all season.  This is pretty much their roster for a couple of years.  It's better to admit failure and come up with a solution than deny a problem exists.

I agree, but I dont see NOP moving him.
