Would you trade Horford, Tatum and LA 18(guaranteed) for Anthony Davis?

[rondohondo]

Say the Lakers pick lands in the 2-5 range. Would you do this trade

Bos sends: Tatum, Horford, LA pick, mem pick, additional picks
NO sends: AD

Kyrie.         Rozier
Jaylen.      Smart
Hayward.  Vet min
Morris.       Yabu
AD.            Baynes

Is this Danny's master plan?

[liam]

Yes, I would do that in a heartbeat. AD is a generational talent.

[rondohondo]

Maybe need a 3rd team to send Horford to, to get New Orleans additional picks/ rookie contracts.

[action781]

Yes, you pretty much have to I think, but I don't see why NOP gives up on Ant Davis this early for that package.  Not strong enough.  Comparable or better offers will come along in the next 4 years for them.

[footey]

Would hate to give up Tatum, but would probably pull the trigger.  That would be a sweet team. That's about what it would take, too. TP for having a reasonable proposal.

Would the salaries match??

[A Future of Stevens]

I thank our players for their time, and let them know they can always be considered Celtics if they wish.

Then I pack their bags.

A core of AD, Kyrie and Hayward is set up to contend for 8-10 years. And we get to keep Brown?  Yeah. Oh and smart you Say? I'll take it 10/10 times

[CelticsElite]

Love Tatum, but Davis is a top 5 player in this league, with potential to be the best. You pull the trigger and don't look back

[rondohondo]

Even if you have to add Jaylen, I think I would still do it

Starting 5 of

Kyrie
Smart
Hayward
Morris
AD

Is a legit title contender

[Who]

Yes. Anthony Davis is an incredible talent. MVP talent.

[Csfan1984]

Yes but can Cavs better our offer with Nets 2018, Love and Crowder?

[action781]

Love Tatum, but Davis is a top 5 player in this league, with potential to be the best. You pull the trigger and don't look back

To further back up your point, I agree Davis is already a top 5 player and check out the ages of Davis along with those other 4 guys.

Lebron - 32; Durant - 28; Steph - 29; Kawhi - 26; Davis - 24

Its very easy to envision Davis being the best player in the NBA when he hits his prime around age 28-29 or so.

[GRADYCOLNON]

hell no.  teams with too many great individuals never are balanced enough.  Horford is a great role player that is vital to winning.  Tatum is the future of this franchise and so is that pick.  I think giving up those guys would undermine everything that Ainge has built these past four seasons. 

If we were talking about rebuilding a team, then the answer might be yes.  But why blow up the team when you have a contender already?

[Eja117]

He might be the single player in the entire league I'd do that for. Maybe.

[Phantom255x]

I'd hate to trade away our first marquee FA signing in franchise history within 2 years... but yeah you would make this trade.

Challenge: Can anyone think of a way to make a Davis-To-Boston deal possible WITHOUT having Horford involved? Maybe with a 3-team deal?
