Anthony Davis traded to Lakers(page 272)

[Eddie20]

Davis declining a trade to Boston based on our treatment of IT would be a tough pill to swallow.  And unfortunately, there's no consolation prize here - IT was replaced with a flashier IT that scores less, has minimally influenced winning (for us and the Cavs), talks a lot of nonsense, and has stagnated the development of our most important Celtics. 

As much as I enjoy being right, this is a bleak situation. 
 
I feel like I hit a 500' home run with a Wiffle Ball bat; yet, we lost an opportunity to contend for multiple titles with the best player of his respective generation. 

I urge everyone to stick together through this week, and even the summer, in an effort to accept our fate.  I am available by PM from 9:15pm - 9:57pm ET on weekdays and state holidays.

It's incredibly tedious and boring at this stage.

Okay. Let's move on from tars post. Thank you.

I wonder if there comes a point in time where Davis begins to think about organizational stability.  It might not be high on the priority list right now but he doesn't appear to be someone who enjoys partaking in the media circus.  AD strikes me as a player who just wants to play basketball without distractions.  This is a  huge reason why I think he would stay in Boston if we acquired him.

The most stable organizations in recent memory have been the Spurs and Warriors.  Both of these teams had an organic roster building process (not saying there wasn't luck involved).  The Celtics have undergone a similar process in the sense that our GM has gradually built the team over a period of 5+ years (please don't take this too literally, as I realize that the roster turnover has been significant).  We also have a coach who consistently gets the most out of his players.  The path to a title might be easier in LA (if they land two more FA's) but I don't see a better option than Boston when it comes to contending for 5+ years.

My guess is that’s wishful thinking.

If Davis isnt in a Laker uniform Friday, i be shock!!

If he is I will be shocked. The idea that New Orleans countered by just asking for one more pick from LA is laughable.

Also note that it’s two LA reporters making this claim.

Since we have been hearing a lot of rumours that would be bad for the Celtics, here one that's completely the opposite and shows how it could be possible to team up Irving, Durant and Davis in Boston:

A playoff rotation next year consisting of Irving/Smart/Brown/Hayward/Durant/Morris/Davis/Baynes would be incredible.

He's good on salary cap issues, but I don't think he has much in the way of sources.
