Anthony Davis traded to Lakers(page 272)

[droopdog7]

50% chance he stays
20% he goes Lakers
15% he goes Knicks
15% he goes Celtics

These odds make no sense, Phantom lol

Knicks are virtually out of the running now, as their only chance was to trade Zion. The Lakers' odds improved a bit, but they're still at tops like 5%, especially being 4th in a 3 player draft and having Ingram's injury issues happen after the trade deadline.

The more I think about it, the more I think the lottery just made it even more likely that AD is traded to Boston, as that would pretty much complete NOLA's rebuild in the matter of like two months through the draft and a trade. What would you rather do - risk keeping AD and having him walk this summer when things don't work out or have 7-9 years of control over Zion and Tatum moving forward, all while getting a few other lesser prospects and restocking their draft cupboard?

zion and tatum fit very well together

Why does everyone assume that they want Tatum?

They better want Tatum because otherwise we don’t have nearly enough.  Brown isn’t that guy and neither are the picks.

Im going to say it again, y’all need to stop under estimating the Knicks.

Dennis Smith, RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson, Knicks 2020 Draft pick, Mavs 2021 draft picks, Knicks 2022 draft picks

Is an extremely attractive package. Y’all have to remove the green goggles. Only way we win is if they value you Tatum extremely high and they want to keep Jrue. They have an option to mix Zion with some vets or they can go completely new. I do think the Lakers are out, but the Knicks are an extreme threat for Davis and Kyrie which will cripple the Celtics.

The Knicks adding AD automatically devalues their future picks. DSJ seems to have lost some shine and Robinson really isn't a blue chip prospect (unless you meant Kevin Knox, but even then). So it's basically Barrett + hoping that Mavs pick still holds value in 2 years (doubtful with Luka and Porzingis there) + 2 non lottery NYK picks

Hardly. If Boston wanted, they could offer Tatum, Brown, Smart, Williams, Memphis 2020/21 pick, Sac 2019 pick, LAC 2019 pick, and Boston 2020 pick. That's probably the Godfather offer equivalent to what you posted for NYK, and it probably doubles in overall and top-end value.

Again, people have to stop mistaking quantity for quality. Just like that Lakers offer at the deadline, there's a lot of quantity but little quality in that package compared to Boston's package, which is what you are looking for in a trade for a star like this. Tatum is the ace-in-the-hole, because nobody is offering anyone that comes close to Tatum with regard to potential and ceiling.

Cripple the Celtics? We are going to be better without Kyrie.

They don't have a PG without Kyrie

Kyrie is going to the knicks. Idc what anyone say.. he’s going to the Knicks.

Kyrie and Durant will be going to the Knicks. If they want Davis they completely have the assets to get him. The Knocks will then be an attractive place for older vets looking for a ring to fill out the rest of the team. They will still have Mudiay, Alonzo Trier, their own future 1st and 2nd rounders for the future. The knocks would be set to take over the east for years.

Tells us to take the green goggles off, then claims that the Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.tiest organization in the NBA is going to get Kyrie, Durant, and trade for Davis with a less attractive package than Boston because of New York exceptionalism lol Good grief, you're the one who needs to take the blue and orange-tinted glasses off!

You don’t know how they value Barrett over Tatum as Barrett has played with Zion before. I’m just bringing awareness to have dangerous the Knocks are. Don’t undervalue Dennis as he is a highlight waiting to happen along side Zion to!

Guess we will see huh

[bdm860]

No way Anthony Davis stays, he already burned that bridge with the very public mid-season trade demand and wearing the "that's all folks" shirt.

[SHAQATTACK]

Maybe Danny should consider trading a package for Zion ?

[CelticsElite]

Maybe Danny should consider trading a package for Zion ?

why would danny want a slightly better julius randle

Julius is actually a frec agent

You're nuts if you think that's what Zion is.

[Bobshot]

Sac's pick is no.14. That's a pretty good pick the Celtics have as  trade bait.

NO wins the lottery. They get a guy who isn't as good as Tatum right now. But Tatum is better than anticipated when he was drafted. And NOs GM knows how good Tatum is. He saw him play against the Cavs last year. He also knows the Celtics had  big time chemistry problems this year with Hayward inserted into the mix, and Tatum is better than he showed. And Ainge is salivating as much as Jeannie Buss (sounds sexy) to get Davis.

So what's going to happen? Ainge will deal half the team plus a few of Auerbach's trophies for Davis. And Davis in a Celtics uniform will determine whether Kyrie is in a Celtics  uniform next year. Added bonus: Paul Pierce will be an asst coach, or some kind of presence  in the Celtics management.

[Fierce1]

Let Kyrie go, keep the picks, and sign two max players in 2021.

Two max players that can bring us a championship like Durant, Lebron, Leonard, etc...

Not an undersized guard or an undersized center like Kyrie and Horford.

Durant will be 33 by 2021.

Lebron will be 36 going 37 in 2021.

And Leonard will be in the middle of a new contract by 2021.

If there's an opportunity to land a generational talent like Anthony Davis, you do it!

I was using those players as examples of where we went wrong.
If you trade your future for a one year rental of Davis that is a mistake.
I would rather we just get rid of Kyrie and go with our picks and our young players and sign someone better in 2021.

It's not going to be a rental if AD is playing for a championship in Boston every year.

[bdm860]

Nope, and I can’t understand the logic.

Zion is way too overhyped here. He’s basically Randle right now... AD isn’t waiting around for him to develop.

Knicks and Lakers have picks 3/4 in a 2man draft. If we want AD he’s ours. Ainge is probably pumping his fists as we speak.

Except I predict Zion will average 20-10 next year and a decent shot at the all star game.

as a rookie, james averaged 21 points and 5.5 rbs. durant averaged 20 and 4.4. so williamson is better than lebron or durant out of the gate?

shaquille was 23 and 14. williamson is that good in your opinion. we shall see.

I mean Elton Brand averaged 20/10 as a rookie.  Tyreke Evans averaged 20/5/6.  KAT averaged 18/11.  OJ Mayo averaged 19.  Luka Doncic just averaged 21/8/6 and Trae Young put up 19/8. 

If we're going all the way back to Shaq, then the guy I see Zion compared to the most is Larry Johnson who averaged 19/11/4/1 as a rookie.

You don't haven't to be one of the greatest of all time to come out the gate strong as a rookie.

[nickagneta]

If Davis is traded the Pels should have an interesting front court of Zion and Randle.

How many of those guys were the second fiddle? Let alone second to an MVP caliber big man?
