Anthony Davis traded to Lakers(page 272)

[nickagneta]

We need to send out, what, around $22 million for Davis next summer?

Assume we trade all four potential first rounders, plus Tatum.

Tatum:  $7.8 million

11th:  $2.8 million
15th:  $2.3 million
20th:  $1.8 million
25th:  $1.5 million

Total:  $8.4 million

Combined, that's $16.4 million.

Throw in Yabu.  That's another $3.1 million.

So, $19.5 million.  Throw in Williams.  That gets us to $21.4 million.

So, with some variance on the draft picks, we can probably get to where we need to be.  Otherwise, keep Jabari Parker, or sign somebody to a two-year minimum after cutting him and include their salary.

The total package would be:

BOS gets:  Anthony Davis
NOP gets:  Tatum, four #1s, Robert Williams, Yabu

We'd get to keep Smart, while maintaining Bird rights to Morris, Rozier, etc.

Did we trade for Jabari Parker and I missed it?

😉😀😁😂😂😂

Assuming we flip Rozier for a first at the deadline, it could even be Tatum + 5 firsts + Williams + Yabu for AD.

Hopefully, the Pels would at least consider it.

Also depends on what other teams offer, like LAL. Does that beat a potential offer from LAL? Idk.

What's the feared Lakers offer?

Ingram + Kuzma?

Tatum is a better prospect and has more years of team control than Ingram.  Is Kuzma more valuable than Williams and several firsts?  You've got to think that the Sacramento and Memphis picks still have more value than their current records show.

Now, if LA adds Lonzo maybe that gives them some separation.  At that point, though, I think adding Smart gives us the advantage.  I'd just ideally like to keep him out of a deal.

Yeah, too many Jabaris in the league.  I meant the one who will never play another NBA game.

[satch]

Brown and Rozier and C's #1 pick.

[Jvalin]

Brown and Rozier and C's #1 pick.

Sounds good.

How about Jabari Bird and two second rounders top 55 protected? 

[rondofan1255]

If it’s too much, the C’s could become in two or three years a slightly better version of NOP with Irving replacing Jrue.

This is spot-on. I agree with the trade 100%.

There's no way you're going to be able to protect your best asset in an Anthony Davis trade. We give them Tatum to replace AD's rangey, athletic driving game. Robert Williams is a local  prospect who I personally I think was drafted with the Anthony Davis trade in mind. Timelord replaces AD's above the rim 'wow' factor.

They have 4 1st round draft picks as well, stamp it. No better offer period.

Excellent point as well being able to resign Morris and Rozier. This is the post of the year as far as I'm concerned.

Please help me construct the roster.

If Kyrie re-sign to a max contract we would have to pay around 120 million for the big 4.

Smart would be payed 12 million
If Morris is re-signed we would pay him at least 5-6 million
Baynes is under contract at 5 million

Then we have a few small contracts.

Shall we re-sign JB

The luxury tax will be around 132 million

How can we build a team of role players around the big 4 with the remaining capspace?

Besides that I believe in building a great team for the future, so giving up the future star and that many 1st round pick would not be how I would build a team of the future. Then I would rather build a team without AD.

Maybe LAL adds Hart to that package? Although in that case they legit gut their team and bench.

One advantage we have is, we do have a lot more picks to offer (maybe even 1-2 high ones), while LAL doesn't.

[Ogaju]

The most I would give up is Kyrie and Brown and one pick, but I would hesistate to do that even

WOW  you are so stingy.

[LilRip]

Brown and Horford.

Although is there a way Horford takes a Duncan like deal in the near future? I like Roy’s idea of Tatum + 4 picks + filler. Except instead of Tatum, I’d trade Brown+ Rozier.

Me too. We can afford to lose Rozier, Brown, Horford and a couple of picks. But if New Orleans insists on Tatum, then we shouldn't just automatically include all those picks and Williams. We have to be careful to not bid against ourselves.

Which team can offer a player like Tatum + a bunch of picks and still leave a squad behind that's good enough to convince Davis to resign with them?

Horford could threaten to simply opt out of his contract if Danny tries to trade him. Horford won't be traded because of this.

[Hawkeye199]

I would trade Hayward & brown plus 3 first rounders

A trade for AD that doesn't involve Kyrie can't happen before free agency.  Horford will have to decide on picking up his player option before free agency.
