I would try to avoid putting Smart in the deal if I could.

So far, Boston has been undeterred in pursuing Davis -- despite his agent insisting AD would be a 2020 flight risk in free agency. For Boston, Davis could still be its best case to keep Kyrie Irving. Story soon on http://ESPN.com

Celtics and Lakers are engaged in trade talks with New Orleans on All-NBA star Anthony Davis, league sources tell me, @ZachLowe_NBA, @ramonashelburne and @WindhorstESPN. Lakers No. 4 pick has been discussed as trade chip to help Pels acquire high-level player in multi-team deals.

BOOM!

I trust Danny. If he goes for AD, he has to think that there’s a significant chance that we can retain him next year, with or without Kyrie. Block out the noise from Klutch and do what you think is best for Boston.

And the more I hear about NOLA wanting a vet or high-level player in the deal, the more I think that the Capela rumor is tied up with the AD trade. The other night I worked out a few scenarios where we could help facilitate Capela and Tatum to NOLA, though it would cost us Al in the process. But if you could get something like AD and Eric Gordon back, that’s probably be worth it and could just convince Kyrie to resign by giving him a more veteran team to contend with.

Has Al opted out yet?

The wording is funny, are they competing or is Boston facilitating?

Competing.

Why?? This is such a catastrophic, potentially franchise-altering risk to take

It is the decision that will define this franchise for the next decade...good or bad.

Danny isn't interested in spending the rest of his career flipping and re-flipping assets while the Celts are a cut below the top teams.  He's spent years building to this point, he's not going to back off just because of one loud-mouth agent.

 Davis and kyrie will be like batman and Robin. Can't wait to see what they bring out of each other

Yeah the way I read it, LA right now is working to bring in a third team to try to make their offer more appealing / competitive as compared to Boston's offer.


The Celtics have the best offer on the table unless LA can flip some of their pieces to a third team in exchange for a piece or two that the Pelicans like better.  Not sure which team or what players that would involve.

Will be interested to see what they’re floating to NOLA and if there’s been any other discussion about a multi-team Celtics deal.

Drive up the price on the lakers.

Looks like I was not the only one who thought this

@wojespn

To be clear, of course: The Celtics and Lakers are trying to negotiate independent deals with New Orleans for Anthony Davis. There's no spirit of cooperation here. The Lakers No. 4 pick would be used to acquire Davis in a multi-team deal that does NOT include Boston.

LISTEN TO YOUR FATHER, PHANTOM! 

[perks-a-beast]

Tatum, Smart, Yabu, 14th Pick, MEM Pick is far better than anything the Lakers can offer. I think Danny gets this done by next week.

[Boris Badenov]

Any ideas on who the “high level player” or players are that would be available for the 4th pick?

Seems like it has to be a star on a rebuilding team.
