I walk away from this one. I'm not giving up draft picks and young players without assurances.

The NBA has a player movement problem, and I don't really see a likely way for the league to fix it.

The league could fix it by letting teams "franchise" a  player.  Not sure the Players Association would agree to it.  And the NBA likes its Superteams anyway.
The NBA has a elite player movement problem.  Most of the NBA players cannot play these games.

It's times like these I'm glad that none of Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma or Hart have shown themselves to be exciting, surefire prospects. Ingram's advanced metrics are so terrible, I'm curious if he's going to be another Wiggins case. Brown is at least as enticing as any of those four. Tatum is far more so.

I understand Davis probably wants to go there, but guys always want to go there until they don't. My worry isn't where Davis' mind is should we trade for him, my worry is the stupidity of the Pelicans accepting a trash offer i.e. the Lakers collection of future role players, before the trade deadline.

this right here, only sensible solution in all of this.

Consult Kyrie, talk of other potential targets and pounce elsewhere.

LA would have 2 players tying up over $80M, and not a lot else.

I don't understand what trade LA can currently offer that works and would give NO the value they're looking for... The salaries just don't match up.

I love how Boston can never add max players but lebron can team up with whomever he wants whenever.  The league is a joke.

This is my concern.  No doubt the best decision is to wait for the summer (regardless of whether the Celtics' offer is the best) and I'm so nervous they're going to panic.  I don't know if it's the ownership, the management or a combination of both but part of me wonders if it would be best to fire the GM and let a new group work on the future of the team.  Get them in, establish goals and then worry about trading Davis over the summer.

If he ain't signing an extension then let him go to LA. Let all these diva bums go to LA to team up with LeBron.

The Celtics shall build from the draft and continue working on Tatum's growth.

And then what? Never win anything?

If he forces a trade to LA, with Leonard soon to follow, I don’t think I can watch the NBA anymore

At this point I’m honestly just happy to run with the young guys.  Start marcus at point if kyrie is gonna walk.  Trade him for some picks.

We have three max players. One acquired by trade, two more in free agency. The free agents were playing on smaller market teams whose fans were furious that a big-city team like Boston was able to get them.

If Gordon hadn't been injured last year and we made it to the Finals and were enjoying a very long future ahead of us - including a fist full of draft picks, would you still feel this way? That was just very, very bad luck.
