Reports are that Kyrie has to opt out by June 13th. Once he opts out, Davis can be traded for immediately. But if the salaries for the picks were going to be used in the trade for Davis, the trade won't be finished until 30 days after the picks sign in the summer, so when in June Kyrie would opt out wouldn't really matter, just so long as he does opt out, which he already said he would.
so it basically would have to work out as follows:
- Kyrie opts out to end the Rose rule provision preventing the AD trade. Kyrie has an agreement with Danny to resign with the C's either because he wants to return or if it's contingent on an AD trade.
- Danny works out an AD trade with NO that may be announced but doesn't happen until the drafted players can be traded to have their salaries included in the deal. The players on the team that are included in the deal would be given the heads-up they're going to NO.
hopefully Danny has an agreement with AD before the deal that he'll either resign with Boston or is at least very open to it.
- Deal goes through for AD first day it can be completed.
- Al opts out and resigns for more years but less $ per year.
- Kyrie resigns with the C's first day he can ink the new deal.
- C's spend the summer chasing down FA's that can fill out the roster and contribute for next season. C's potential line-up starting next season is Kyrie/Brown/Hayward/AD/Horford. Probable bench before chasing FAs is Baynes, Semi, Wanamaker and probably a resigned Morris. (I just can't see Rozier coming back under any circumstances)
