    Curious, is there legit concern that Kyrie isn't staying? I figured that was all "fake news" honestly.

    Yeah, I find it highly unlikely Ainge can swing a trade without including Tatum.

    I don’t know what Kyrie will be thinking months down the line. This season hasn’t been easy for one, and intentions can always change, so who knows?

      Kings picks isn't going to be that high, Memphis is top 8 protected, top 6 protected the next year and they are rebuilding so waiting tells you nothing other than that the pick won't likely be conveyed until 2021 where there is more uncertainty then than their would be now, Clippers picks is top 14 protected the next two years, if not conveyed by then it is a 2nd round pick..

      The only shot they have at a good draft pick is the Knicks this year but Porzingis won't likely be moved in a deal this off-season because he will be a restricted free-agent and have to agree to a sign and trade, which why would he want to agree to a sign and trade that moves him to NO? So Knox and a top 1-5 pick gets you AD?

      Adding Tatum to the mix makes it a bit more interesting for Boston, but without Tatum their package really isn't very appealing. It all becomes a bit messier with Kyrie, Davis, not being locks to stay.

        Could someone agree to take on Davis and then move him to LA?

        Though I guess if you can do this then New Orleans will wait till the final hour to make the move in order to prevent this from happening this year.

        So final minute announcement. Don't wait up.

If you're looking for draft picks then waiting for the offseason is the perfect time to do it where you can see where these draft picks shake out. What are you really going to get NOW that's better than what you could potentially get say...draft night? If you don't move him to LA right now and you take one of the other offers you're speaking of, you're getting lesser talent and a draft pick that you have to pray falls in the top 3. That's a stupid bet if you're NO in my opinion.
          So what happens if you get into the offseason and the following happens which is all extremely likely

          Boston - Doesn't want to give up Tatum

          Knicks - Doesn't land the #1 pick and can only offer Knox + a non 1st overall pick

          Nuggets - Doesn't want to trade all the young players with no lock AD will sign

          Raptors - Still don't have a star player to trade and no quality draft picks and Kawhi might be gone

            When it comes to the lakers my thought is he wants to play with LeBron and that because he is like 9 years or so younger than James he knowns he could be like the man going forward after James retires. But when it comes to Boston I am not sure why he wouldn't want to go there. I dont see how he goes to Boston with out them either trading KI or JT though and on paper Celtics already have a championship level team right now but Hayward not looking like him self before the injury is really hurting the team and with the way Hayward has been he is not a trade option to try to get AD. So with out KI or JT who and what would Celtics even have to trade for AD?

              Yeah those options dont look good I do think Pascal Siakam could become a star though the more I have seen of him playing with the Raptors the more impressed I am and he may get most improved player award this year. But even than its not a for sure thing that he will end up a star.

                Um, trade him to the highest bidder at that time?

                Which will be on par with what is reportedly already on the table. There is literally no reason whatsoever to rush a deal now without allowing every possible scenario to play out before the summer comes.

                  A 25 year old superstar that is demanding their fate be tied to a 34 year old... It's just crazy to me. I know they already investigated if LeBron had shares in Klutch and found he didn't but... I need them to check again.

                    If I’m NO, I shut him down for the season, don’t trade him at all, tank the rest of the season and aim for a Top 4 pick.

                    Then, they can trade him in the offseason, use whatever haul they get (which I’m assuming will be a young core of players)and then still have their own high draft to build with their haul from the AD trade.

                    Yay or Nay?

                      3 team trade, salady dump... things can be massaged as we've seen over the years.

                      Yeah it is, but Klutch is pretty much doing whats best for LeBron

                      If Davis is traded elsewhere, he's going to link up with a 36 year old.. I think that's Dwyane Wade's age right now?

                          I don't know that I buy that he doesn't want to be in Boston at all, I think it's more realistic that LAL is his first choice but if it can't get done now I'm thinking there is uncertainty on if the Lakers will wait another year.. Meaning that if New Orleans waits, and the Lakers land a big fish this off-season, that maybe he feels as if he will never be a Laker.

                                Reading more about the Knicks's role in the AD saga, apparently Porzingis does have the power when signing his extension to veto a sign-and-trade to NOP, effectively removing him as a moveable asset for New York.

                                That leaves Boston way ahead of the pack in terms of what they can offer/move. As much as I like Knox and Mitch, those kids aren't anywhere near good enough to get AD even if you throw in a bunch of picks.
