    My uncle’s ex boyfriend used to date Danny Ainge, and he just leaked that a trade is close: Tatum and Hayward for AD, Zion, and multiple future 1sts. Pretty fair deal.

    Actually it’s a steal for the Pels. Didn’t you know that Tatum invented the jumpshot?!

    LOL that could happen with Griffin's narrative that number 4 is not all that.

    Folks that thought a deal would be announced today, the same day as Game 6, and draw attention away from it.... over Adam Silver's dead body.

    So, I’m not celebrating this at all, it is what it is, KD ruptured his achilles, Klay just tore his ACL. If there was ever a time to go all-in it is right now, the title is there for the taking in the West. I hope this deal gets done.

    Just found out Klay tore his ACL... I’m super down about that. He’s my favorite non-Laker player... so much fun to watch.

    Get a deal done. Now. Don’t worry about finessing the salary cap and trying to do some verbal agreement to do the trade in a month.

    Get AD officially on the same team as Lebron James as soon as possible, and then watch as the free agents come this way to play alongside them even without a max.

    Hate to capitalize on injuries, but the league is now WIDE open, and Bron/AD would easily be the most dominant duo in the league.

    Yup, now’s the time. I feel Bron, AD and anyone else have a very good chance in the west. Get it done now.

    GET THIS s*** DONE ROB JESUS CHRIST

    WEST IS WIDE f***ING OPEN

    3 of the 4, Hart/Wagner, 2021 1st, even add a pick swap

    If we miss out on AD and no big name FA, then its Beal time possibly?

    Yeah we better hurry up .

    League is definetely wide open for next season and it's a copycat league ...

    Teams are going to go all in to get a Kawhi like shot with A.D next season

    Unfortunately can't trust our FO , I'm not getting my hopes up

    Apparently this is from an article from Wednesday, it’s ESPN+ so I can’t read it to see his reasoning, but still, wow..I mean wow. I’d be shocked if Pelton wasn’t born in Boston or doesn’t have like a beloved grandparent there or something.

    Ingram 9th? WTF

    I would very gladly trade every asset in front of him and keep Ingram.

    Also Kuzma >>>>>>> Smart....please...WTF

    Smart makes like 15 mio a year shooting 35% from the floor for his career...Kuzma is younger, has more potential, makes 1.8 mio. and is a much much better character in the locker room.

    Baffling to me how slept on Ingram is, even if Ingram was paid 15 per I would take him over Smart.

    So now BI is a worse prospect than Hart?:Laugh:.

    To be honest, I love it. I am pretty sure we're going to get fleeced and give NO any player they want sans Bron. If Ingram is valued that low league-wide, that may actually help us retain him.

    That list is hilarious. How could Ingram be one slot above the #14 pick.
    Without bias, I would rank them like this.

    1. Tatum
    2. Ingram
    3. Ball
    4. #4
    5. Brown
    6. Kuzma
    7. C Bags future Memphis first-round pick
    8. Hart
    9. Smart
    10. C Bags #14 pick
    11. R. Williams

    If the C Bags offered Tatum, Brown, #14 and the future pick from Memphis, I think it would be a closer match with our package, but I'd still take our kids.

    We need to get this done. ASAP. I understand not wanting to give up every player besides LeBron, but good lord this is Anthony Davis. You don't get a chance to make a deal like this often. If all the young guns is what it takes, that's what it takes...bottom line, we need to get this done.
