    Best case scenario is the pelicans don't want to deal with Daddy drama from Ball family and ask for Zu instead of Zo. From the buyout market we get Wes,and Melo. We trade kcp for jabari Parker. Also magically keep Rondo out of the trade. Of course we still absorb Solomon Hill.

    Zo/Rondo/Bonga
    Wes/Hart/Svi
    LeBron/Parker/Hill
    Melo/Wagner
    AD/McGee/Tyson

    Let's make this happen somehow

    They can can playing the Tatum for a future All-NBAer card, but here's the rub... There is no guarantee Ainge offers Tatum knowing AD wants no part of Boston.

    Meanwhile they can pray that the Knicks hit on Zion...but then would they trade him if they do?

    If it were me, I get up from the table and dare them to wait for the summer.

    Enjoy keeping your star player hostage, while other players and potential free agent targets take notice.

    However, you know who won't be noticing? Your fanbase... Cause you're giving them nothing to get excited about now and into the summer. Good job!

    Zo is gone. Lavar commenting makes it pretty clear to me they know what’s about to happen

    I feel like there’s a good portion of our fan base that doesn’t know how good Davis actually is.

    something to think about. No refs will be helping us out, that's for sure.

    and what happens when kyrie leaves boston?

    C Bags are still going to trade everyone for AD? so that he, horford, and hayward can make the playoffs as a 5-6 seed and lose in the 1st round? because that's worth taking the chance he'll re-sign? its hilarious how hard the media wants him in boston even though all the signs point to there being no chance of that happening

    But you would watch elements of your new core and how you could even possibly flip them for an All-Nbaer down the pike.

    If you shut AD down for a holding pattern into the summer and don't hit on a monster package, then good luck in getting the trust back from your fanbase.

    There's more risk daring Rich/AD to play nice and not use guerilla tactics to strongarm them in the summer than it is to play Ball with them now and bypassing possible offers later.

    I think the trade package was released by them to show how much more they extracted from the original "low-ball" offer.

    I also find it revealing that the Times reported on planning to stretch Hill this summer. Why broadcast that? It's almost like they're telling free agents and their representatives that we'd be able and willing to open up cap for those that want to really want in and sacrifice their true max for a year to come play with Bron & AD. Or it could the Pels telling the Lakers that you can stretch dude is y'all really need the extra cap. Either way, I still think Moore is in play for us.

    I'm with Vasashi. I dare you to wait for the summer remember my offer and see if you get more. You won't. And tomorrow Kuz comes off our offer. The next day Ball comes off.

    Lakers vs Everybody

    More collusion against the Lakers. Teams pressuring Phx to stay out, I am sure. Zo is perfect for the shooters they have, and Ayton. How many calls is Pop making?

    I really wish Bron had convinced PG over the summer. Too bad.


    Rondo, KCP, PG, Bron, and McGee -- solid defensive teams with KCP and PG balancing the space.

    Then the kids: Zo, Hart, Ingram, Kuz, Zu. Would have been a very fun second unit to watch, while growing under Bron, PG, and Rondo.

    With Bonga, Svi, Bogner getting minutes and growing with all that talent around them.


    Could have competed for a chip this year, grown and developed our young talent around superstars, AND added a player like Kyrie, Klay over the summer, or traded the kids for AD after they padded stats running more against second teams.

    Ugh. PG is playing better than I ever thought he would.
