Three, maybe four times. They signed LeBron once, there was the ill-fated MozDeng offseason, and then there was the offseason in which the Lakers punted their cap space to last offseason. So we are entering the fourth offseason, and the Lakers landed Anthony Davis. Yeah...the Lakers aren't this FA destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie is trying to make it sound like they'd have to give up Tatum+ to get Paul George. If you throw Jaylen Brown and a pick to Indiana, they probably take that deal.

I think Boston will play better without Kyrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have had to make a godfather offer like the Lakers just made to get George, and that would probably have damaged the Celtics. The Kawhi situation was weird because the Spurs were insisting on a veteran All Star in return. Hayward was coming off a major injury, at the time moving Kyrie didn't make a lot of sense, and I'm not sure Horford would have qualified as what the Spurs were looking for. I'm not sure what package Boston could have put together to get the Spurs to say yes to that trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a deal in place to send George to Cleveland until Pritchard pulled out at the 11th hour. Was it ever confirmed it was because they didn't want to send him somewhere in the East?

RavensTillIDie Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Quite the haul for AD. Really excited about all the future 1sts and pick swaps. In an ideal world, we try to move the #4 pick in a 3 team trade with Memphis and Utah for the #2 pick... NO Receives: #2 overall pick (select RJ Barrett) Memphis Receives: #4 overall pick from New Orleans #23 overall pick from Utah Unprotected 2020 Utah 1st Round Pick Top 10 protected 2020 New Orleans 1st Round Pick Utah Receives: Mike Conley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like: New Orleans Receives: #3 Memphis Receives: #4 DAL '21 FRP New York Receives: #2 New Orleans would need to add some sweetner in here to move up from 3 to 4. Either throw in 39 or one of the Lakers future FRPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
