If they stretch/trade Solomon Hill they can get another big FA acquisition too. There are alot of crazy possibilities as it wouldn't be hard to wipe the rest of the slate clean and clear space. But AD handled the situation really poorly, I don't know if there's any coming back from that. I think Griffin will certainly make his pitch though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartica4Real Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 There's so many possibilities AD stays and we have Jrue/Zion/AD (least likely outcome imo) Trade AD to the Lakers and get Jrue/Zion/Ingram/Lonzo/Kuzma/#4 (it's a lot but they don't get him if they don't give that up) Trade AD to the Knicks and get Jrue/Zion/whoever Memphis doesn't take of RJ or Ja/Robinson (and Knox but I don't have a lot of faith in him lol, worst case he's a throw in with potential) Trade AD to the Celtics and get Tatum+, a lot of pieces the Celtics can add around Tatum but he's obviously gotta be the headliner or no deal. Every outcome is good for the Pels, some are just better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Davis a lock to Boston? If Kyrie leaves, why would they trade all of their young players? In that case they would want to keep Tatum and company.

Tatum + Grizz pick I bet Boston can offer the best package, but Tatum + a pick isn't going to get it done. They're going to have to give more than that and with Kyrie leaving, you're looking at a dead end. To me, it's smarter for the Celtics to keep Tatum, the young players and the pick. Let Kyrie walk and just try and improve the team over the new few years via the draft and free agency. Granted, if Kyrie stays, then by all means...
