LOL, so I think the elephant in the room is that this kid probably ain’t really built for NY. I don’t think any of his opinions are wrong per se but he’s way too sensitive about the media...

He’s gonna have meltdown when he goes to the corner store in Manhattan and sees a negative backpage picture of himself in Daily News, smh... could handle the media treatment/pressure Ewing got here? Charles Smith?

NY will eat this kid alive

He's been dealing with shyt from the media ever since he signed with GSW and not just one media outlet but all of them were coming at him for the last 3 years so i think he'll be just fine dealing with the NY media. The overreacting for many things on here by some people is laughable.

It doesn’t sound like 4 firsts. Even if it is, we have better picks AND are offerings better Prospects. The fact that they’re not even offering Murray says A LOT. We don’t need to bid against ourselves. It’s why the Lakers pulled out.

A raw C, a raw PG/SG/SF - whatever the f*ck Frank is, and Knox, who looks like he needs a few years. I don't think that's better prospects than the Lakers or Boston, TBH.

Unless you have a bonafide star in the making, no 1 gives a **** about prospects.

DSJ, Frank, Ball, all those clowns wouldn't fetch a FRP.

With that said, Mitch & Knox are FRP value, #1 beats everyone including Tatum.

But Tatum is literally the second best asset being thrown on the table of Zion.
...and Zion isn’t a given.

Knox isn’t worth a 1st either

AD isn’t getting traded today

I hope the Pelicans have fun with that grievance AD is gonna file when they try to bench him

ugh. yeah. healthy scratch would not be looked upon favorably.

but how could that same PA be happy with the situation AD then forces his fellow players to deal with?

this is a better "away from the team" situation. if AD doesn't agree to it, that's unfortunate. because he could have just kept quiet until the offseason.

Our package can EASILY best the Lakers and is on par with Boston. Fuq outta here. Tatum had a good Rookie year, but has been inconsistent and chucking year. 2. Hence why Boston has been underperforming.

Sometimes y’all are so grass is greener, it fuqn amazes me!

I don’t know WHY some of you are Knicks fans.

—Mags

I'm here for the angst, I told you.

[Greenie]

This smoke about Tatum is just that -- I doubt they offer him for a rental, and if they would, what does that say about how good Tatum really is?

Would the Wolves have traded KAT for a possible rental?

Seems like a block on the Knicks would be the main reason. And like Ainge has his heart set on getting AD lol. How lame is that.

Not to mention which -- how good is Boston with a bunch of scraps, Brown I guess, a lot of dead salary like Hayward, and AD. Kyrie and AD if Kyrie stays.

It says Tatum is their only asset

[duetta]

I find it amazing of all the drama and changes that Lance Thomas is still on the team.

He inherited Herb Williams' compromising photos of whomever...

Sure they would. They'd fetch a 1st rounder. I don't know how high, but they would, c'mon. I mean, DSJr fetched KP, and he's an ex 1st rounder himself!

I mean, I thought I was being negative today. Check this guy out!

Dolan + barnyard animals + photographic evidence = lifetime employment.

which is why there could be some pressure to get the deal done today

You can say KK doesn't get a FRP w a straight face? Come on gal...

[K_ick_God]

If they give up Tatum then that's the best offer yes.

Ainge may gamble but doesn't mean he will, and doesn't mean it'll work. If Kyrie won't sign, then he won't sign.

Blinking contest.

[robillionaire]

can't wait until these 3 hours are over with so we can move past the pipe dreams and get back to player development for a couple months until KD mania starts up this summer

They have picks but theirs are not as good as the Knicks. To me Tatum is being used as a distraction now -- to get the Pelicans to wait.

You just said Ball wouldn't. And the DSJr. And Frank (ok, maybe you got that one)

Lets get this to 100 pages today

I need these 3 hours of trolling to get to 20,000 +1's today.

So far, so good.

[K_ick_God]

The Lakers' offer is not bad but not great and they play in the same conference, and any deal to LA will be scrutinized more. Lakers have some headwinds.

[SARGO127]

The most I would offer right now is...
Knox
Trier
Dotson
Frank
Kanter
19 1st - Top 1 protected
Mavs 21
Mavs 23

That’s it. If pelicans don’t want it, oh well.

Blinking contest.

Prediction: Ainge is dangling Tatum now, but come summer, Tatum won't be on the table, the Celtics will lose out on AD
