Anthony Davis Requests Trade from NO

[thelarrybirdx]

Everyone in this topic should realize that if the Celtics trade for AD and beat everyone else's offer that the most likely trade scenario would have the Celtics trading Tatum, Brown and Smart for AD. It's the most likely and the one where the money actually works.

The only other way would be to involve Horford or Hayward both which is very unlikely in my opinion.

Be careful what you wish for.

Naw, we’ll want to include Hayward to free up cap space to sign others. Lowe said on his podcast that he believed NO would want Hayward, too, as its a great buy low opportunity on a star with only 2 years left on his deal.

It’d be Hayward+Tatum+4 or so firsts. We then resign Morris.

Good god this would be an absolute HEIST

Only if you believe Bleacher Report.

I don’t but after the call to lebron and then the Instagram post I’m starting to get a little worried.

The instagram post means little. Worry about the call if you want to as that is somewhat understandable but I won't.

Same people saying Kyrie is leaving will be criticizing us for overpaying him.

*Yawn*

We frankly have no idea what's going on out there in reality. AD could be traded to the Bucks tomorrow for all we know. Saying "this is BS" or "this is legit" comes down to what people want to believe right now. I can tell you Lakers are as sure that AD will be a Laker by the deadline as we are he won't.

Yes we do. On this forum we have enough talented individuals to put all the pieces together. And we have.

Umm no we won't. All we have are the same twitter posts everyone else is seeing. Be honest with yourselves..

She is saying (I think) that we have a good general idea of the various paths this can go down. Tons of this is white noise and easy to drown out. Do you really think the Pelicans and Bucks will make a trade? They won't. And I say this as the guy who kept saying that Kawhi was a wild card and a stupid FO could pick him up.

Well reload is a real insider and has said 8 million times he has heard nothing about Kyrie wanting to leave Boston.
And it's no secret everyone knows we have prepared for the AD thing for a long time.

As for AD, I am sure some twist could pop up by the deadline......but we are the favorites.

Sure "everyone knows". But that's the thing about conventional wisdom, it's usually wrong lol.

New wrinkles just keep on coming. We have to all be careful about all the clickbait that will be swirling about. 99% of everything you see is nonsense.

Read on Twitter

Problem with the wrinkles are they become truth if not powerfully refuted. Case in point Kyrie. Yes, he has stated he [i]intends[i] to re-sign with the Cs. Now all of this is starting to come out and nothing but silence on his end. All he needs to do is come out and say all of this is getting ridiculous and people are saying my word is garabage. That last part would piss me off even.

Instead, radio silence.

We might be better off with a silent Kyrie though. He is doubtful again tomorrow night lol.
But what does Kyrie really have to say? I mean people act like "calling Lebron" now equals "back in serious relationship."

[truth18]

Like I said, this is out of control.

100%. I'm out of this thread for a bit.

[Valid]

Funny how all of these BS rumors just "happen" to come out IMMEDIATELY after AD asks for a trade.

LeBron and his camp continue to prove to be complete scumbags.

[ViperGTS]

Oh and if the Pelicans want to play the Cs off the Lakers screw them. Let the Lakers trade everything for AD. No way I am giving up Brown, Tatum, Smart picks etc. Let LA overpay. Dude isn’t Russell, or Wilt or Jordan. Or hell...Bird. He is outstanding. But to trade your whole team...yeah...

I call bulls***, the context of what Kyrie said to Lebron on the phone makes this rumour nonsense.

[Scarletfire81]

I'm curious, how much money does Kyrie lose if he leaves? Cant we offer him more than anyone else?

[PierceFan4ever]

Jackie Mac on around the horn shut down any rumors she’s heard about Kyrie leaving the celtics. She brought up the same point a lot of us here are making about the Chris Haynes-rich Paul-lebron-Davis thing.

It’s **** bs how this Kyrie story comes out with the Davis thing. Why wasn’t this reported before? **** Lebron that douche. He’s definitely behind all this. Purposely posting Instagram videos tagging Kyrie to create drama. Then rich Paul and Lebron telling Chris Haynes to report that Kyrie is uncertain to re-sign to scare the pelicans that the Celtics might never offer that massive package so they’re telling the pelicans to trade Davis now to the lakers.

[reload141]

Far. Out.

Unless Woj drops a bomb that Irving is leaving 100% can we stop jumping at every Tom, Dick and Harry posting from the media JUST to get clicks and make fans panic for no reason?

Ainge needs to do a 3-way conference call with Pelicans & Kyrie.

Someone isn’t saying the truth. Couple that with Kyrie being “out” with an injury so he doesn’t have to talk to the media. Too much smoke for my liking.

Another Rich Paul special.

[ConstableGeneva]

I wanna know the details of the tampering.

Also, players/teams will keep on tampering if all they get is a slap on the wrist. Rich Paul will just laugh off that fine.
