Not only that, TT is Lebrons Buddy. No way they deal him away. Cleveland is gonna get smacked with a 70 million dollar tax bill this year. I don't think they will be taking on any salary

Hm..wonder what other bigs are available. Get an upgrade without getting someone that takes away from the kids.

Look at it this way. Tatum vs Amir. What did Amir do that Tatum can't?

Take 4 seconds to shoot a 3.

Yeah, Indiana isn't taking that offer.

Were going to end up getting him but not until after free agency. Book it. We won't have to give up Brown Taytum or Brooklyn 18. Maybe the LAL/sac pick at worst.

Stop Andy stop, my Penis can't get any harder.

We get PG for the lakers pick that we got for moving down to get the guy we would have taken 1, and he signs for 3 more years, and we get Hayward first, and we keep Tatum.....

Can someone knowledgeable of the cap/CBA confirm if this is even possible? Please and thank you.

I am sure those dudes will just talk directly if PG13 is excited and willing to stay here.

I don't know if we need to give up the Lakers' pick. That's a high price for a rental. If Danny keeps Brown, Tatum, and Lakers-King, and Nets

. I like the possibility of trading up in the draft next year if we have Lakers and Nets picks.

Does Jaylen go in this scenario or Tatum? Or do we have a cheaper package than I am expecting?

I feel like Blake would be the better fit if we're going for PG. Not sure where Tatum fits in there either.

Disagree, if PG is coming with a 3 year extension, he's much more valuable and I can't see it getting done without them getting Tatum or Jaylen back in return along with that LAL/SAC pick.

It's very possible the Celtics can get both George/Hayward. It depends on the order they do it in and 3 of (Brown, Bradley, Smart, Tatum and Crowder) have to go.

I'll eat my hat if we give up Taytum or Jaylen Brown for George.

Write this down.

the offer will be

Avery Bradley Jae Crowder Demitruis Jackson Lal/Sac pick Memphis pick clipper pick. That gets it done and allows us to continue on this compete now and later patb

Whatever Zarren gets paid it isn't enough

I need this one prediction to happen. Zarren and co. will figure out how to pay the tax later lol.

"I started a joke..."

Paul George and Jayson Tatum are following each other on Instagram. No way Tatum's the one getting traded.

I like Kaufman as a media personality compared to 95% of them around here, but don't trust him as a reporter. I also don't see George committing to a contract extension right away. I think if we get him, which I still think is a very realistic scenario, it's as a cheaper rental w/the hope of changing his mind. At best maybe he expresses some openess/happiness to Ainge about coming here rather than continuing threats of LA and maybe it gives Ainge a bit more confidence to pull the trigger but doesn't it cost him a significant amount of money to do an extension now compared to July 1st, 2018?
