Ainge when the time comes I'm sure will encourage Horford to opt in because even if he opts out you are already looking at over the tax probably with Davis, Max Kyrie, Hayward, Smart and Brown alone. Then you have got to resign Morris and Horford, and now you're entering most expensive roster in basketball territory.

Work with Al, find good 3rd team for him is the best option for the Celtics imo, and probably Al too because 30 million is a ton of money.

Boston: Davis, Poetl
New Orleans: Tatum, Pau Gasol, Mem pick, Sac pick
San Antonio: Horford

we can quibble over the filler but I like that. SA could maybe chip in a little more too. I know Pop and co would love to stick it to the Lakers.

This leaves Ainge room to bring back Morris, use exceptions, sign and trade (or retain) Rozier etc, and should still have some picks he can deal to add talent to the roster. I just dont see how its financially possible to add so much money in Davis, give Kyrie and Morris raises and still bring back Al even in the event he opts out.

Horford isn’t opting in to get traded.

Ownership doesn’t care about the luxury tax.


Exactly! Horford isn’t opting out without talking to Danny. And that talk will be who are we getting and am I getting traded.

So you think he lied when he said he was staying?

I take Kyrie at his word over ‘unnamed sources’ anyway. Especially since we’ve been playing over .700 ball for the last 30 games


I've told many women I loved them.

And I meant it at the time.

Would be better if Kyrie and Davis signed extensions. Not sure if that can happen, but itd be cooler if they. How odd would that be to have a deal in place for July 2, then we win a title this year and still do that. Especially if Brown and Tatum played huge parts in that. I'd rather see them sign by deadline, do it right now, send them a new starting line up to help them make the playoffs in the 8 spot so they can wear down the Warriors in round 1.

I did this in the machine and everything works out. Davis, Randle, Mirotic for Horford, Rozier, Tatum, Morris and Yabusele.

Would have Kyrie, Smart, Wannamaker, Brown, Hayward, Ojeleye, Davis, Randle, Baynes, Theis, Williams, Mirotic.

They get Holiday, Rozier, Tatum, Moore, Morris, Yabusele, Horford as a new core plus Sac pick and Memphis pick to add to that. It helps both teams going forward.

Again not sure if they Can sign now to pull the trigger but if they could ...

Dallas will be a powerhouse next year. If KP can play this year they might make the PO.

They have no assets to get Davis. That isnt happening

I tend to believe Irving isnt gonna join a **** Knicks team but he is a man masquerading around as a genius.

You shouldn't be. He's been working his ass off since last summer getting AD to Boston.
