If I was NO I would be looking at Orlando Portland oklahoma city just to name a few. Boston would not be on my radar.

I'm not sure the wiretap is crazy. 4/Kuzma/Ball they're all pretty close to the same level to me.

Ball is hurt a lot, can't shoot yet, and Dad's a huge distraction.
#4 in a weak draft.
Kuzma's a scorer and a sieve

That's why Griffin is making them look around for more appealing players.

Either Danny and David are doing this in absolute secrecy or Celtics don't have an offer at all lol.


The Celtics organization isn't dysfunctional like the Lakers.

I liked Kuzma over Tatum this year? I do not watch the Lakers often. What I saw I liked. I would not be shocked other people in basketball feel the same?


Kuzma shot 42% after the ASB and 25% from 3 as the Lakers went in the tank. At least Ball and Ingram have the excuse they were hurt for the last couple of months of the season.

There is a better than 80% chance Davis will be playing for the Lakers. So it’s no surprise when is in a Laker uniform next season.

No AD no Kyrie.

I would start getting comfortable with the idea of a possible Mike Conley for Rozier type of trade.

Perhaps Capela as well.

Kyrie to Brooklyn with Butler and AD to LA with Lebron and maybe Klay Thompson

That's my guess

Kuzma is a bonafied chucker, he ranks at the very bottom in defensive ratings amongst SF/PF players, he can't shoot 3s. Shot .300 on >5 attempts. If winning matters, there are no metrics in which Kuzma is better than Tatum(that's even excluding age)..
Good assessment:

Klay is getting 5/190 from Warriors. He ain't going to LAL. Not even close.

He's actually close to Danny as well. Danny was the first person to hire him in the NBA back in Phoenix if I'm not mistaking.

He said it before the trade deadline too.

This is completely on Danny. If he offers Tatum it's done.

Woj said La and Pelicans talks have distanced.

Danny isn't gonna let this pass

Ainge isn't as desperate as some people in this forum. Ainge will offer what he wants and if AD is moved elsewhere he will move on.

Like I said don't watch lakers. He kicked ass in the parts of games I watched. Tatum made me sick. So I could have biased opinion.

If the pels are asking for JT/JB/Smart or w/o smart - to include Picks. Do you hang up ?

JB/JT/Smart is overpay even for a damn guaranteed 30ppg/10rb player
