Protected clippers pick (17-24)
That's it
That's silly. That's what Ainge gave up for half a season of Toine. A season of PG is worth considerably more.

After this news, value of that LAL pick went down. If PG is playing for the Lakers, that pick would have minimal chance of being 2-5, and C's suddenly have only 1 shot of getting valuable lotto pick back. That was part of the value.
Lemon laws!
If that deal wasn't negotiated with that exact scenario in mind by Danny, then that's another in the fireable offense category.

Man, you need to chill.
The fact that the pick is not conveyed if it's lower than 5 is a clear sign that possibility of Lakers improving was considered. PG coming out with this statement today, even thought 3 days ago he was on a record saying that he'll play out his contract with the Pacers, is not something you can predict. Hence, my original post.

*Tin foil hat on*
Timing of this was planned by the Lakers to screw up Celtics.

but i think they might be enticed with a package of lower picks. memphis, our 2018, and our first 2nd rounder this year. they need to restock, and this gives them something for nothing. they know they aren't going anywhere next year, and they can get a jump on their rebuild and give the lakers a FU along the way.

That's a very fair package.

No, it went up. Why would the Lakers give anything for PG13 when they can get him next year for free? Meanwhile, the Lakers can't sign decent free agents because they need the cap space to sign George.

In this proposal do we trade salary as well or use cap space? I'm guessing salary

we'd be using our cap space for PG13. it's "only" 19.3m. so we just have to send picks.

Two high firsts and a second? Pretty sure some treadmill team will overpay for a year of him and beat that package easily.

let them, so long as it's not LAL.
LAL doesn't have much incentive to trade for PG when they know he's coming. but this would ensure that they don't get him a year early and ruin our chance for a top pick next year. even tho the sacto pick might actually work out better anyways...
