Not sure how a poster who has been around this long can be this gullible.

I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just forgot the green font. And this gullibility has been present in every single one of these threads and even on NBA radio today. Tim Legler was going on and on about what he read about the trade and not one person there could bring up the fact that all of this “news” was coming directly from LeBron’s team. Its amazing that people still just blindly believe anything Woj and his cohorts tweet out

Gullible or disagreeable. I guess these are the same things. I see lebron and rich Paul's angle here....however, it's not like anyone is leaking anything from AD to refute anything either. I find it hard to believe lebron is the only guy that can leak info so it's clear their interests are aligned.

Did I make the hall of shame. That's my biggest question remaining.

C’mon now. You’ve worked very hard for this honor today. You know you’re probably top of that list. Take a bow now.

Not disagreeable (at least not on my side). I’m just tired of believing anything we hear from any of these guys anymore. Its all smoke.

This entire week was the most obvious ploy to try to get the Pels to pull the trigger on a deal now to avoid having to compete against the Cs this summer. From where I was sitting it was a clear as day from the beginning and only got worse over time as they did stupid things like name 3 other teams that he was interested in and none of them could top the Lakers offer. What he said was that he wanted to go to a winning team. The Knicks, LAC and Lakers are all losing ones so he’s either a liar or they’ve been blowing smoke all week long. Don’t believe the hype

No Wall of Shame for me on a trade thread? Man, I'm slipping.

[ViperGTS]

I'm not sold on throwing everything at AD just for him to leave in a season. Plus hes made of glass.

I don’t think its a lock that he leaves. What is the difference between what we could pay him and what anyone else could? Its the same reason why I’m not scared at all of Kyrie leaving. They’ll both have 40-60,000,000 reasons to stay

Except his agent said he will leave

That doesn’t mean anything, apparently.

Correct

Sry guys but he has no interest in being in Boston. Dad made a statement and not on agent's list of preferred destinations (this is as close it gets to him coming to the media and directly saying F*** boston).

I'm not giving up the talented core we have for a one year rental on a player who really has no desire to be here longtime. I just I'm in the minority that enjoys watching this core and wants to see them grow together and become the next dynasty (after GSW) rather than giving up all young talent for a supposed top 5 player (didn't even have team in 8 spot prior to his #30 injury in his career).

Yeah, and KG didn't want to come here..and Paul George was 100% signing with the Lakers.

Except that KG gave assurance he would resign before that trade pushed through. Unless AD gave assurance this off season, which can be a possibility, its best not to sign him for a years rental!

Difference is AD is a top 3-5 player right now. KG was great but certainly couldn't claim anything like that. Not to mention being several years younger

You sure KG wasn’t better than AD the time we traded for him? He was a former league mvp and the year we got him, won dpoy. Heck, he was also in the running for league mvp that time. AD being top 5 right now is also debatable. I have Lebron, Curry, Kawhi, KD, Giannis all above him. He hasn’t proven anything yet. The only thing going for him is, he’s still young and could def be better. Plus we know he likes to play with kyrie, every star does.

Yeah im sure. Put AD on a semi competent team and he would be regarded as a top 2 player i'd put money on it

and also im not against getting AD. I think he and kyrie would be a perfect match. Im just not sold on gutting our team, for a years’ rental with no assurance he would resign. The lakers would **** on our faces, if we traded everything and he still joins them after a year.

That would suggest they tie up 0 caproom all of next season and still have to clear a few contracts to make that happen. That would burn yet another year of LeBron

If they don’t get AD this deadline, i think they are prepared to assume they won’t get him till 2020. They could also trade lebron to clear cap space, and find some young superstar to team up with AD.

I hope that happens here of course

Someone make a new thread

[sully00]

From everything that's being reported Davis has no desire to come here. I'm sure Ainge will take the risk but you'd hate to have Davis for one year have him leave and then lose out on all your assets like Tatum and or brown.

Bingo. Just heard something dumb as rocks. Mannix: Sometime younhsve to separate what the people around the player want, what the agent wants, and what the player wants,”

WTF. As I stated earlier the AGENT DOES WHAT THE PLAYER WANTS. Unreal.

No if the player wanted to represent himself he would not have an agent and keep the money. Anthony Davis has a goal how it gets done is up to his agent. Davis decided he was not going to re-sign in NO this play to get him dealt at the deadline and to be dealt to LAL is Rich Paul. Sure he gets to nod on whether he is good with this franchise or that. But he is not going to sign off on the tactics because if it fails he can blame the agent, fire him, and they go a different way.

If Paul fails to get AD moved by the deadline and the result is Davis being put on the shelf for the rest of the season you may well see him fire Paul and get an agent that is going to be able to work with NO on a trade.
