That Grizzlies pick is Top-6 protected for 2020.

Tatum is the star of that package and probably their goal all along. That Memphis pick is top 6 protected and the 2019 picks are just ok. Also I bet that offer is contingent on AD signing the extension.

I don't think boston cares if ad doesn't sign the extension if things don't go well they can trade him to some team like the suns or miami in feburary. I believe boston wants to screw it up for everybody the probably think they can paul george, or kawhi leonard him to change his mind. I look at new orleans roster they have no players on there roster outside of jrue holiday, randle, ad,payton and etwaun moore. The pelicans have no wing players on that team they need everything they can get.
That’s a horrible thought process. Why would anybody give the Celtics any package close to that Tatum type deal at the trade deadline knowing it didn’t work out for the Celtics? All teams would lowball and Celtics would have to take a bad offer or lose AD (&Tatum at that point) for nothing. For what? To screw with other teams? Other teams who would have fall back plans? Doesn’t sound smart.
In the end, Celtics will build around Tatum & Brown as they should. Bring Terry back probably too.

Both will be playoff contenders (barring injuries).

But to play with whom in Boston? Kyrie is not really comfortable there and will be an awkward pairing with AD I believe. Also, let's not undervalue the RJ Barrett pick. The Pelicans can sell a ZION/RJ Barrett best friends reunion to their fanbase very easily.

The rj barret pick is fine for the pelicans its everything else they are no comfortable with. If dennis smith get trade to the pelicans it going be his third team in his first three season not great asset for the pelicans. Frank nitkinia hasn't done well on his offensive game its really bad, but as defensive player frank good at that end of floor so that's negative asset to the pelicans. Kevin knox rookie season was up and down he was alright but does david griffin view him as future i don't think so. As great as mitch robinson was for the knicks this year him going back home to so do the pelicans view that as a distraction lot of family in the area of new orleans, it like lonzo ball being distracted in LA which he is distracted because he from LA. I also don't think the pelicans view mitch robinson as next great big man the probably think he is a deandre jordan type of player.
