Celtics are turning into the Knicks if they make this deal. AD will walk, just like Kyrie will. Or they end up keeping both. What happens?

Yeah ok. I wonder if Woj has to say stuff like this or if he's just being nice.

Have to respect the Celtics on this one, they just won't give up no matter how many times they're turned down
Good thing no doesn't always mean no when it comes to trades

Ainge was always going to go all in on AD for years even with the risk. It would be risky for both teams imo to trade every asset

I really don't understand it from the Celtics POV. Kyrie looks like he's gone, so why give up your assets for AD, whether he stays or leaves?

I don't think Boston should do it if they have to give up Tatum

The one saying no here is the one person involved who doesn’t have a damn say in where he ends up.
He wants to choose where he goes? Opt out next season and enjoy Phoenix or Sacramento.

If Kyrie is indeed gone, I agree. If Danny knows otherwise, it's different. If Kyrie is staying, I absolutely go for AD.

Imagine if it's 4th pick to Boston and Brown to NO

As a raptors fan, I approve this message (if Kyrie leaves). If Kyrie stays then please god no lol.

Ainge is an unrepentant rapist when it comes to trades.
Strike for offensive post.

Good for the Celtics. Hope they swoop in and steal him, if only for a season. You never know what could happen in a year’s time. Look at the Kawhi situation..

Re: Woj: Celtics and Lakers Engaged with Pelicans on Anthony Davis Trade
I feel like AD would be a good fit in Boston. They could give up Tatum, Smart and their 'treasure trove' of picks. A lineup of Kyrie, Brown, Hayward, AD and Horford would be pretty hard to beat

He could be there just to drive up the price and make the Lakers give up everything they got and then some. Still have my theory about Benson. Wonder if it comes true or not. We will find out in a bit.
