Seems like posturing to get Boston to include Tatum. ATL would be dumb to give up Collins for the #4 pick. I can see a #8 & #10 for #4, but not sure how that helps NO much?

They knew what the cost were going to be for years.
Yes kyrie could leave the celtics, there is a risk to that, as well as trading Jayson Tatum and losing both players, but everything you do requires risks.
If the celtics can't meet the pelicans asking price, then walk away. Jaylen Brown is not going to get it done. The pelicans wants a player with all star potential they can sell to their fans. They can't do that with Jaylen Brown.
It makes me sad that I kinda agree they should back off if they have to include Tatum. I want AD so bad but they won't have enough talent to compete if Tatum is gone. Ainge waited years for this and for it not to happen would be a major failure.
But thats basically saying you have no confidence in the front office to make subsequent trades. You lose Tatum which was a given. You still have a ton of draft picks to make trades. Unless everyone has no faith in the front office to make trades i dont see why you should throw in the towel on trading for Davis.

That’s the thing...with Atlanta if they don’t give up Collins your just getting more picks in a weak draft....if it’s pacers and u get sabonis or if they like turner that’s a different story

I get you hold out on including your best offer, until later on but not like this. Pelicans might even think the celtics are trying to insult them. We saw how that worked out for the lakers.

He either knows something or he’s kicking the tires to raise the price for LA.
There is a difference between gambling and taking calculated risks. I feel if Ainge gives up too much, for a possible 1 year rental, it will sent this franchise back.
Pelicans are doing there job by getting teams in a bidding war. Someone is going to overpay, I hope it’s not the Celtics.
I agree with your points and if AD leaves it is a step back. Also have to realize kyrie leaving for nothing is also a step back already

Kyrie leaving for nothing is a step back. I would love for the Celtics to resign Kyrie, so we can trade him as soon as possible so we can get some close to equal value in return.
But I don’t think Kyrie wants to give Danny and the Celtics that opportunity. Maybe that changes in the next few weeks.
Celtics can’t afford another setback by overpaying for a possible one year rental.
The Pelicans are trying to get the Lakers to include Kumza so that they Celtics can include Tatum.
It makes sense for the Lakers to include Kumza if they have to because there is a strong chance once the Lakers get AD that AD will sign an extension there. The Celtics don’t have that same luxury.

Can't see why a volume scorer like Kuzma moves the needle much..
