Anthony Davis Trade Thread Shimmies to #8

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the reported Celtics interest in AD is to A. Drive up the price for the Lakers and B. Keep eyes away from what Danny Ainge is really working on.

Would not just Beal beat all these offers.. I Guessing so badly run no one else to sign. One guard from portland again beats Lakers Celtics with filler. I see other teams players i would want over most trades Celtics should offer.

Eh, doubtful. AD has been his prize for years.

I wish al would opt in or out already. He knows what hes doing.

That would make things clear on the Davis situation. God I forgot how hard the waiting is

If that's true, then I guess the question is what is motivating that deal - because NOLA sure as **** isn't getting the best pieces from LA.

Smells like some LeBron/Rich Paul/David Griffin/Adam Silver "maximize LeBron's final years" skullduggery.

Feel people are missing this.

Going from having all these “assets” and Just left with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown is disappointing.

Who knows maybe they become stars but I can see why people are upset.

I am not saying we don’t make the trade. I’m saying if we get shut out, let’s not hang ourselves. Let’s support the young kids and green no matter what.

We've been waiting on the "young kids" for several years with no meaningful results. We're the Boston Celtics, not the Maine Red Claws. Give us vets that can contend.

People need to stop posting these hack tweets from nobody's then acting like it's fact.

Over half the NBA would love to be "disappointed" with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Because most the NBA isn't building a contender.

The one thing I can’t wrap my head around is Ainge just ignoring the fact that Anthony Davis hates it here and wants to be in LA with LeBron.

This is so much different than Garnett. KG wanted another star here and we got Ray Allen and he wanted to talk contract extension. It seems like no matter what the plan is AD doesn’t give a damn and just wants to be in LA.

How is Ainge just sitting there with a smile on his face lol he’s risking everything. It’s almost comical.

I understand it’s all reports, who knows what’s true. But this is what’s reported to let’s roll with it.

What are you talking about? They’re not even off of their rookie deals yet

And I hate Kyrie Irving, but if he shows up in green next year with Anthony Davis I’m still gonna cheer like crazy.

As long as Danny doesnt lose Irving for nothing then I'm fine either way on what happens.

I'm not saying trade for Davis at all cost, just zero interest in taking steps back and not forward at this point in the "rebuild"

At this point in time trading for Irving appears to have been massive step backwards.

But my brother's sister's cousin's boss's best friend from high school whose dad works for the Celtics just tweeted that AD was spotted at logan.

What do we do in case AD signs here then bolts and we have no Tatum or Brown lol. Gotta think 12 steps herr

Woj has never said that AD is going to be traded to Boston. Unless I missed something.

We gave up nothing for him honestly and a pick that ended up being only slightly better than the one we kept.

I dont think anyone would of not done that trade. I just hate to lose him for nothing, and to the God damn nets of all people.

****edited my wording because these are real people I'm talking about.
