We need a trade or a right sourced rumor

Exactly

Why do you say that as if that benefits the Lakers? If Danny adds Tatum, it's over he's coming here

So does this mean that he's coming to Boston, they're just negotiating a trade?

I'll always support this team, but if Danny doesn't get this done, I will absolutely question him as a GM for the rest of his time here

Stockpiling all those assets weren’t intended for a player who has one year left on his contract and how doesn’t want to come here.

That would be a desperate move on his part.

Sounds like you're asking for a unicorn tbh. You want a top 5 superstar who is available for trade and eager to come specifically to Boston? Then chances are you're gonna be waiting for tatum and Brown's entire careers. It's hard enough to get a guy like AD as it is.

That too 5 superstar doesn’t want to come to Boston. And if he is traded there, there is a strong chance he is leaving after his year is up. This is not like a KG situation back in 2008.

I don’t know about you guys, me personally, I don’t want to trade for a player that doesn’t want to play for my team and will have one foot out the door. I get risks but there are other risks to take with giving up Tatum, another young player and picks.

Windhorst is brilliant.

I only ever venture into the general board if I want a different perspective.

Cant imagine anyone wasting their time on the Lakers board

The real question is this.

Can the celtics beat the Lakers package without given up Tatum? If they can, then he should never be in the table. No reason to give in on him just to lock down the grade you're already gonna a win anyway.

I don't like rooting for players that don't want to be a celtics and give away players (Tatum and Jaylen) that love Boston. I just dont

Tatum is the hold up. I called the Pelicans using the lakers as leverage.

I wouldn't give up Tatum. I would give up Brown.

If it doesnt work? Oh well.

If true I think it reaffirms the idea that we're the primary target and they're the stalking horse. Also evidenced by the fact that the Lakers offers are being leaked, not ours.

They can't IMO. Even if you consider Brown better than any one of those Lakers guys that wouldn't happen simply because of perception IMO.

‪I called the pelicans using the lakers as leverage. What they want is the celtics assets. Once they Tatum, both sides will reach an agreement on a trade.‬

Kinda the same. Funny part in all of this is that the Lakers are in fact the leverage. And everything I said is kinda true. I doubt Danny's even offering the MEM pick- imo it's Brown/Smart/14/future C's pick with slight protection. Griffin doesn't value Ingram or Kuzma even close to Tatum that's why they are using the Lakers to extract Tatum from us. Everything is pointing that way. I've been saying for basically a year that the Lakers young guys aren't valued as high around the league, and I'm being proven RIGHT at this very moment.

I wouldn't give up Tatum. I would give up Brown.

I've felt that way since the start. Got roasted for it. I changed my mind as the season progressed because the core of the team just wasnt working.

I wouldnt give up Tatum but if Davis signed for an extension at the end of the year I could live with the results.

But Danny isnt doing his job if hes just given everyone away.

Kinda what I thought. But in the end, how badly do the pelicans want to burn the Lakers and at what point is enough for them.

If we could re sign Irving, swing Horford or Hayward for something and use that something to supplement Tatum's posistion in the trade, that would be the perfect scenario. And yes, I know those two dont likely have the value to land whatever that is but maybe it's not alot they would need.

I don't get it. Why should Danny raise his offer? Lakers' offer is a heap of trash. Tatum would just be the gooey mound of poop under it.

This just tells me that Griffin doesn't want anything that the Lakers have. Unless they go to a third team, which probably they're having a hard time to do.
