Anthony Davis Trade Thread Shimmies to #8

[Jaqua92]

The Irving story was probably planted for a reason, FWIW— were not giving up Tatum and were not budging. If that means no AD, no big deal.

Right. Just Danny failing. Come on guys. If Danny doesn't get his man, he failed. Perioid. Things snowballed, and it starts from his decision making. I know the green teamers don't wanna hear it. But it is what it is. No AD = Danny lost.

Ainge knows he cant give up everyone for a guy who might leave. Tatum is the guy he isnt parting with unless Davis extended and he wont

That's foolish.

You aren't winning with Tatum. You aren't winning if AD walks.

So why not chance it? Hope that you somehow turn Tatum into an mvp/ stars want to come play with him? I'm not going to intellectualize or rationalize why Danny holding onto Tatum is the right thing to do. Cause it isn't, no matter how much convincing anyone attempts to do. Miss out on Davis, you made a mistake. Idc if it costs Tatum and if it's a one year rental. Tatum won't win an mvp. You need an mvp. You take that risk.

Could still be a negotiating tactic. But still. Not a good idea. It's the Kawhi thing all over again. The raptors did EXACTLY this, and it got them a title.

The celtics pleaded for Paul Pierce not to leave, for him to stay, and to get him help. Once he recommitted to staying , they traded for Kevin Garnett. They should do the same for Kyrie Irving.

Trade Tatum for AD
Jaylen for Beal
Bring back Horford

[Jaqua92]

Danny is gonna get the trade done, and it will cost Tatum.

The question then becomes, everyone who "agrees" with Danny, you will be mad, right?

You dont chance it because Tatum is already good enough to fill the role as 3rd best player on a championship team and only has a great prognosis to be a solid player in this league.

Your other way leaves us empty of any stars and Danny cany be in a position where hes starting over. If anything, Irving burning him actually helps him see that you cant just trade everyone.

Also Danny is notoriously cheap when it comes to trades. He wins them big for a reason

[Jaqua92]

Danny just saw what happened in TOR. Tatum is gone, and this gets done soon

I only want Horford if hes opting out and coming cheaper. Otherwise we should be moving him. Danny wony let him get away without turning him into a future asset.

Ray Allen the only one I can think of that its happened with and obviously Irving if he leaves

No man. If Tatum is a 3rd option, where the hell do you get option #1 and #2? Who's gonna come here? FAs hate us.

And there will be nothing to trade. This is it.

I’m upset seeing the Raps as champs lol. I’m feeling desperate right now.. I’ll have more common sense come tomorrow.

The tortured process of convincing a star player to stay takes Grousbeck back to 2007, too.

“Right down there,” he said, pointing down a hallway to his office. “A meeting with Paul in my office right here, with Danny and Steve Pagliuca, and saying please stay. We’re going to try and get better this summer. But if Paul had left, then what did we have?

“He said I believe, I’ll stay. He wasn’t a free agent, but he had to re-commit and not demand a trade, and we just wanted him to stay,” said Grousbeck. “Ever since then, the summers have been, because the team got better, let’s keep that running as long as we can. Then Doc left and Brad came in, and it was very clearly a build, but none of that had this. We have five or six major choices to make this summer, the most we’ve had for many years.”

Danny wasnt able to land a superstar in Leonard and a solid player in green for an over rated bum who did nothing but flunk out of the playoffs for 5 years.

Toronto really lucked into a amazing trade.

Irving and Davis are the 1 and 2. And if Davis is coming I think Irving stays.

Tatum, Smart, Kings pick. That should get it done. In every trade, anything you have to compromise.

I want Davis as much as anyone but I'm 99% sure Kyrie is gone.

So you miss out on this opportunity because you'd have to lose your 3rd option to land your first option?
