Wouldn't this be crazy if it was actually set to happen?

Can we throw in the Mil pick as well just so there's an extra layer of smoke while we run off into the night ?

Every other team in the NBA can put a better package for AD

I think Booker eventually signs with Klutch. LeBron knew what he was doing when he was singing Booker’s praises just few years ago.

Doesn't really matter if he plays well enough to get another max.

It’s not necessarily the $$ I’d be concerned about but if he will force his way to a big market eventually because of Rich Paul/LeBron’s influence.

Booker is a young good looking, light skinned player too so he’s even much more marketable than the average NBA player.

If he wants to do it before his contract is up he'd likely do it regardless of who his agent is. I really don't think he's the type to, though I'm sure people said that about KD, George, Kawhi and maybe AD.

A. Davis to the Lakers for sure...too many risks for other teams.
No way the Celtics trade Tatum just for one season of Davis and he doesn't want to be there.

I would just trade for AD and take the chance on resigning him. Tj, Josh, 6th pick, bucks pick, 2021 pick top 3 protected, throw in Melton if you like and another pick if they desire. I think Monty can convince him to stay. We can all agree that TJ and Josh are the least liked players on this forum and the 6th pick looks depressing. Bucks pick will be late. All we give up really are 2 protected picks and we’ll probably be in the playoffs by then. Give them whatever they want not named booker, ayton, bridges.

Man how pissed would you be as his agent to get the can right before you were about to get a huge commission on his new contract.

Can't wait for the freakout when he signs with klutch.

Burns and Gambo were talking AD trade

Gambo had these two bits of info:

1) the Celtics are not moving Jayson Tatum for AD unless Davis agreed to a long term deal. My guess, the source (sauce?) for this information is somebody who sounds like "Anny Dainge"

2) Gambo said he was getting some news from a Pelicans source and when asked if anybody on the Suns interested the Pels…. drum roll please … "aahhhh not really..."

I kind of call BS on the second as my guess the Pelicans would like Mikal Bridges

For what it's worth, the Lakers we're reported to be including kuzma in that trade who now all the sudden is off the table. Klutch 1 everyone else 0

Kuzma holding up a trade for AD - wow

Karim - @kareezysports - reporting it’s close to done.

I asked if any others involved - no response yet. See if he is right

I've mentioned this not long ago that we need to have a working relationship with Klutch, no matter how much we despise Rich Paul. We can't just blacklist them, it's unprofessional and it's detrimental with more and more NBA players seemingly signing with Klutch. We don't have an issue now with Rich Paul since we don't have any Klutch clients but I would rather have an understanding and build a working relationship with Klutch in the event that someone (like Booker) signs with them in the future and we have no choice but to deal with them. And I'd rather deal with them already having a professional relationship than to try and defrost that relationship first before dealing with them.

We already have 2-3 wings better than Josh, we don't have a rim protector, we lack rebounding, we lack efficiency, we lack bbiq. Clarke was more efficient than Ayton was last year. He blocked a hell of a lot more shots despite the size and length limitations.

This is a dumb argument. I'd be surprised if ANY team would take current Josh over current Brandon Clarke.

It is a pretty dumb argument. Clarke and jackson are a wash. U essentially want to get rid of josh for next to nothing and hire his replacement in Clarke who will be just as bad or worse.

Clarke is unproven in the NBA because he's yet to hit the hard court, I get that. But Josh has and he's been historically bad in his two seasons and he would need to be a historical exception to not only become a neutral player on the court but also be a positively impactful player. So yes, we don't know what Clarke is yet in the NBA (although we have pretty good set of translatable data from college) but we have a pretty good idea of what JJ is now and likely what it would take for him to break out of the mold of this incredibly negative player. Unlike Clarke, JJ's issue's isn't *just* a matter of needing a reliable 3PT shot. It's the on court decision making, it's the IQ on both ends of the court and it might even be his work ethic that is questionable.

I don't have those same questions with Clarke; he's shown he makes the right reads, he makes the right decisions and he makes the right moves to impact plays in a positive manner. For him, he really just needs to add a 3PT shot. Now he might never become a 40% shooter from range but just having his level of on court smarts and work ethic certainly gives me comfort that he'll find a way to be productive and effective.

My favorite screw it lets get weird offseason move would be to trade for Justice Winslow and play him at the point. He did some nice things in that role when all Miami's guys were hurt last season. They would be a big switchy group.

Except none of that is enough to get it done, even if you throw in Melton and another pick (lol)

Even you're talking down the assets you're looking to move in a trade so why on Earth would the Pels want that crap pile?

Absolutely. I'd use the Jones and LeBron friendship to try and join the dark side and become a klutch destination. Better than being an enemy.

Yeah Kyrie to Brooklyn is basically a sure thing. Going to be interesting to see how the Kyrie and Russell pairing works in the backcourt, assuming they keep him. Also interested to see how they manage their backcourt minutes with Dinwiddie as well. Too much talent is a good problem to have though.

I wonder if Kyrie pretty clearly signaling that he's leaving will change Boston's approach with AD, especially with Rich Paul's posturing today. It makes sense to not include Tatum without a long-term deal. I'm sure Boston will still put up a good offer, but I don't think they sell the farm anymore. I could see them keeping Rozier too. Unfortunately AD to the Lakers looks pretty inevitable at this point.

What if we send them 2 unprotected FRP?

Who would you rather add to our backcourt this summer?
