Sure.

You dont even know if davis will be a pel in two years.

You start with boogie. Fultz or a uk guard, isiah. And Brooklyn 1 next year. And you sign utah butler free agent.

I'd trade Cousins for the #1 pick, Brown, Bradley, and next year's #1. Maybe even without next year's #1. Simply because we don't even know if we're going to be able to re-sign Cousins.

Fultz is gonna be an awesome pick and roll player. He and Davis together would be a great combo.

I agree. If they were smart they would definitely unload IT in a package to either bring back another solid player or more future picks. The Celtics should go all in to bring in Hayward.

As fast as I'd jump on that trade, I don't think Boston will trade Bradley. He's too good of a 3&d sg

He has 1 year left on his current deal, at 8 mil, chances are that they won't want to pay what he'll command on his next deal especially considering they'll have IT, Fultz, Smart, and Rozier still on their roster (unless they trade some of them).

I guess it really depends on how they feel about Smart and Rozier. I really don't think they'll keep IT after this contract.

AS a C's fan, hell naw . That's a garbage return for all the potential talent we'd give up. And in no universe would that deal ever go down, because Danny Ainge is a genius, and Pels have good Ole mickey. We didn't completely rebuild a franchise in less than 3 years by making crappy deals.

You're an idiot, and you won't get a single player with half of the talent of AD from either of those two picks.

Lmao you get rid of the 40 million dollar man and get a top 5-10 two way player NOW that's locked in for 4 years (technically 3 edit) at a great price with the potential to be best in the NBA at the end of the deal and you say no? You need actual superstars at some point if you want to have any shot at a title. Those actually, here's the kicker, require giving up assets.

Yeah, I guarantee you, if the Celtics could swing a miracle trade for a top 5 player, that guy would pull a 1260 (that's a 180 after spinning for a while) on his hot take.

An easy no from me. Barring injuries, Davis is a generational talent. No one in either this year's draft class nor next year's has that level of potential. IT's a nice feel good story, but he's not taking a team anywhere in the West accept maybe to the middle of the lottery.

The trade proposed was actually this year and next years first round pick for AD. Thomas was not involved in the hypothetical trade.

Ask if they want cousins. Not saving their bacon taking 5 9" guard in association that permits 6 7" guards to carry/palm and travel.

In an alternate universe where everyone has to dribble without steps, little guys can plunder any fool 6 7 guy trying to dribble in the open court and strip them on the way to the hole if they cant travel and must dribble all the way.
