That's posturing. Especially with the Knicks and Lakers having top four picks, the Pels would be stupid to let the Knicks/Lakers pick a player instead of getting the guy they want.

You also lose leverage on the Knicks to try to use AD as a free agency draw for KD or Kyrie. Plus, AD winds up months from FA by the deadline.

You know you'll get a legit summer offer. You don't know you'll get a good one at the trade deadline.

This is just to try to strengthen negotiating leverage. Hell, basically all the talk about AD staying is leverage.

It's certainly leveraging, but there is no reason for the Pels not to leave it open as an option.

Especially if Griffin is serious about what was reported yesterday by Woj, which is that Griffin is open to seeing this right now as a Toronto and OKC situation depending on how meeting with AD goes in the coming days/weeks.

The Pels hold the cards here.
