If the Celtics want Davis they have the assets to get him.

Tatum
Brown
Smart
Boston pick this year
Memphis pick
Future Boston pick
Take back Hill


Done deal

Boston is not serious about trading for Davis. They just want to raise the price for the Lakers or Knicks

Brown can net you a player you might like a lot better from a 3rd team.




In that case I'd have to reevaluate. But just in terms of this trade I'd be more disappointed if Smart got re-routed than Brown

I think alot of the "Boston is not interested" stuff comes from there being no leaks about Boston pursuing him...

Ainge plays alot of things close to the chest, hes not going to negotiate through the media..

It's likely Ainge has the best package together right now, and Griffin is just waiting to see what LA or NY can get together before pulling the trigger on Boston

The Boston is not interested thing comes from Lakers homers.

The reason there are no Boston leaks is that it is them that Griffin is trying to get to increase their offer (well, that and the fact that the Lakers/Klutch leak everything).

FWIW, half of these teams would have already traded for Beal if it were that easy.

I think he's just been firm that it can end up being Brown or the MEM pick but not both.


In the currently mentioned scenario I think they’d be a lot more willing to give both if you get AD and retain Kyrie. You’re not just getting two superstars but also greatly increasing your chances of keeping AD.

So is it your position that Griffin’s talks about 3 team trades with the Lakers and Knicks is him maneuvering to up the Celtics offer?

I would literally take a day off work to celebrate if we land Beal or Myles Turner, 14, and Tatum.

Asking them to find a 3rd team is a flat out rejection of their current assets. They are being sent off to peddle their side dishes for someone else's entree. Good luck.

We will see what happens, but sure doesn't look like Griffin is getting the bidding war that he wants.

The Celtics have Memphis’s first round pick.

1-6 protected next year.

Unprotected in 2021

That would mean I've been dead wrong lately.

Any, uhh, specific reason why you believe every pro AD to LA deal but don't believe any report about AD to another team?

He’s either just trolling or retarded at this point. Possibly a bit of both. I wouldn’t expect any kind of actual answer or debate.

It sounds like the Knicks and Lakers are working hard to make things happen. Griffin is on the record before becoming the Pels GM liking both Ingram and Ball so I think he will "settle" if he thinks the Lakers give him better value.

You're acting like we're crazy thinking we can get all 3 of Boston's top assets, but I think taking the Lakers deal if Boston only offers 2 is a very real possibility. Is giving up all 3 assets too high of a price for the value AD returns, or is holding firm on only sending out 2 of 3 assets penny wise and pound foolish?
