All I'm excited about is being able to quote from this piece when the Celtics drop him so fast trying to get AD.

The Savior of the "No-No-Yes" Celtics

He’s eventually going to be that guy. And then some. He’s going to be an MVP candidate and a 30-point scorer someday. Maybe sooner than we think. His ceiling isn’t Paul Pierce 2.0; it’s actually … (gulp) … somewhere between Carmelo Anthony and Durant.

 

hell ya

 

I think the Bucks will try to get another big on the buyout market - I don't know if they need another wing but Ellington or Matthews would be dope

probably complete the Lopez twin set tho which would be fun

 

I get that...but if he helps you get AD that's still waaaay better asset management than just drafting Fultz who...sucks.

 

I can't believe Boston fans went from hyping Tatum to the levels they did last year to being ok with him just being an "asset to get AD" a year later. Everyone was saying he was the next LeBron just like 9 months ago! Now he's gonna be trade bait for a player whose dad said doesn't trust Boston. Man, I dunno.

 

lol I'm not advocating one way or the other. All I'm saying was...Danny was right to pick him over Fultz. There's no arguing that fact. Personally, I don't wanna move Tatum because AD doesn't wanna be here. I also don't think he's gonna be in the offer, but we'll see what happens.

 

I am re-reading that Simmons column and I can't believe Boston would just dangle Tatum before a playoff run. Talk about confidence killing.

 

Robin in MIL would be pretty cool actually

 

Yeeeeeah, that part i def don't get. Also, completely agree adding Kanter to the locker room is terrifying.

 

Also, I still believe in Jaylen Brown as a really useful piece.

I think his poor start to the year has resulted in people forgetting what his positives are.

 

Oh, of course he was. I was saying he should have gone #1 haha. I'm just shocked how now a bunch of Boston fans are like "oh yeah, we didn't get Fultz, we got AD bait now!" --

Oh, and if I'm AD and I see the knifes in everyone's backs in Boston I'd be running the other way .... heh.

 

I like Jaylen a lot but he definitely feels like the odd man out if there's a trade in the offseason. No one will want Hayward, ideally you're getting Kyrie to re-sign and Tatum should be pretty close to untouchable.

 

Jaylen has been really really good since january

 

Totally possible. But I like Jaylen over any of the Lakers assets was really my point.

 

Did I miss anything? I was reading the shit show in the Thrice thread


Also, not looking forward to another four months of the AD saga. Should’ve traded him to some random ass team

 

But why?

 

lol I may be west-coast ignorant, but I don't like any of the Lakers young guys except Kuzma.
