    That would defeat the entire purpose. He's got his pros and cons but kyrie is the only one here with finals experience. It's a different atmosphere at that level

    Kyrie has had repeated knee issues, I don't see Ainge giving him 250 million.

    No he's not a Max guy but Boston can win now, what's the point of constantly planting seeds for tomorrow if you've got the full grown right around the corner?

    Boston can't win a title with this roster, Heyward has been horrible, and this is with Irving healthy, this is Boston, its championship or bust long-term.

    I disagree, they can win the east for sure. The roster is deeper than any team in the league and they have a top 5 coach. Once they get to the finals anything can happen. Stranger things have occurred to prolong a series such as when silver suspended Draymond for no reason at all

    They will have a good shot to win the East if Irving is healthy, but that's a big if, and they still have no legit shot against Golden State, Warriors would be -450 minimum against them in a 7 game series.

    Aside from Milwaukee and possibly Philly I rely don't see how Boston wouldn't win the East. They came close without kyrie last year and that was the best thing that could've happened for them going forward bc all of the young guys gained playoff experience

    Yeah gsw is ridiculous, Boston would need a gsw injury or suspension and play perfectly to beat them. Anyone would

    Agree but a best of 7 wouldn’t be easy work for Gst. Boston would extend it to 6 at minimum. This Boston team isn’t what Ainge and Stevens envisioned and won’t be if Hayward can’t return to form.

    If New Orleans doesn’t like Lakers best offer and nobody else steps up they should sit on him. LA cannot afford to wait until summer of 2020 to sign Davis. They will use what they have to get the players and/or picks NO wants. Lebron would be 36 if they wait on Davis.

    So you'd rather lose him for free than get as many pieces as you can?! You're forgetting that this is a business. AD could sit and join any team he wants in 2020, but we all know the NBA won't allow that.

    They don’t need to deal him now to LA for the bag of dicks Lakers are offering in return.

    La's trade package is garbage new Orleans has leverage because of LeBron's age, there is no reason they can't do what the Spurs did and wait, Davis just wants to win, there's no reason he wouldn't resign with Boston if they won the East.

    There is a spite factor with Davis much the same way the Spurs front office had with kawhi. They'll take a loss on a trade if it means Davis doesn't get to go to his intended destination

    I agree New Orleans doesn't want to send Davis to LA, but the Lakers had Boston's players, Tatum, Brown, I think they'd make a deal.

    Ball can't shoot anything but 3's, Ingram is too thin, Hart sucks, Kuzma is good but not good enough.

    Anthony Davis wants to be a Laker within one year. He may accept a one year deal with a proxy heading out of NOLA
    but LaBronna and Klutch Sports (Rich Paul) will have their way in L.A after 1 year.

    LaBronna has A.D. by the short hairs psychologically, emotionally and financially.
    Dreams of what could be for the Queen and the Lakeshow.


    **We all know that LaBronna IS Klutch Sports behind the scenes.

    I also tthink Ingram is terrible, he would disappear on any other team where LeBron isn't propping him up

    Davis is a kid, if Boston won the East with him he stay, Boston makes more sense anyways, LeBron is getting old and la has no team.

    Davis is overrated - superstar player should be able 2 lead his team to the playoffs every year- not 2 mention he’s hurt all the time - Lakers acting desperate again- could of had a better team with Paul George instead of Lebron

    The Pelicans have to feel insulted by these offers, a top 5 player for a guy who shoots 41% from the free throw line and 3 other players who are nothing special. I hope Lebron and the Lakers get nothing.

    Lol Kuzma is the best player out of the 2017 NBA draft. No one even close not even Tatum.

    Did you just compare Paul George, who has gotten dickslapped by Lebron every single year of his pathetic career, to the greatest player in basketball?

    I am pretty sure LeBron's camp is telling the Lakers not to give up too much but to make an honest attempt to get him now. They must be pretty sure that Davis will walk from any other team to make the offers that they made. Also I haven't seen shit from any other teams that looks compelling so the Lakers offer right now is the best on the table.

    Kyrie will probably walk from the Celtics and join LeBron and then if no trade this year we will see a sign/trade deal that brings Davis to the Lakers next year.


    We are winning.

    Boston will win the east with or without davis. Doesn't matter.

    This year is a wash for the NBA. Was obvious when Warriors signed the best big man in the world to a fluke 5 mill dollar deal. People in this business live game to game and they don't understand what Demarcus Cousins will be in 3 months. He won't be stopped, as usual.

    GS Warriors starting lineup is USA Basketball....

    Can't wait till next year.
