Isn’t likely for Boston to give up Tatum, Brown, Smart and a pick.

Says who?  Boston has picks and young talent. Unless I am mistaken they have 4 1st round picks this summer.

They do have young talent. And all that young talent would be going to New Orleans.

But they got the picks?

Really?  That was my point.  Boston has more to offer than LA.

[Hoosierfan2017 25,088]

Boston can't trade for him until the offseason unless they trade Kyrie.

Lakers will likely end up in the Top half of the league so those picks wouldn’t be good enough. Ball and either Ingram or Kuzma. Could probably add a first rounder or two to that as well.

The picks the Celtics have aren't great either, though. They're better than the Lakers' picks for sure, but they're not as good as the picks they had in previous years.

I don't know for sure, but yeah I assume once free agency starts they can do it. 

[KingPG21 6,606]

TE out for Pacers tonight. I'm sure Nate will find some way to not play Holiday and Sumner a lot

[Hovadipo 61,603]

Sumner starting tonight let’s get weird boys.

Jahlil Okafor averaging 21 and 11 the past 5 games. Dude has talent. Coaches have just completely forgotten how to coach a big man. You’d think it would be even easier now with all the shooters teams have. Paint should be even more open. A reason Boogie Cousins and the Warriors become so much more dangerous now.

His defense has always been the issue. I still think long-term a team would struggle with him starting but he'd definitely be a nice option off the bench to carry a second unit.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 91,677]

Yogi and Freddie both with productive minutes off the bench.

NY trades Kristaps to the Mavs within hours of him meeting with Knicks brass to express displeasure at losing mentality. Wow, Mavs pairing Luka with Kristaps has to be the best young duo in the league. What a bold move by the Mavs front office. I love it.

That was the most lopsided trade I have ever seen. That was like mid 90s Clippers bad. I can’t believe they couldn’t do better.

KD and another superstar, maybe Davis 

[KingPG21 6,606]

It is gonna be really funny when the Knicks don't get Zion in the draft

I think they are shooting for Zion or Barrett. They will be fine though and likely will be trying to trade for multiple picks with other guys they have like Ntilikina and Mudiay.

They would get next to nothing for Ntilinka and Mudiay.

Mudiay is bad, and Ntilikina is bad offensively, though he was a top of the league caliber guy defensively against other point guards
