Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
A few years ago, Lakers had Lonzo coming in! He was Magic Johnson with Steph Curry range and crazy bounce!!!!
Now they're desperately trying to offload him for a #6 pick.
Basketball.
Don't see how it can be Tatum and little else due to salaries
I don't really like Hayward that much cause he's just getting paid so, so, so much. We'd actually have to ADD salary to take Hayward and Tatum, his contract is so big.
They could offer something like
Tatum + Smart + Ojeleye + Yabusele, which comes up to pretty close to the salary. Something like $23m, I think, and AD is around $25.
Lots of stuff happened. Here's the basic rundown:
Rich Paul did an interview in March where he said that Boston would definitely be a one year rental, AD doesn't want to go there, and that he had told Ainge that.
Ainge still wants to make moves for AD anyway, and Shams has reported that Boston are still ''aggressively pursuing'' an AD trade. No leaks to know what their offer looks like yet.
LA are pretty desperate. Leaks have come out saying they're offering Ingram, Ball, and #4, but Griffin has told them that's not enough. Either they flip #4 for better assets, or they get a third team involved.
NYC is in a similar boat to LA: they're apparently still interested, but have also been told their young guys like Knox aren't very interesting, and they've been making phone calls to see if they can turn some of those younger players and some of their picks into better assets.
Griffin is pretty much playing everyone off against each other trying to pump up the deals.
We have a good card game going on here. Griff controls the table.
Oh for God sake
Within weeks of free agency, Boston Celtics star Kyrie Irving and his longtime agent Jeff Wechsler have parted ways, league sources tell ESPN.

Kyrie is going to continue to let Boston know he’s not coming back.
Timing couldn't be worse for us. Kyrie gone, there's no reason for Ainge to ante up for AD.
I was REALLY worried that Kyrie signed with Klutch lmao.
I'd agree, if it weren't for the fact that everything we have heard from Ainge for months is that he's still interested in an AD trade, with or without Kyrie.
And this includes as recently as this week.
It may limit Ainge's top offer, but as we've already discussed, there's a strong argument that even Boston's 2nd or 3rd best offer could still be better than LAs or NYs depending on what they acquire or which third team they get involved.
