LOL.

I said he'd be in it.

Did you see your name listed?

I'm not shy.

I would have blown you up without hesitation....lol

I believe @Shanemansj13 said Doncic was untouchable... but not Simmons and Tatum.

I could be mistaken, though.

No one is untouchable when you are talking MVP level players.

But I can't envision a situation where Doncic or Simmons would be moved.

Tatum is somewhat different because the Celtics have a glut of swing players and a glaring need for a player like AD. The current Celtics team isn't winning a title. A Celtics team with AD and without Tatum absolutely could.

 

[Gman]

Yeah, no.

He said it....lol

In that post... he was more speaking more from the C's point-of-view...

In other post(s), he flat out said he only considered Doncic untouchable, but not Simmons or Tatum.

I don't necessarily disagree with any of this.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yep.


I think NO is pissed he requested a trade and they are now going to trade him. They wouldn't have removed him from the intro video if he was going to be traded in the summer.

Bet all your Vcash?

I say less than 5% chance he gets dealt by the deadline.

The Pelicans said they removed his image so the fans didn't boo his ass.

Danny Ainge said Tatum is safe and I believe him?

Yeah, no.

To say he's untouchable for a rental is one thing.

But, safe from trades?

This is the post you are referring too.

He made the Tatum is safe post after.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Well duh....you specifically mentioned Tatum as being untouchable. That's what I was referring to.

@Mecca

Bring back Morris, A.D., Kyrie...Yep.

What about Horford?

Trade him in for a younger model?

 

[DJ Fieri]

The picks would just be the icing on the cake of a deal that would include Tatum and Brown most likely. And for a rebuilding team the picks would be valuable to add depth to their roster.

This also.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

@Mecca

Well done.

Apologies.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Exactly.....they won't trade Tatum just to trade him.....but AD's a possible game changer.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

This also.

* stands down and let's DJ rock the Mic *

 

[DJ Fieri]

Well done.

Apologies.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Was looking for the smooching emoji and settled for that one.

Tell you what's funny.

I still think he will end up with the Lakers...lol

Just not this year.

 

[Gman]

Bring back Morris, A.D., Kyrie...Yep.

The Celt's aren't trading both Brown and Tatum... so add one of the two into that mix... scary good.

What about Horford?

Trade him in for a younger model?

Horford best fits on a title contender like the C's...

... only economics would lead to him leaving... and, admittedly, this aspect would be a real concern if the C's got AD.

When James is in a wheelchair? LOL.

 

[bksballer89]

Pretty big game tonight for the Clippers.

Beat the Lakers and will have a 3 game lead on them

 

[DJ Fieri]

So Irving this summer and AD in 2020?

Plus James in a wheelchair as the #3 option?

Ok.

Yeah, keep AL.

If you can get Gordon back to 75% of what he used to be....

Scary.
