A lot of people think that Tatum will be in that Top 5 group in a few years. That being said - I would trade any combination of players ( except Tatum ) and picks on the Celtics for AD.
correct.
Ainge is building this team for the long haul, not to cash in for a 2 year run. He already did the cash in method back in 2007.
Anthony Davis is a monster, no doubt. Easily top 3 in the league. But at the same time that type of play isnt what wins in the current NBA. Its about perimeter play, playing uptempo and versatility in your players.
and are you aware of what Tatum did in the playoffs last year with Irving and Hayward out injured?
Tatum could potentially be in that group but Davis is already in it. I would prefer the sure thing and yea sure he's a free agent in 2 years but the C's would have a good chance of keeping him.
Regardless the Pelicans wouldn't move him for a player like Brown... Tatum is the only roster player it'd be worth it for. Ainge already tried to lowball CHI & IND for PG/Butler... didnt work.
Yes Tatum had a good run last year but Davis can win a series on his own.. hell he's averaging 30 & 12 over 13 games.
& Davis is 4th best IMO... right behind James-KD-Kawhi.
Randle 7th, Russell 2nd. Are you ever right? No. Will you ever stop using that emoticon in every post? No. (Look at the previous post)
The Sixers will not make the second round.
I will write it out for you
Good picks - Vujacic, Bynum, Randle, Russell, Farmer, Douglas
Bad - Cook, Jeffries, Crittenton (honestly he'd be in the good category if he hadn't gotten mixed up with the gangs)
Cook/Jeffries were later picks anyway, most of the time you arent going to hit on picks on like those.
I dont know why you're so obsessed with his draft record... championships are more important and you tend to care less about drafting when you are pursuing them.
