I'm sitting here tryna convince myself about Anthony Davis on the Celtics

[UpAndComing]

Been watching playoff highlights of him against the Warriors and Lebron...






And I'm impressed

But I'm just torn cause I heard in the trade they might want to trade away Jaylen Brown, Rozier, and Jayson Tatum to get Davis. Not sure I'm ok with breaking up their young core



Please someone answer me these questions

- Is he really that legit? Is Davis a gamechanger?

- How serious is his injury history, are most of those behind him? Was the amount of games he sat out cause of the Pelicans' trash medical staff?

If Ainge can pull that off and keep Tatum

The way the Lakers playing they about to get the 3rd or 4th overall pick

I wouldn't even trade for him yet. Once he ask out. He will diminish his trade value.

2018 first round draft pick from L.A. Lakers
L.A. Lakers' 2018 1st round pick to Philadelphia (via Phoenix) or to Boston (via Phoenix to Philadelphia) protected for selections 1 and 6-30; if this pick falls on any of its protected selections and is therefore retained by Philadelphia, then Boston will instead receive the more favorable of Philadelphia's 2019 1st round pick protected for selection 1 and Sacramento's 2019 1st round pick protected for selection 1 (via Philadelphia) and Philadelphia will receive the less favorable or the protected of these two picks [L.A. Lakers-Phoenix, 7/11/2012; Milwaukee-Philadelphia-Phoenix, 2/19/2015; Philadelphia-Sacramento, 7/9/2015; Boston-Philadelphia, 6/19/2017]; the 2019 pick conveyance is included in "2019 first round draft pick from Philadelphia or Sacramento" on Boston Incoming

Anthony Davis is a stud. Dude is a game changer for any team in the league offensively and defensively. Freakish athleticism and length, as well as skill (he’s a damn good shooter for a guy his size)

Kyrie
X
Hayward
Davis
Horford

Is an incredible team

nikkas really asking if Rozier/Brown & Tatum is too much for AD a top 5 player

 

[e001]

Tatum would never get involved. Horford, Jaylen, maybe Rozier, and pretty much any first we have for AD and some filler not named Asik.

My nikka @Trill Russell

What's your take on this insurmountable conundrum?

 

[Reggie]

If they can get him without getting rid of Tatum or Brown then they should really think about pulling the trigger.

If they can get him without getting rid of Tatum and Brown then they should really think about pulling the trigger.

 

[LebronsJumper]

i know injuries can happen to anyone, but it seems like AD is injured every month

 

[$$$HotBoyRonald$$$]

Stay away from our AD

he not top 5 but yea. if they didnt get hayward its one thing but you cant have tatum or brown riding the bench as a 6th man for years. You can but i dont think they'd be happy.

tatum + rozier for davis is worth it.

 

[DoubleJ13]

Why is this still a thing?

Pelicans aren't trading Davis anytime soon & somehow this still comes up every couple weeks.

 

[Reggie]

Should have meant OR cause obviously they will have to get rid of one. But I don't see why they couldn't keep one of the two if they sweeten the deal with a first round pick or someone like Marcus Smart.

 

[CarltonJunior]

AD isnt worth all that. He's an amazing talent but he doesnt assert himself often and he gets hurt every other game.
