There is no way Brown and picks gets AD. Brown only has one year before he becomes a restricted free agent. Boston would love to keep Tatum, but I just dont see it happening at all. The Lakers could send 2 or 3 first rounders plus two of Lonzo, Kuzma and Ingram. That trade trumps Boston's offer of Brown and a bunch of non-top ten picks.Boston doesn't want to include Tatum though... they want to do it with Brown. If it is Boston's draft picks and Brown plus salary that lines up well with LA's potential Ingram and picks offer. As we know Ainge won't pay one penny more than he has to. I think they want to keep Irving, Tatum and get AD.
They should move Rozier for another pick as another liquid asset to throw in the deal. It sounds like first rounders are hard to come by in the trade market right now. .
At the end of the day, I still hold to my prediction that the Lakers trade for AD at the deadline. The Pelicans are plumetting right now. AD's reps already said its not all about money so NOLA waiting for the extension is kind of a moot point. AD is represented by LeBron's guy. The Lakers could be really aggressive and just do it even if they trade all their young guys. They could be poised to add to LBJ and AD this summer too.
