The more I dwell on it, the more I want Donovan to stay, but if he’s putting a gun to our head privately and asking for a trade, the only reason Danny should field calls from Phoenix or Brooklyn is to force the Knicks to panic and give us the farm.
They obviously have the best draft pick package amongst the rumored Donovan suitors by far and I’d be willing to bet that Ainge wouldn’t pull the trigger until the Knicks relent and give us RJ. That kid probably has a higher ceiling than Donovan and can already give us 20/6/3 each night.
Getting RJ and those picks would be a ****ing coup. It would probably be the best set up for a tank that we’ve ever seen.
