It's easy, and only takes a few moments.IIRC if he resigns with a team, in this case the team that trades for him he can earn more in terms of a max contract... Bird rights????He doesn't care, nor should he. No matter where he is this year, it's one year than then free agency.
Because of social media, where you play is overrated. If this wasn’t the case, all these free agents would have signed with the Lakers already.For the people who don’t want AD, what would you do in his place? Genuinely curious. Boston isn’t exactly a marquee spot for superstars. At least when it comes to the prima donnas in the NBA.

what would you do if he does?There’s no guarantee that he will. I don’t care what his agent says.
Paul George was a “lock” to bolt to the lakers too. People can change their minds.
what would you do if he does?
move forward with the kids. and explore other trades and free agents in the future. AD isn't Paul George. they are two different people. ainge will figure it out.Blow it up & rebuild through the draft + FA. You never answered my question earlier btw.
With Kyrie out of the way, I think it will be a much more focused team going forward. Hayward will have had the extra year after his injury. I'd expect to see the team that came within an eyelash of the finals last year only better.For the people who don’t want AD, what would you do in his place? Genuinely curious.

The Memphis pick isn't likely to be worth much. And the only pick the Cs have that would even remotely interest anyone is 14. And 4 is a LOT more interesting than 14.
im just afraid that when Danny is focused on something, he sees it through. he has been wanting AD for a long time. It will set this team back a while if he trades for AD and then AD walks the following year. We would be right back to square one before we had all these draft picksCeltics trading for him would be odd, for sure. And a gamble.
i think Tatum was limited under Kyries offense/leadership. Ill give Tatum another year without Kyrie to see where he is in development.No they don’t. Pre blood clot, Ingram is better than Tatum and has more upside. Looks like he’ll be okay after the operation. Kuzma is also better than Tatum and has more upside. They have the 4th pick.
And most importantly because AD wants to go to LA.
for some reason i read your post in Jim Ross' (wrasslin' announcer) voiceMy goodness.
Thats exactly how I said it when I typed it.for some reason i read your post in Jim Ross' (wrasslin' announcer) voice
Agree. The way he swung the KG deal was via a sign n trade (I think...or maybe they did the deal shortly after he was traded)im just afraid that when Danny is focused on something, he sees it through. he has been wanting AD for a long time.

Kyrie is already signed in Brooklyn in all but name and AD has done everything short of renting out the Goodyear blimp to fly over NE announcing "I WILL NOT RESIGN WITH BOSTON!" but by all mean, let's give them everything we've got. Seems legit.
Which is what you should do if you lose Kyrie and don’t get ADBlow it up & rebuild through the draft + FA. You never answered my question earlier btw.
