I saw this coming from a mile away. Tatum, Brown, Rozier all had the ball in their hands ALOT last year when Kyrie and Hayward went down. Of course they're gonna regress now. Between Kyrie and Hayward that's 26 shots a game everyone else isn't taking anymore.


The only thing that's down for Tatum is last year's insane 3-point shooting. But he's still shooting 37% on high volume. He's a better 3-point shooter than pretty much anyone our team (still in wait and see mode with KCP to see if he's just streaking). His numbers are up in every other aspect. It's true what they say about early-season narratives, they're basically impossible to shake.

And the Pels can probably convince themselves that Tatum would look even better having an offense built around him instead of being a supplementary guy. Hell, there's a chance they could finally get back the guy they traded away in '96. He definitely makes or breaks the Boston trade. If Ainge includes him, it's easily the best package no matter what we offer.

Ainge screwed up big time. He had the world by the balls last offseason. The first round picks, which all looked great on paper, are not worth as much as once thought (Kings, Grizz, Clips ALL playing better than expected). They came off a playoff run where Rozier and Brown were two of their best players in the playoffs. Both of them have struggled since and Rozier is restricted FA next year. If Magic decides that trading for AD after signing a FA is the path he wants, I believe we can put a stronger package together than the Celtics. I am not saying I am for or against it as we have numerous paths to get the team to the next level. I just do not want to jump the gun and make a trade this year. It is a GREAT time to be a Laker fan.


Their first round picks are much more valuable than any we can offer.


Of course they are better than our picks I still would take Ingram and Zo over a late lottery pick. but if any of the picks are top 5 it trumps our assets easily.

Of course but he is the guy they shouldn't trade away,.
If he is smart, he will pull a Riley ... who refused to include Wade in the Shaq trade. He basically offered us anything but Dwayne ... that is how you build a title team you keep your best young stud to partner with the incoming superstar.

Basically, if Boston offers Tatum they get AD.

If they don't offer Tatum, they still can offer a competitive package but it's less of a sure win over what the Lakers could offer.

Now, the question is whether it would be worth it to offer it all for AD? (I say yes but I understand the reservations against it). And with Boston in the mix, I'd say the deal for AD is inflated 25-33% as compared to today (when Boston is unable to trade for AD).

Agreed, but if memory serves, the only teams that could/would trade for Shaq were Dallas and Miami. Cuban refused to include Dirk in a trade and had little else of value, so Miami was basically bidding against themselves. The situation had become untenable with Shaq and ownership knew they were going to have to choose between him and Kobe anyway (and were going to choose Kobe).

AD is not forcing a trade yet and Pels would still prefer to keep him and Boston has a strong trade competitor in the Lakers, and that's before a lot of other potential teams throw their hat in the ring.

Come on man. This guy is an idiot. He looks for clicks. I saw one of his tweets a few weeks ago and he doesn't even know the CBA.

This is where Lebron via Klutch has to do some legwork. If RP knows Boston is close to sealing the trade, get the Lakers to offer as much as they can if only to get Boston's offer jacked up and denude themselves as much as possible.

I wouldn’t say complete idiot. He has some sources tbh.

Didn’t he nail the Markelle Fultz motorcycle accident injury?

Also, many people do not know the CBA. Doesn’t mean they don’t have sources (example: Stephen A.)

Look at how he tweets vs when he talks on Video. You’ll easily notice the contradictions

what is so special about Tatum? i never understood the hype.

give him the ball and he gets buckets with average defense and can play 3/4 position

and that he is 19year


what else i am missing?

lonzo's impact on game on both sides >>> Tatum

I think he's a really good prospect and player. His 19 playoff games showed me he has the mettle to be a major problem for years to come. He is a major trade asset.

I think we tend to overrate our own assets a bit, and to be fair, the national media has overrated Tatum too.

Tatum on the Pels sounds kinda great. Once off that rookie contract... that Mamba seed pays purple and gold dividends. Can’t fight fate.

As much as it pains me to praise a Celtics player I'm trying to be objective as much as possible too.

Celts can't have it both ways but you know Ainge is trying. In an ideal world they'd have to give up Tatum but Ainge is trying to get AD and keep Tatum.

According to WOJ he likely heard about the motorcycle incident on radio (Woj thinks Brandon has no sources).

Tall/long nice iso moves and a 3pt shot. Solid on defense. In everyone’s ideal scenario this type of rookie develops into a next big star...but there are so many levels before that, which are just as likely of possibilities. Basketball culture is really itching to find/peg young stars right now.. The last 5 years the draft has brought us fewer than ideal stars....
He has a chance but I wouldn’t bet on it

Yup. I think in his prime he can approximate PG offensively ; but not defensively. PG is a dog

Yeah. I don't see him as a lockdown artist or all-NBA level defender. But that type of player (i.e. 3rd team all NBA level).
