Please don't bash me.

Yeah it's 99% UNLIKELY. But I'm guessing if the Pelicans realize the AD-Cousins duo isn't working and they are mediocre next season, and AD gets a little frustrated, maybe then Ainge can swoop in with his treasure chest and stashes and make a legit run for AD.

Just thought I'd post this here and see what people think.

(Runs away before the incoming "FAKE NEWS" and pitchfork folks show up regarding this "impossible scenario")

Chris Forsberg at ESPN brought up the same idea. Its Recurring theme in some articles.

In The Onion or the Borowitz report?

This is actually fake news. The report they cite is Mannix saying that Davis is NOT available.

Yeah it is but its circulating around other sites too. Like people mention it even if brief.

I did acknowledge its 99% unlikely so don't blame me for this Fake News

It's irresponsible to circulate this, because it is entirely untrue. The score packages alerts in the most eye-grabbing, misleading way possible. This really isn't fair to people who don't know any better.

Lol. If so, Danny is senile.

Anthony Davis is the definition of untouchable.

 It would make 100x more sense to trade for Cousins, if that duo isn't working. The price would be much lower and New Orleans could easily write off the experiment. Trading Davis would have to align with "highest price paid ever".

Anthony Davis is the definition of untouchable.

Best asset in the league.  As untouchable as any one. But I cannot imagine N.O. saying no to:

'17 #3 + BKN '18, LA '18/SAC '19 + whoever they desire among Bradley/Crowder/Smart. 

Declining that offer seems unfathomable.  While he's no Justice Winslow, I can see Ainge making an offer that outrageous for AD.

We would likely add Jaylen and Zizic into that deal, and we have other future 1st rounders to add too. It's a great offer for the Pelicans.

[TheBigTicket23]

I throw our best picks and more on the table for AD.

Dealbreaker is Jaylen Brown, need to keep some good young players.

#3 + BKN'18 + LAK/SAC pick + Zeller + Bradley or Smart or Crowder, whomever they want... Then go after Hayward who really you should sign in Boston if this happens.

[Kuberski33]

I'm guessing one of those extra #1's (not the likely lottery ones) and maybe Crowder or Rozier get you Boogie.

Pipedream...

Ain't happening though...

Mark my words..theyd ratherlose him in FA than trade him.

[Eja117]

I think it's worth the phone call. I have doubts the call gets very far.

Maybe send Horford and stuff
