Like most NBA fans, I've been wondering what's going to happen with Davis. Since my team seems to have no chance of landing him (unless NO wants a couple expiring contracts who will also leave), I've been wondering about teams who could foil the Lakers/Celtics aspirations. The top one? Toronto.
Now, this could be really bad for my team, given that this year at least, you seem to be our only real competition in the East. But whatever. It'd be such a fascinating story. Do you guys think that this would work? http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y6uaxls2
I think VanFleet can be thrown into the trade starting January 16, and I'd probably also give up a first round pick (or 3). You might get some role players back from NO (Et'waun Moores and guys like that). What would be so fascinating is that since Davis has another year on his deal after this, it might convince Kawhi to stay - at least on a one year deal. You might become a mini-dynasty or they might both leave. But wouldn't it be worth it to have Davis & Kawhi for one season, and a legitimate chance at a championship or two?
Let me know your thoughts. I genuinely think this is better than the Lakers' offer (their assets are so overhyped because Los Angeles - trust me, I live here. The media is crazy). It's probably better than the Celtics non-Tatum offer too (although I think Tatum + Brown would put them ahead of you). If Siakam has a ceiling as high as they say, I honestly think this could work. What are your thoughts?
