Do not want 1 year of AD. Only way I'd be okay is if they had an extension in place before the deal. Otherwise, pass.
1 year of Leonard worked for Toronto though. If they could get AD without giving up Tatum I'd be ok with it. AD with no supporting cast the celtics are no different than NO last year

He is LA bound after next season, according to a lot of media.Doing a move like that would be fine if they weren't about to get burnt by Irving leaving in a few weeks.
And don't forget, the allure of getting AD was to entice Kyrie to resign long term, and then have AD resign long term. Without Kyrie, why would AD sign an extension here to play with a bunch of young players that are not going to realistically compete for a title for a while? He could do that in New Orleans already.

Then why the heck are the Knicks his preferred destination? I wouldn't bet on the Lakers with grandpa Lebron being a perennial contender either.
You cannot have your cake (city of your choosing) and eat it too (contender). Most of the time it's either or. If he's adamant about being in NYC or LA, he has to live with the fact that he has to keep on building his own team instead of joining a contender.
But didn't Paul also say that no matter where AD's at next year that he will be testing free agency in 2020 regardless? So it's gonna be a risk for any team. And remember that: The Lakers will not waste another year of LBJ, so they are likely out for AD in 2020 if he's not being traded there.
My gut says that Ainge will do the trade for Davis and gamble big time like he did with Garnett (whose agent also said before the trade happened that KG didn't want no part of Boston). Danny thinks that a) the league is wide open with KD being out long term, b) Kyrie may not have incentive without KD to change teams and is inclined to stay if AD is here and c) even if Kyrie bolts, a team of AD, Horford, Hayward, Brown, (Capela), (Rozier) may be good enough to contend.
@pgm16: The media said the same thing about PG and several other players over the past years. They were only right with Lebron. Look, Ainge has been in the business for so long and knows NBA-divas. If he's trading for AD, I trust him that there is a decent chance to keep him long term.
Why would he do that
