Apparently, there's a quirk in the CBA (Kyrie being on a supermax deal) that disallows the CELTICS from trading for AD before the Feb. 7 trade deadline ......... not unless the CELTICS include Kyrie in a trade for AD - which isn't happening.
So, sa offseason pa daw pwede mag engage nang trade for AD ang CELTICS.
Bottomline, it's indeed the LAKERS who have the best chance before the deadline.
The saving grace for non-LAKERS fans, the PELICANS (so far) have no intention of trading away AD before the deadline ............ the best trade packages almost always turns up in the offseason.
=================================================================================
Other NBA teams are in their war rooms right now, trying to come up with their own trade proposals for AD.
IMO, kung aalis lang din si AD, he should go to the EAST ............ it will somehow help fix the godawful league parity.
Besides, the RAPTORS, BUCKS & CELTICS all have realistic championship windows .......... it's still far easier to win in the EAST than the WEST.
