Have we thought about what the fallout's going to be if the Celtics don't get him? The talk for years was this masterplan Ainge had, funny enough there was never any tampering investigations for that since it involved a player on another team and all that. They passed on the chance to trade for PG to keep chips for Davis, didn't entertain trading for Kawhi, apparently the Kyrie trade was done in part to lure Davis since they're friends. Hayward snapped his leg and is a bad contract. Horford is on a player option for next season, he and Gordon take up $62.8 mil of the cap if he doesn't opt out. Morris is a FA and will look for money, while the Knicks just cleared over 70 mil in cap to target Kyrie and someone else.
They put everything into the Davis sweepstakes and might not get the chance to make an offer.
