If the Pelicans thought the Lakers had assets on par with/better than Boston they would've made a deal with them already. Keep in mind we have draft picks from other teams floating around too, so even if we agree the players are even Boston still has a better package to offer.

Regardless, I think Tatum has the most star potential out of anyone discussed, and it appears NOLA feels the same way. I'd say a Celtics-Pelicans deal is still unlikely, but the fact that it's a possibility has upped the price for the Lakers, who in turn have looked like shit by whining that they didn't get their way.

I know the premature confetti and 1-point Ben thing from last year still stings, but your hurt feelings are inching closer to a "Tatum sucks" agenda and I don't want you to embarrass yourself. I'm looking out for you shells!
