If the Celtics do offer that trade where they give up Smart and Horford doesn't that clear enough cap space for them to sign another max free agent? Could it be all timing again - make the trade sign another FA then you can go over the cap to resign Kyrie or once the trade is complete does having Hayward and AD put them out of getting another max contract?
On a completely different note can you imagine if the Lakers had drafted Tatum instead of Ball - they probably wouldn't have dumped Russell and they would have Tatum/Russell to trade for AD right now.
