I will answer #3 for you
- Pelicans had ALL leverage
- Pelicans best offers WILL come this summer
- Lakers had high bar in negotiations which they CANNOT meet now

ADs value is at the highest it possibly could be right now. Demps is squandering his chance to get the farm for him.
Boston is probably out at this point considering what has come out from AD and his dad about not resigning or wanting to play there, Ainge is too smart to take that risk.
I see Toronto as a real player but they probably won't mortgage the team to get him.
Nobody is going to offer anything close to what the Lakers have at this point and his value declines by the day.
