And some talk show had two people arguing if the credit of this Davis deal goes to Pelinka or Rich Paul.

Report: Celtics' Al Horford to become unrestricted free agent
From NBA Twitter and media reports
Another one of the Boston Celtics' top in-house free agents appears set to not opt into his deal as well.
Center Al Horford is reportedly not exercising the $30.1 million option on his contract for 2019-20, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, and will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Less than a week ago, Celtics star guard Kyrie Irving decided to not opt into his deal for next season as well.
Boston Celtics center Al Horford will not exercise the $30.1M option on his 2019-20 contract and become an unrestricted free agent, league sources tell ESPN. Horford and the Celtics both have interest in working toward a new deal in July, sources tell ESPN.
Wojnarowski reports Horford and the Celtics have interest in working toward a new deal in July. Additionally, his agreeing to a new deal would help Boston's salary cap flexibility. Team president Danny Ainge said in early June that he was hoping to discuss restructuring the All-Star big man's contract, a move he called a priority this summer.
A five-time All-Star, Horford averaged 13.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 blocks per game last season for the Celtics, appearing and starting in 68 games. Overall, the former No. 3 pick in the 2007 draft has averaged 14.1 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 3.2 apg and 1.2 bpg in his career.
There is no moral lesson he but rather $100's of millions of dollars in contracts, giving up future draft choices to cow tow to a 35 yo self proclaimed monarch who Jeannie continues to feel he will lead them to the finish line now.All they have is now because when the King is gone the others will jump ship as free agents and they will again be mired in the bottom of the west with no draft choices to improve the team.
Seeing that groin injury last year tells me father time is creeping up on this guy and he is vulnerable. Groin injuries can become recurrent
The one kicker that I read yesterday that regardless of Davis going to the Lakers he WILL enter free agency to test the market. The only way apparently he won't is to see what players the Lakers pay a fortune for in order to make the Lakers a "now" contender.
One of these acquisitions could become the face of the Lakers once James is finally gone yet AD won't assume that role as he would lock himself into the same fate as he was in while playing for the Pets, should he re-sign a lock term Lakers contract
Curious to see what happens with the Clippers in free agency, too. They could come up empty handed with three of the top free agents either injured or holding an NBA championship trophy with his current team.
Phil
the reality is that the credit goes to neither. It goes to that manipulator who calls himself King
I thought Horford was opting out to get a new, longer term deal with the Celtics.
Pretty tough to give a 33 year old player an expensive long term deal.
Truth is there are a lot of teams with a lot of money to spend in free agency this year so some deals will be made that don't make sense.
And now it's Chris Paul who reportedly wants to be traded....

We’ll see who wants that contract. That team looks to implode.
Raise your hand if you’re sick of disgruntled stars.
I always liked Ibaka, especially back in his Thunder years4-year $159m contract, of which 1 yr just passed. Aging and less and less effective.
I raise my hand.
And I have high high respect for one Serge Ibaka. Gasol came in and dislodged him from the starter position. He would be playing like 9 minutes a game and score a few points for several games. But he never said a word, and when the playoffs came and his number was called, he performed as well as he could have, scoring, blocking and rebounding, like nothing happened. A super pro if I ever saw one. He has a big salary but that never got into his head. Hats off.
