Anthony Davis had no interest in playing a single game for the Boston Celtics, whether that was a negotiating tactic to end up with the Los Angeles Lakers or not.

The Celtics still had interest in gambling on Davis in hopes they could convince him to re-sign in 2020.

The Celtics were open to discussing Jayson Tatum and the future first round pick they are owed from the Memphis Grizzlies, but not in the same offer.

Ownership of the New Orleans Pelicans believed for months that a mega offer would eventually arrive from the Celtics.
