Anthony Davis Discussion: Only Player On Both All NBA + All Def

Wizards aren't trading Beal. They've made it abundantly clear they have ZERO interest in even entertaining such a notion. It would take both of those guys and a guaranteed top 3 pick, which they can't get from Boston. And even then they're probably not taking the deal, but they won't laugh you off the phone.

 

it would make it less painful, pels can build around zion instead

 

Hey Towne, Zion will ask for a trade when his rookie contract is up, just like other stars who played for your franchise

 

Say he makes the trade for AD, it'll be before free agency starts. He can then come at Irving and say he got rid of the two kids who wanted control of the team and got the best pf in the game and it's completely his team now. In case y'all haven't noticed, AD doesn't want any part of being the 'man' on a team, he's not an alpha.

Irving, Rozier, an improved Hayward, AD and Horford is a pretty damn good starting 5. Or he can sit back, do nothing and watch us trade AD to the Knicks, then have KD and almost certainly Irving follow him to NY to create another super team in his conference that he will have to deal with. So ask yourself, what gamble is more likely???

 

I'm not here to throw stones, but if you wanna go that route that's fine, but y'all have been the biggest s***e show in the NBA for over a half decade now, most losses in the entire NBA over the last 6 years if I'm not mistaken. And with news that Jeannies wine drinking bff is actually running the show, you wanna go there???

 

16 rings b****

 

all that said la still did something in last decade your pelicants can only fantasize bout

 

“I’m not here to throw stones”

*Literally joins the forum just to talk crap on our players*

 

First, Rozier has to agree on a s&t, otherwise he signs the QO and has a de facto no trade clause and will do that to become a UFA next summer. If Boston matches the offer Rozier cannot be traded for 3 months.

Second, AD has the 2020 free agency leverage. If he doesn't want the cbags, he's out and that obviously means Boston's package will be limited on a potential rental. Same with the Knicks if AD really wants to honor those Klutch ties and play with Bron.

Third, Memphis pick is decent but goes unprotected in 2021 (top 6 protected next summer)...so Ja and Connely (or whoever he's traded for) will see if they can dead its value.

Lastly, Zion, just like AD doesn't want to be on NO s*** team haha

Also don't further feed the troll... although it's a whole lot more fun to.

 

Why don't you read, he made the first insult. I was not insulting your players earlier, just giving you insight from a Pels fan. I'd much prefer keeping Ad and pairing him with Zion and hope it happens. Would be awesome to see.

 

That'd be the hope; but doesn't AD want out of that cesspool of an organization they call NO?

I mean: admittedly, our Lakers are a cesspool, but it is still Los Angeles....you know?

 

That sh*t team destroyed the Blazers last year with Jrue absolutely owning Dame, and last I checked they in the WCF while Lebron sat home all playoffs.

And all the more reason to trade Ad to NY and use the pick to draft his college buddy to run with him and 'ease the pain' lol

 

That's assuming a lot.
-Kyrie wants to go. Whether it's LA or NY, he wants out of Boston.
-Rozier wants to go if Kyrie and Hayward stay. He's restricted, you're right. In your scenario of the above roster, teams will offer him more than they afford to lock themselves into.
- Gordon? You're touting an 11 PPG guy who plays no D (40th in the post season, that's worse than stationary Felton).
- Horford wants more long term security. Is he worth $30m? If they aren't willing to pony up a longer deal, he can bolt for a team that will. Or if he sees the ship sinking with everyone leaving, he can run for the hills too.

It's much more likely the C Bags crumble and are lotto dwellers than building anything this summer.

 

Bruh, Zion don't want you haha



"I don't know where I'm going to be"....AFTER the Pels got the #1 pick.

 

Yeah, Zion and AD (and Randle) together would be very fun to watch. Sounds like AD still wants to leave though.

And so I do appreciate the genuine insight from a Pels fan regarding potential trade scenarios.

But I also genuinely think your insight is wrong, and I hope for your sake that David Griffin doesn’t share those opinions. Yes, the 3 pick has much more value than the 4 pick. But you are underrating Ingram, Lonzo, and Kuzma, and overrating the young guys that the Knicks and C Bags have. I think it would be a mistake for you guys to pass on Ingram/4 for Knox and RJ, for example.

Really feels to me like Pelicans fans have an emotional bias in these trade talks because you perceive the Lakers/Lebron as manipulating your star into wanting to leave, when the reality is that your franchise has not really ever done anything to make themselves an appealing destination.

 

What gives a Pelicans fan of all fans to come and try to troll a Lakers forum? Just mentioning that you’re a Pelicans fan is bad enough as it is, let alone your franchise has ZERO identity and your team was so bad, that no one wanted to buy the team and had to be saved by the commissioner by gifting you AD, but you guys still managed to screw that up.

Give Zion a couple years before he demands a trade from that black hole of a franchise.
