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

Here's hoping David Griffin isn't an idiot too.

Oh also...Zion has until May 29th to pull out of the draft. LOL

 

It wasn't their previous FO who blocked the trade. It was the owners...

 

yep n they havent changed lol

 

My first choice for a user name was kobehasalittleweenie, but I was pretty sure the mods would bounce that. So, racking my brain for inspiration, I went to take a dump, and there on the counter were some pill bottles.

 

ROTFL

 

I want to believe that they didn't just hire Griffin to then neuter his control/moves. And I also believe that Griffin will be smart about the AD situation.

So who's in the running: Lakers, Knicks and Boston.

Boston might as well be out of the running but of course the media will continue running with the god players they have and their basket full of picks. Kyrie might as well be gone already, Hayward is still a shell of his former self, those picks are late first rounders in a weak draft and Tatum is their last true building piece.

Knicks, well they do have an interesting case here. Theres the POTENTIAL of KD and or Kyrie joining AD, New York is a huge market and AD has stated before he's okay with staying there. But NOP already has Zion, they didn't need to trade AD to get Zion. Knicks have the 3rd pick in a 3 player draft but then what else. Mitchell Robinson is a very nice prospect (I like the pairing with Zion if I'm being honest), Knox seems a little redundant to Zion and Frank Ntilikina is as broken as Lonzo. DSJ not bad, but is he really better than any of the Lakers' offering?

Lakers, we're still able to put together the best package of players (issue is how many or all are included). The 4th pick helps a ton, instead of the 11th-14th pick being a throw in, the pick can be one of the main pieces. Ball is still a decent project and has a full summer to get back into gear, plus all signs are pointing to him distancing himself from his dad and BBB. Ingram's health scare seems less scary than initial thoughts and Griffin really likes him. Kuz, Hart and any other picks? Gun to head, I'd offer them all. I'm not confident in the FO to successfully capitalize on the young core post Lebron so give me all the star power right now, that'll balance out the incompetency.

 

I honestly feel the Pels have a Zion problem. Quickest way to fix it is make him comfortable.

Suns: Ball in, 6th/JoshJax out
Boston: Jrue in, Ky/14th pick out
Knicks: 4th/6th/Ky/14th in, 3rd out
Pels: 3rd(Barrett)/JoshJax/BI/Hart/Moe/2 future LA 1sts in, AD/Jrue out
Lakers: AD in, Zo/BI/Hart/Moe/4th/2 future 1sts out

We keep Kuz through all of it (cuz he's the Hand of the Kang)...



...and add AD with still a max slot open in free agency.

The cbags save face with Ky threatening to leave anyways. Plus Jrue/Smart/Horford still make a formidable defensive team.

The Knicks still have the extra cap to absorb two top picks (4th/6th) and still offer full maxes to KD and eventually Ky (via opt in & trade to retain his bird rights).

The Suns address their PG problem and get rid of their JoshJax problem.

Pels get their Duke trinity in BI/RJ/Zion and can help put Zion more at peace in accepting his new home.

Hahaha...but they call Kob the Mamba for a reason. MambaMentality is thinking a"head"

 

Early on it was Zion and RJ Barrett and then Ja snuck in there.

 

lakers get #2, its a 1 player draft....lakers get #1, weak draft lol

 

Wow.

 

Yeah but that avatar of yours was confusing the issue to that point. And who would choose to be @LaVarBallsDad if they had a lot going on? Still the guy popped in here not to talk Lakers in a Lakers interested at least way.

 

if the refs had called PI on the rams in the NFC title game AD would have probably already been a laker

just let that ridiculousness sink in

 

considering the embarrasement Rams displayed during the SB, maybe it would've been better had Saints made it.

 

Lol Brian Windhorst was just on the jump saying that the pelicans have no intentions of trading A.D. to the lakers

 

Man, I really don't want us to go through another round of seemingly begging the Hornets to do a trade. We've given the ugly kid too much attention and its gone to their head. Time to move on to other targets.
