    List of AD's injuries.

    Only things you should worry about are knee and back injuries.

    Seems that the Pelicans leverage has gotten weaker since KD went down, especially considering the Knicks hesitancy. They are likely facing a Lakers offer or a trade deadline offer from any team.

    If I’m the Lakers now, I would work an offer starting from the position of what my trade deadline offer would have been and just fatten that up enough to where Griffin could save face. I wouldn’t fleece them because that would be bad for future business, but he is in a tougher spot now so he’s going to have to operate with us knowing that fact. I’m sure Klutch and Griffin will figure that out.

    Knicks were never an option. That was all leverage. Lakers are the only team Anthony Davis is coming to. No one has an all-star, a tone of draft picks and an almost all-star. That's why there will be a 3rd team to facilitate this. No one has any leverage anywhere. Everyone will live in the reality that they will have to give up stuff to do what they need to do.

    A few teams have "fleeced" the lakers and the teams that haven't have publicly come out and said they enjoy watching the lakers do bad deals. I say get the best deal for the lakers possible. Period.

    You get ONE of Ingram or Lonzo, #4, Kuzma, Hart, 2021 protected 1st. That’s very fair considering the leverage we have.

    i don't think we have THAT much leverage. this is how we lost PG, missed the playoffs, and became a laughing stock.

    Yeah, that won't get it done. Realistically I see us moving BI (Pelicans), Zo (third team), #4 and a future pick. That's fair for all parties. Keep Kuzma and Hart as we need cheap contract guys and they both have the right mentality and are fan faves. If they want another young guy throw in Wagner or Bonga instead.

    lost pg cause they low balled the s*** out of indy n pissed them off, this isnt the case here, #4, zo, kuz or bi and multiple future 1st is more than fair considering the circumstances

    According to Mr Rambis, our deal for PG was all but done, then the league said no-no, not wanting the Lakers to be rewarded for tampering. We didn’t miss out because we low balled them. Had we thrown in #2, would the league have let the trade happen? Maybe, maybe not.

    Maybe this is conspiracy nonsense and we overplayed our hand with PG. in this case with AD, I think the offer I mentioned is really fair...truthfully, considering what other unhappy superstars have fetched.

    Oladipo and Sabonis brought in PG. AD is a more valuable asset than PG, but not by miles. Oladipo was a nice player in Indy, but nothing amazing. Sabonis is a nice young prospect. I think Ingram, kuz, 4, future first for AD is comparable if not more fair than oladipo and Sabonis for PG.
