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

They had Fox double teaming him without the ball. When they tried to force it into him he was triple teamed and had to swing the ball.

It's tough to run your offense through a big man with no shooter the opposition respects.

 

not even 3s, opposing team fears no one on this team except Bron

 

They should seriously consider trading him.

We're going nowhere.

 

Yeah... And when he was double teamed, he swang it and did what? Nothing. He didn't reposition himself. He didn't come to the middle to perhaps shift the D a little. He just took it and stayed in the post, doing nothing. 40mil well-spent.

It's never the second banana fault.

 

They could make a deal for Russ.

I just think we need to start looking ahead and gathering assets.

Am I confident that Rob will make the best deal out there? Nope. But it is what it is....

 

Yeah. That's true too.

 

But they could make a deal. There's been a few different deals reported we all know about.

Whatever, though. That's for another thread.

On topic, AD wasn't the issue tonight. I can totally see him asking out...

 

ding ding ding

 

i think it's time. i do think lebron's injury timing was just horrible, as these are games we could get, and sometimes you just need a couple wins to get out of a hole. but everybody's lost faith already, you can see it. hell, ham lost faith two games ago.

 

I'm not looking to trade AD but could we really suck more? I thought we had the suck o meter pretty much sprung. If we just drew straws and threw out random line ups I'm not sure we could suck more. I would only trade AD for one reason. That would be to make a contender almost unbeatable so Boston doesn't win #18 cause it don't look like we are winning it for awhile...lol.

 

AD has supporters including me. I think fans just want the team to pick a direction and some feel like if we’re going to stink then might as well blow it up and get something for him before he walks.

I’ve been arguing that we should build up the best team we can around him and LeBron for awhile now so my preference remains keeping him.

but I won’t act like I don’t get the frustration and trade talk out there.

 

All that said. Don’t feel like last night was on him.

 

i didn't see the game. his stat line looks good, and the screenshots and write ups i've seen seem to explain pretty well why he's not able to just take over the game like people want. if you could just sit two people in giannis's lap and the other three in the paint and not pay, you'd get similar results.

i'm open to trading AD at this point, too, but it would be among the last options, maybe THE last option.

the team's ineptitude has only strengthened my stance against moving future picks, though. just don't. not only will we want them for better trade opportunities, we might very well be very bad and need those lotto tickets.
