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

Stated as fact?

 

AD’s mentality and health is the line that wrapped everything together. More so now when you got rid of the two knots f***ing up the wrapping.

Lebron is injured because you had to over use him. Because AD wasn’t available for almost 30 games this year. And so on and so on….

There is no value for anyone in this league to be great. To be killers. This current climate is all about feeling good and being happy with what you have and not going above and beyond. And if you do, you are some goody to shoes.

 

i think we should also wait and see what the injury is and how long he's out before freaking out.

let's see if our b squad can surprise okc in the interim.

 

You’re not saying AD wasn’t busting his a** both sides of the ball against all odds against a top team last night?

 

i think AD's mind gets affected when he gets injured, and it takes him a while to get back into things. not sure what to do, though. i'm sure he, lebron, and rob will sit down and have a pretty serious chat about it this summer, though. i could see them doing what i want (go for it one more time with this new roster) or totally exploding it and sending each to a team closer to contention.

but remember if we do the latter--we don't own our pick in one of the next two years, so it is NOT in our best interest to bottom out.

 

This does suck and it lets some steam out of the boiler but the players we have play hard. We need to somehow pull this game out and regroup. Our situation might look a whole lot better by Friday.

 

3 seasons straight..same script with a bunch of different supporting actors.

 

I'm not opposed to trading him, but what's the market? I legitimately have no idea how the league sees him as an asset. I don't want picks or to fully rebuild.

I don't think we'll get close to market value. I don't want picks. If you can get the following, then count me in:
Antetokounmpo, Joker, Luka, Tatum, Ja, Dame, Edwards, Mitchell

I'd take the following if stuff was attached:
Butler, DeRozan, Brown, Siakam, Bam, Beal.

KAT, Embiid, SGA, LaVine are never healthy so I didn't consider them.

Outside of those, no.

 

for one or two games. Not a season.

 

Yeah, I'm not interested in that. We nearly spent a decade rebuilding. I'm good. I'll even include two firsts with him and swaps if it gets me some of those guys. But I'm not going backwards.

Or if it's for one of my players in the "and stuff" list, then sure let's see what additional picks or players round that out into an interesting package.

I agree, you're not. But those 8 players above are who I'd listen to for AD. I'll take what he can give us instead of selling for pennies on the dollar.



To be clear, I do not want to build around AD nor do I think he can carry this team when Bron retires/leaves; but until then I'd rather duct tape him together unless it's for a big time deal.

 

Yeah WTF, and then come out and admit you “chose” that way? How f***** dumb!

 

If it was planned, then why is there testing required to return? Who with the team told TNT that he was going to play in back to backs going forward? Something is fishy.
