Anthony Davis Discussion: Thanks For The Ring AD!!!

I’m in shock and disbelief. Thought AD would have his 3 retired in the rafters. Speechless.

 

I wanted luka as a laker but not like this, called ad soft but cant deny his impact on defense, so now we have scruby hayes, kliber n 2 gleague bigs...we ain't winning s***

 

What I'm thinking

 

I can’t fault the management, you jump at a chance to get a generational MVP calibre player.

Even if it costs you a generational defender.

 

Hilarious Mr glass empty. I wanted Luka but not like this? I called AD soft but now can’t deny his impact?

 

Yes he is soft, cant be called aoft n good on defense?

 

Thank you for everything AD, most underappreciated Laker EVER. I understand why the Lakers dod this trade, but my favorite NBA player just left my favorite team. Hard to feel very good about it.

I will probably root for the Mavs now in the POs once the Lakers are eliminated.

 

Thanks AD. Always, always wanted him as a Laker, and we got it. Amazing player and teammate.

AD will be 32 in March. Bigs break down faster. We got a better overall player who is 6 years younger than AD. No 5-7 years of picks, swaps, etc. This is a dream trade.

 

Definitely gonna miss AD. Never got the full credit he deserved IMO.

 

Abeer said it well, AD is probably the best defensive big since Hakeem with his ability to man the paint, switch out onto a guard, smother them and recover to the paint if there is a pass back to the big. He erased lots of our perimeter defensive woes for years. I’m glad we got that incredible quarter just recently where he went 21/11.

It’s laughable that so many people are saying we got Luka for a steal. We gave up an All NBA DPOY candidate that can drop 30 on any night and a young break out 3&D wing who has been excellent on defence. For a team that wants to compete now, Dallas has a shot at the ring this year if things fall their way.

 

Outside of only one pick it’s not the most lopsided deal in the world, just think outside of this season alone it will benefit us more, think players will want to come and join Prime Doncic over an aging AD.

It’s a shame we had to lose Christie.

 

Thank you AD for everything. Going to miss him he is a truly special player on both ends and you only trade him for a great generational player like Luka.

 

Just like I can't process Luka being traded here, I still cannot picture AD elsewhere.
