    Love AD, but happy to be moving on with a younger player, I think we got out just in time, the peak of his value

    yup, trading AD at the deadline was a must either way. the lebron/AD lakers weren't winning another title and the org needed to prepare for life post-lebron. no one actually thought it'd happen and that the return would be luka though

    i think had we gone play-in again, trading him in the offseason was highly likely, as was the possibility of lebron choosing to play somewhere else to contend for the last year or two of his career.


    but we had other plans.

    i didn't think the deadline was the time until i saw what happened, lol.

    If the Lakers got Mark Williams the way AR was playing that version of the Lakers would have gone deep in the playoffs

    This team is really good as well but the FO unwillingness to invest around AD handicapped them. Not really blaming them considering AD age and injury history but damn Williams, AD, Max, AR, Lebron, Rui, DFS, Gabe, Hayes is a hell of a rotation.

    If Nico didn't Nico I would be still pissed if they didn't make a move at the deadline to add another piece
