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

Hey...why not start one of these?

 

LOL wait till @KareemtheGreat33 shows up and calls you jinx boy.

 

Bought a new home this summer...but it's the where that is news-worthy.

 

Yeah that seems like a main home, family move in that people do not move to Westlake Village as a second home. You have a 2nd home in LA it's in Bel Air, Brentwood or even Malibu if you want the beach. But Westlake is a bit secluded, they have a 0 murder rate and 0.24 robbery rate. Safe place to raise kids. That place looks to be worth twice that amount. At least the same size digs in Hidden Hills, not far away at all would be double.

 

Where did Anthony Davis previously live before buying this house?

 

Hmmm... we'll see about vash, but if therealdeal or you started a premature thread, well you know what happened over the years

 

Bought his Louisiana home in 2013 for 1.5m.



@KareemtheGreat33 and I know that even tho LT is our guy, his hijinx can't be touched. In fact, I'm hoping LT doubts the validity of this thread and the possibility of AD to LA...cause it'll definitely improve the odds then.

Also based off estimations, he is first eligible for a supermax extension the summer of 2019 that would kick in for the following year (ie 2020/21 season)...so him deciding to stay in NO as a Designated Max Player would lead to these annual payouts:

2020/21 41.3m
2021/22 44.6m
2022/23 48.2m
2023/24 52m
2024/25 56.2m
= 5yrs 242.3m

If he forces a trade and then the new team extends him using his bird rights:

2020/21 35.4
2021/22 38.2m
2022/23 41.3m
2023/24 44.6m
2024/25 48.2m
= 5yrs 207.6m

So we're taking about a 34.7m difference over 5 years. As we've seen with the supermax, Paula and Kawhi didn't really want any part of it, while Sac traded Boogie to avoid it.

Also here are comments AD made with Rachel in February of this year:

These comments were based off of KG's advice for Bron before his "decision" to take his talents to Miami and win his first chip as part of a superteam.

 

good lord....salaries can hit 50mill/yr now?

 

He’s gifable, I’m in.

 

For real. Im waiting for that asteroid to hit the earth and a "restart".

 

50 million for 82 games lol

When the media contracts expire, I have to think this salary bubble is going to pop. It can't keep going up like this. Can it?

Too many people are moving away from traditional revenue generating sources. Without the money coming in, the media contracts can't be so outrageous. When that happens, I fully expect a massive work stoppage to occur. CBA's are both good and bad, but they better time one to end the same year as the current crazy media contracts, or things could get ugly.

 

while I can agree with part of that, if they cannot find a way to capture the revenue streams, it doesn't make a difference

I stream most of the games since I don't have cable and live outside of the local market. They get zero from me. I don't buy merchandise, and going to a game is rare. The new generation is all about free entertainment, and arena prices are flat out absurd right now.

While top guys are for sure capped, most of the players are overpaid for their talents. ESPN basically admitted that with their revenue drop in combination with the huge media rights contracts they gave out forced them into mass layoffs. They are the big guys who gave out the biggest contracts.

If they can't turn it around, and if there is less competition for the next contracts, the prices won't be as high. Billion dollar contracts are no joke.

Luckily, none of this is my problem. But 50 million to play a kids game is a dream come true for those guys I'm sure. In one year? That's sooooooo much more than most top level executives/professionals will sniff in their entire lifetime, so yes, It can be difficult to relate and or sympathize. I fully expect the next media contract to go down. ESPN has lost major market share. Are others making it up? I sense it's moving online into an environment where they don't seem to be able to monetize it or regulate it to the same degree cable used to pay them.

 

AD is the one guy I'm comfortable trading a young piece or two to get. Lets hope the lost of Boogie and Rondo hurts them more than the addition of Elfrid Payton and Randle. They miss the playoffs and he wants out.

 

You know a thread has officially arrived when sirron drops them memes in it!



Squint hard enough and you can see Bron Klutchin' onto another 1 of his family members soon enough.
