    It doesn’t make sense to me for a few reasons...

    - Tatum - Ha. Everyone knows Kyrie is going to NYC. Isn’t it a bit odd both Kyrie/KD got super defensive in the media at the same time when the Knicks got cap space? The secret is getting out and spreading. Kyrie won’t be a C bag next year. Which means no Tatum in the deal for an AD rental.

    - Smart - Solid player. Fear is he has some Lance Stephenson after the Pacers sent him packing where his game falls apart without that system. Still would take him though. I like him.

    - Williams - The headcase that can’t make it too meetings on time. Nah.

    - Horford - 30 million player option that he would have to opt in to get traded to the Pelicans. At 33 he can still pull another 2-3 contract. I don’t see him opting in for this.

    - Up to 3 first round picks - We’ve been over this. These are nothing special and have to be made prior to the trade. Yea not moving the needle.

    Also this deal would be dumping 50 million on the Pelicans to get 27 back in AD. Sorry but no.

    I dont blame magic/rob for trying to trade for AD but I do believe they did get played and hard and anybody who believe thats garmbardo guys tweet is nuts. You really think Ainge is going to commit to any offers to Pelicans? Dude is not stupid, a lot can change between now and July, Ainge doesn't look like an idiot to me and only idiot would commit to anything right now.

    I’ve heard conflicting info on who actually leaked the demand.

    Even if Rich Paul did I don’t think that’s any different from any other time a player has wanted to be traded other than we are involved.

    And don’t get me wrong, I agree that the public nature of this hadn’t helped. But I don’t think the levels it’s gone to here is on us.

    I don’t think this could have gone any worse for us. We are being trolled by NO. The media is talking trash and Lebron has alienated most of the team. The perfect trifecta.

    Lavar on Skip and Shannon right now. But surprisingly he’s not that bad. Just promoting BBB waters and saying Lonzo is better than LeBron

    C bags fans/NBA media main argument is both Tatum and Brown shined in the playoffs and contributes to a team winning games while Lakers kids didn't make it and don't.

    They are not wrong ... but the Least level , C bags building a real team and having an elite coach are part of the explanation.

    Let's be honest we have been a very crappy organization for a while and our young "already flawed" talent is paying the price .

    I agree with you that Tatum is overrated though

    pels hold onto him in hopes of acquiring tatum in the summer
    kyrie leaves boston-ainge sees no point in trading for AD
    pels forced to trade AD to LA for a lesser offer

    that's our best scase scenario

    It is the best offer they’ll get. I’ve said it multiple times, look what teams got for Chris Paul, Paul George, Kyrie, Kawhi, Butler, you don’t get anything close to equal value. Our offer of an entire young core, 2 firsts and taking back a bad contract is one of the best offers I’ve seen for a star in forever. The Pelicans will regret it when they take a lesser offer in July or he walks in free agency, but oh well. I just hope in the meantime we’re looking at other trades to try and salvage the season, Bullock was a nice pickup but he doesn’t save us, we need some more moves like that.

    Or we get him outright in 2020. AD will remember we were the only ones who respected him with an over the top offer.

    I would honestly love it if:

    - Kyrie left for nothing.
    - NY got the number 3 pick.
    - NOP got left with nothing.

    All at once, knowing that there own stupidity cost them this.

    Let me translate for you: I have no Lakers sources so because I’m not getting any information, I’m gonna state the obvious and spin it into them not talking. Yay!

    See I can work for BSPN too.
