    I think it's because everyone has this idea that they all are young and hungry and came together last postseason against the odds to make it to the ECF. They then add an all-nba player and another supposed all star.

    I think it's obvious that they were playing over their heads for a couple series last year and are now back down to their actual talent level. Problem is the press hasn't caught wind of that and they are still praising them based on a small hot streak last season. So while the vets on the team see it, the kids are just reading the hype and enjoying the smell of their own farts.

    Post was already great...butt what made it dope AF was the trumpeting that came as it closed.

    Also, it's been pointed out already, but Rozier is viewed as an insurance policy in case Ky leaves and Brown/Tatum are looked at as lame duck trade fodder for a real star...yet the media has them as mature unaffected youths, while ours are painted as mentally soft and get serenaded with "Brons gonna trade you" at the line.

    If the hate is this apparent, we're already back fam. We're just one piece away...

    Speaking of which, exhibit #16932898427 as to why AD isn't similar to that PC b**** Paula:

    Sure seems like he didn't mind how bad Klutch/he were portrayed by the media...he gives zero s***s about the noise and doesn't care how he's perceived.

    He's coming... It just might be in 2020 if the Pels don't shape the f*** up.



    If you could be this petty towards your franchise player trying to give y'all some assets in return, who is honestly going to stick with your franchise after the AD trade?

    Boston may convince those dumbf***s that they should take on Hayward's contract cause no psuedo-star/namer is coming to Nawlins any time soon and they would at least have Hawyward for a few years on that fully guaranteed deal.

    Magic needs to be more like Rob with his comments. You aren’t going to get anyplace by pissing off front offices, even if it is true.

    I agree in principle and as a general pattern for FO interactions league wide. But the Pels leadership needed to be called out for their bad faith “negotiations”. I thought Magic did it just right without naming any specific names.

    The way Anthony Davis and his agent have been mocked, railroaded, etc. The only way he can get even is to come to the Lakers regardless of who he gets traded to. I dont want to help Boston, but after the way the Boston media treated AD and Klutch, and how Ainge has created players in the past, they'd have to be crazy to trade for AD. He probably hates Boston more than any franchise in the league.

    He's going to get traded to a random team for scraps. Then that team will come to us and ask for two kids and a draft pick.

    We should have offered everything, 8 first round picks, everyone, just to see if they were actually negotiating in bad faith. Then if they excepted, we could say Jeanie came in and squashed the deal for "Basketball Reasons m***** f*****s "

    Some admission/perception into the Pels leaking the Laker package.

    Also Simmons and cbag stans are upset cause they know emptying the "treasure chest" for AD and to pacify Ky is wishful thinking.

    Btw where's the coverage on that Woj/Mannix/{insert other cbag tools here}?

    I mean, technically we did...

    How you can compare ANY package out there to Kuz, BI, Zo, and Zu AND 2 1sts is beyond me.

    I don’t how many times we have to repeat ourselves, yes, Tatum is a good player, but not even close to those 3 COMBINED in a package.

    So yes, the Pelicans did act in bad faith and Magic called them out on it. No ones gonna work or sign with them again.

    Having him our team would've been or would be really big. I haven't been able to keep up with everything like I want to but it'll be a crime to not have him, when the opportunity is right there. We'll be kicking ourselves for a while.

    Let this sink in... Based on everything I have read: NOP was NOT trading AD to LAL.
