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

Sounds like New Orleans is in due process but the reality is they have one trade partner with any substance.

 

I'd rather take a chance on him rounding into form and staying healthy than keep Kuzma.

 

Wait, so other teams are hesitant to trade away pieces like Levert, Robinson, or Knox, while we're anxious to give away much better prospects like Ingram, Ball and Kuzma? Makes sense.

 

sure n id rather keep bi. everyone has preferences i guess and chooses whatever optics best suite them, this is a wings league, a pg that cant shoot or look to score is useless no matter how great he is defensively

 

Zo was starting to attack the basket and finish a lot better with his speed and athleticism when he wrecked his ankle. I expect that to continue to become a strength this year. Opens up a lot of things for him and the team.

 

More likely Suns or Bulls?

 

i find it hard to believe that the nets won't give anyone up. same with clips. that's spin from their front offices. the truth is that davis has let them know he'd rather not be there, so they're saving face by pumping up their youth. notice that the two teams davis has said he'd play for long-term have made no such claims, despite having better pieces than either bkn or lac.

the timing of paul's anti-boston statement makes me think ainge is pushing for a deal in ways that are giving the lakers' and knicks' FOs problems--namely, griff's using boston's hypothetical godfather package as leverage, and ainge is letting him think it's possible in the hopes he can buy time and pull a rabbit out of a hat.

my guess is boston AGAIN wants to delay the deal--this time until after the draft, when their future memphis pick starts to feel more valuable than our current #4 or the knicks's #3. then they'll hope we and ny get shut out in FA, and suddenly he's got the package and two teams that might be a bit gun shy on committing assets.

he's a clever bastard. let's hope griffin sees through it, because he's not getting the C Bags' godfather offer. ever.

 

LOL .... we crossed posts as I did the edit.

 

if all of that is offered by rob n trade still isnt getting thru than theres no trade to be had.....thats pretty much the deadline offer

 

we don't know what's been offered. i'm still not sure if we know what was offered at the deadline, tbh. "everything on the table" and "everything at once" aren't the same thing.

i do think that if this drags past the draft, it becomes a different situation for many reasons.

 

we know anything n everything was offered at the deadline, current pkg is unknown, if that initial rob offer is to be believed i have high hopes 1 of the 3 amongst bi/kuz/zo can be retained

 

do we? didn't jeanie claim that wasn't true? i imagine the offer at the deadline was big (and much bigger than our opening offer this time), but it may not have been as reported.

 

what about the report that magic went behind jeanie back n offerred up even more than what he told her he offered?

 

I think the FO is pushing hard to keep Lonzo right now, as much as they love Kuz.

Even though a package of Ingram, Kuz, #4, Hart and 2021 1st would blow any other offer out the water, I think Rob will concede a 2023 1st to keep Lonzo here.

 

Pretty clear we have to do something now, we cant go into preseason with the same roster or morale will be completely in the dumpster. If we cant get an AD deal done, the FO is almost forced to make a smaller move with some of our young talent.
