Lakers News: Rich Paul Details Why Anthony Davis Waived $4 Million Trade Kicker

Before the NBA’s wildest free agency period ever began, Anthony Davis and agent Rich Paul did right by the Los Angeles Lakers.

Davis waived his $4 million trade kicker from the blockbuster deal with the New Orleans Pelicans in order to give the Lakers a max-contract slot.

I wish we just made Griffin our GM and Jerry West our pbo from the beginning, we probably have most of our kids and 2 super stars

 

with what cap space? they gona trade lou/harrell? lol

 

And we reciprocated by giving them KCTax

 

Ballmer made his bed ..... laying with snakes. Hope our front line brings the pain and roughs them up in the key every time we play.

Awesome. I think it was argued as well AD giving up his trade kicker (which made no ethical sense anyway since he forced the unpopular trade from NO point of view) ..... was not a good decision. Bad use of strategic cap space. AD seems to have been in the perfect place with his thinking.

 

I wouldn’t put it past one or both of Kawhi and Paul George to seriously consider signing with the Lakers in 2021 if LeBron chooses to come off the books instead of opting into that $41m 2021 salary.

 

Kawhi would still be in his prime at 30 and 3 years younger than LeBron was when he signed with us.

 

Sorry not cool I know.

No I'm not.

 

sign one, trade him to Minn in Dec

 

I wish the other team well and good health, and I support guys doing what is best for them and their families.

I hope we conducted business in a way that leaves the door open for future possibilities. I think that’s important for a class act organization. It’s not the last time we’ll be spurned.

However, I want to smash those guys at their full strength with no excuses and allow them the opportunity to regret their decision convincingly.

It’s not personal, it’s just business.

 

I don't want Dookie Leonard or Paul George on the Lakers. They each crapped on the team in their own way and they are dead to me. My only worry is that they will try to snake Giannis to the Clippers in 2021.

I don't think Giannis will leave Milwaukee at all, but if he does, a lot of people think it would be to the Lakers. As long as those two, especially Dookie, are still around, they could obviously try to collude with Ballmer's front office to lure GIannis to the L.A. JV team.

 

Just like Kawhi .... fair and square ..... in good faith? How bout what goes around comes around and oh damn sorry that happened to your career choice and methods?

 

nothing personal against PG anymore, from the stories we hear from Mr. Rambis maybe it was more trouble than its worth to us/pg due to the tampering issues. But man Leonard straight played us, feels just like how Demps wasn't going to deal with us in good faith over AD trade no matter what.

 

Careful, such logical posts and comparison to our roster, in a negative way, may get you banished right now. Too much butt hurt around here.

 

I don't know that it had to do with us as much as Lebron playing for us. Some players are just not a good fit together. They essentially are playing a similar role as each other, and one would undoubtedly overshadow the other just via personality. If he viewed going to the Clippers better than going back to Canada vs playing for us, it is what it is.

Mr Lebron is a polarizing figure. But yes, because he held out leverage til the last minute, it felt a little dirty. But if you are in his shoes, you may play it similarly to your own benefit. I don't think he could make the final decision until he could determine they couldn't pull off the PG trade. I don't think it was malicious, but as fans, it's easy to interpret it that way.
