    i mean, we don't have to wonder. david griffin himself spent the first bit of his time as gm trying to change AD's mind. of course he'd rather have him. anyone would. well, almost anyone.

    Or he's signing with the Clippers for the minimum this offseason.

    Anthony Davis has the ability to be a lot more marketable once he wins a ring. That was a very nice commercial.

    See, this is the idea. I would be attracted to the Lakers just for this energy and these opportunities. The environment is conducive to building and fulfilling dreams. LeBron had to find his way here, he was too big for any place else. Now AD has as well and now it’s his oyster. Like how long before Zion realizes that he is too big for NOLA. You can only do so many local crab shack commercials.

    The downside, if you don’t have the maturity and solid support, you will get rolled. Lakers fans have seen both happen these recent years with many of our youngsters paying the price.

    HA. That used to be my credit union when under Time Warner umbrella. Wow 2 minute commercial with a Lakers superstar .... that had to be cheap.

    At the beginning of the season, AD said he wanted to be the MVP. Now, without hesitation, he says LeBron should be the MVP. I just love how much these two respect each other. AD knows LeBron is better just by playing with him.

    Lebron's a Laker now and will get screwed like Kobe used to get screwed. Look at all the fouls on him not called now. But it's pretty clear he should be in the conversation on the shortest of lists.

    Giannis gets it running away by any criteria you throw out there, but LBJ is having a heck of a season.

    Let's hope Giannis agrees.

    25 points 2nd half and big reason we won and you’re the first comment like we’re disappointed cause he had some tough spots with the 3 fouls in 1st half. Spoiled Laker fans.

    I just hate when he settles for the midrange. He should be able to get to the paint and force them into foul trouble or give us some inside presence. We don't need him to shoot jumpers when he's got smaller players on the block.

    Started slow with the fouls then he got aggressive down low, especially against Giannis. This is the AD we need to win a championship.

    Yeah, he needed to rise to the occasion and he did... hitting some big clutch shots.

    LBJ carried the team most of the game but AD did his share at the end.

    I see nothing wrong with pointing out his slow start... it's how it happened.

    The Bucks looked lost on offense tonight... more like a four seed team than the team that had only lost 9 games.

    Giannis was working so hard and no one else could get going except for maybe Donte.

    But Khris won't always go 1 for 7 or whatever he did so we can't be overconfident either

    He seems so much more comfortable against some of these guys facing up from midpost/midrange area though. When he posts up he tends to go that fadeaway when the double team hits but facing up he seems more comfortable just attacking the rim.

    I guess I'm more comfortable with the midrange shot as a setup to his drive then that fadeway on the back to the basket moves

    Huge second half , we're a "Anthony Davis embracing the physicality and getting through defenders/contact more" away from being unstoppable

    rewatched the game, he got hosed by the refs in the 1st half, some parts of the 2nd... still he closed the game with LBJ combining for almost all the points in the 4th except for the Bald Eagle's split Fts

    He got disrespected by the refs in the first half. That was hard to watch.

    Still dominated the Bucks in the 2nd half.
