    Anyone with the athletic have the TL:DR summary? Mainly any Tatum the God news

    Edit:



    Uhh. "We'll make it worth it for you"

    That should instill so much confidence to the Pelicans (Fart noise)

    Without Tatum, I don't see anyway they could make it worth it.

    Hmm, this guy has been posting a lot about the AD rumors and I’ve heard others say he’s not a real insider. But looks like he knew the details of the Bullock trade far before anyone else.

    If the ramifications of this ordeal leads to Luke losing the team, creating a toxic environment in the locker room (ie last year's Cavs) and as a result missing the playoffs, this will be the second worst Decision made by Lebron's camp.

    I think we need to send out Ball, Ingram and Zu for Beal in a 3 way where Wizards get Josh Jackson, Ingram and Zu. Yes, we overpay, but it will create stability for at least a season and a half until AD becomes a free agent in 2020.

    If going all in on Anthony Davis is what fractures our team to the point of missing the playoffs, then we were never meant to make the playoffs after all. That would be more of an indictment on Luke’s coaching abilities and Magic’s roster construction then Lebron IMO.

    Other than score 25 ppg and take the burden off of Lebron to be the 1st, 2nd and 3rd option.

    Ya, how were the Wiz with his 25 points with all world John Wall? You people and stats has gotten to Billy Bean status X infinity.

    I am NOT interested in f***ing stats. I am interested in WINNING games on a regular basis. And right now, the Lakers are better at being useless f***ing p****** than grown a** men who have pride in winning and being great.

    When I run out of toilet paper, I print The Atlantic articles and use it to wipe my a**. That's the max of their value.

    I promise that I'm not trying to be a j******, but I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not.

    No. I'm pretty good at reading. But the article was in The Athletic which is a completely different entity than The Atlantic.

    Lakers owe their 2019 2nd round pick...so it's interesting they didn't offer their 2020 2nd rounder cause the Stepien Rule doesn't allow for teams to trade successive 1st round picks, but 2nd round picks are fair game. AD related?

    What does Luke have to do with any of this? There's only so much a coach can control. Did Pop get criticized for losing Kawhi? What about Carlisle with Rondo? Those are the 2 best coaches in the NBA. Players aren't robots and throwing them in every trade scenario messes with their psyche and chemistry. That's on Maginka and Rich Paul/Lebron.

    I mean, hearing "Lebron will trade you" at the FT line.... you thInk that brings positive vibes in the locker room? I thought we've learned a thing or two from how Lamar and Pau left us.
