Anthony Davis Discussion: Only Player On Both All NBA + All Def

Not a chance in hell Kuzma isn't in the deal. Lakers likely are giving up all their young guys if this happens.

 

Breaking News:

“Lonzo Ball’s injury is worse than anticipated, and he may be out the rest of the year. Tests are being done regarding vascular degeneration and tendinopathy concerns.”

—- BBB ( Probably)

 

And they should...

if that's what it takes...

 

This is the opportunity you take.

I don’t care who it takes, GET IT DONE.

 

Sigh wrong again ..... OX guaranteed it and mocked all the weenies who were worried about it still. I believed Ox.

 

Talking a revolving door of minimum contracts the next many years. I get it, but don’t necessarily like that model.

 

We do pretty well scouting; I think we'll be able to find cheap talent in the draft on rookie deals.

 

Its what essentially what the did with the Heat and Cleveland.

I’ll be fine with Rondo, Lance, McGee Gfilling those type of spots.

 

BI/Kuz/Zu/Wagner/picks

get it done magic and rob. if he's still with NO by the end of the season he''ll most likely end up in boston

 

I think the FO (me included) has learned our lesson about not pawning the kids off. They’ve had ample opportunities to become untouchable and didn’t do it. If a trade can be consummated for AD, it’ll happen.

 

until the nba stops rewarding stockpiling superstars, it's the championship model. part of it is the nature of the game (single players can be super impactful in basketball moreso than other team sports), part of it is referee bias (see james harden's entire existence), and part of it is that the CBA can't prevent players from taking less money to chase rings (see cousins, karl malone, etc.).

so, yeah, it's a bit unpalatable. you'd like to develop an ensemble cast of homegrown talent and win titles. of course, that's what GS did, and they became a villain eventually anyway, lol.

still, that's the ideal model as a fan.

for me, i just want better basketball. had we gone the nets route and were playing over our heads with young guys we discovered and coached up, i'd be just as happy as if we are contending with lebron and AD. i just don't like the current status very much.

 

i agree. all have been given a fair shot. none of have been busts, but none have shown the ability to carry a franchise. hence, they're tradable for someone who can. that's not a slight. it's just facts. if we offered them for AD and NO says no, i'll gladly keep them. i've just been annoyed that we refuse to offer them given the data available.

 

What we have is mostly unwatchable basketball

 

yeah, it's not happening. it was just a thought. holiday is a great third wheel on a lebron/AD team.

 

AD really liked playing with Rondo too, and was disappointed he wasn’t kept.

Losing Rondo and Boogie without a fight, and then sucking again. No wonder he wants out.

 

Where's @KareemtheGreat33 now with his jinx boy accusations? You dumb a** knock it off with your gifs. Time and a place / this is serious / not about you.

My neighbor's gardener knows someone close to AD and he's hella emo about his unibrow.
