Anthony Davis

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Lakers or Celtics

Which is a total crock of shit.

Would be nice if there was a pro sports league that tried to help small markets compete, instead of being dismissive of small markets and pushing stars to go to big markets.
 
NOP:

Jimmy Butler
Markelle Fultz
Zahire Smith

PHI:

Anthony Davis

Celtics can't trade for Davis right now, unless they simultaneously send out Kyrie (which, they might). And the Lakers really do not have the assets for Davis, even though I'm kinda hoping he lands here.
 
First things first fuck Lebron and GSW

I think AD ends up in NYK they’ve already been linked to him and he’s stay there. NY offers Porzingis/Knox and unprotected 1st (will be top 5 this year). NY would still have Robinson at Trier with max cap space, they’d be option 1 if the snake leaves GSW and are literally a lock for Irving the following year if they don’t get KD
I agree...Knicks have a great shot here...Durant would be a real possibility if they have Davis already
 
An all time great team they drafted and didn’t force to happen.

Either way, what’s more worrying is that an NBA player is singing guys to his own sports agency and then forcing another teams hand to trade for them.

New Orleans gets fucked. Cleveland gets fucked. Boston is beyond fucked.

LeBron, Kyrie, and AD will be Lakers and this was in the works for a long time and carefully planned.

I think Kyrie stays in Boston. He like Stevens. He’s maximizing his potential there.

Kyrie will not resign with the Pelicans.

This is designed to ensure both Kyrie and AD end up in LA.

Hence why Kyrie apologized at the time he did.

This shit couldn’t be more obvious.

Kyrie and LeBron both get what they want in the end. Away from Cleveland and in Hollywood.

If you’re into the NBA like it’s wrestling then you’re good. If you appreciate stars staying in small market teams then you’re fucked.

LeBrons power in the NBA IS the NBA.

This leads to nowhere good IMO. Adam Silver has to step in here. This is the beginning of the end.

It’s time for NBA owners to step up. Time for a lockout.
 
Question is do the Pelicans even want Lonzo Ball...Ingram...Hart? I say no way in hell....does Kuzma put that offer over the top? as soon as those guys become free agents they're outta there anyway...Lakers have no picks either...I just don't see a way for LA to get him especially if the Pels wait for the summer

Lakers likely won't have enough cap to sign all three as free agents while remaining competitive year to year.

I also don't think Kyrie ends up here next season. If those two are going to reunite, IMHO, it'd be in Cleveland after Kyrie's next contract.

I highly doubt the Pelicans would be persuaded by anything the Lakers can put together unless a third team was involved. But, the Lakers would trade the entire franchise for Davis without hesitation ... that's a fact. But, that still likely isn't more than the Celtics opening offer of Tatum and Brown - so all the Pelicans need to do is to wait.
 
The idea that Kyrie planned to meet back up with James runs counter-intuitive to everything we had been hearing from Irving's camp. There was a genuine personality conflict between James and Irving the entire time LBJ played in Cleveland.

Additionally, Irving never wanted to play in Cleveland long-term. His father was vocal and open about larger markets and his son's brand. LeBron wanted to play with Irving because their games meshed well and it would provide retribution for his own brand... but a coordinated three year plan to meet up in LA?

GTFO.

Right now it’s obvious what AD, Kyrie, and LeBron want to happen.

Whether that happens or not is up for debate. What is happening is the foundation for a Kyrie, LeBron, and AD “superteam”.

What is known is that these 3 want to pair up.

Gilbert was used and abused. He gave LeBron absolute power here thinking their meeting meant their past was squashed when in reality LeBron would only use Gilbert’s past to haunt him and an excuse to bolt after trading Kyrie.

Gilbert bent to LeBron hand over foot and he still called him out on “The Barber Shop” and said he couldn’t forgive him after the letter.

That’s because he used Gilbert to build his team, win a ship in Cleveland, improve his legacy, and then retire a Hollywood star all while getting Clutch paid on Gilberts dime. Remember him saying “Sign Tristan already”?

The championship in Cleveland meant nothing but a “GOAT” conversation topic to LeBron which he said himself in an interview. The league is a farce. LeBron is a farce. The only people suffering are a shit ton of small market teams who’s favorite players are joining LeBron. This is why LeBron worked so hard representing the players during the union debates.

It’s all set up now that players who want to maximize their self worth will play for the biggest markets.

It’s an abomination.

GTFO.

The man called LeBron and personally apologized and then airs it to the media?! When the hell has that ever happened? Now LeBron is singing to Kyrie On Instagram? Cmon man...

You got played. We all got played.
