Zo with the well timed injury, Ball control

I'm expecting for Kuz to announce he needs surgery on that hip in a couple hours

 

[Guile]

Rich Paul and LeBron had this shyt coordinated before making that announcement. Also, besides the grumbling owners who runs their teams half assed the league wants LeBron on a contender.

The New Orleans Pelicans are open to trading Anthony Davis to the Lakers – but it’ll come at a hefty price.

According to sources unauthorized to speak publicly on the deal, a Lakers offer for Davis would have to start with Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Ivica Zubac and a first-round pick. Davis requested a trade from the Pelicans last week.

“Anthony wants to be traded to a team that allows him a chance to win consistently and compete for a championship," his agent Rich Paul told ESPN on Monday. "Anthony wanted to be honest and clear with his intentions and that's the reason for informing them of this decision now.”

Davis makes $25.43 million this year, $27.09 million next year and $28.75 million in the 2020-21 season. Because the Lakers’ young players are all on much thriftier rookie contracts, the money would only match up if the Lakers added another big salary to the deal.


Incidentally, Paul, who represents LeBron James as well, also represents Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, whom the Lakers signed to a one-year deal worth $12 million. According to sources unauthorized to speak publicly, Paul has been searching for a trade partner for the Lakers to move Caldwell-Pope in search of a better role for the 25-year-old guard.

The Pelicans’ big man has long been a Lakers target. He came in third in MVP voting last season, after James Harden and LeBron James, and was considered a front-runner for this year’s award. Davis is currently sidelined with a finger fracture.

The Lakers began meeting about the possibility Monday morning, sources said. New Orleans had previously indicated no interest in trading Davis. On Dec. 22, before the two teams played in Los Angeles, Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry declared that the Pelicans would not trade Davis under any circumstances.

Exactly, Magic gotta get Kawhi by any and all means necessary. This is lowkey almost the same high stakes game cokehead and mitch played with the Kobe/Dwight/CP3 plan. Maglinka gotta learn from that shyt. Gotta finish if your gonna trade the kids for AD.

We gotta keep Lonzo

No point in getting rid of one of your best defenders.. if we're gonna beat the Warriors hes needed in the team to play good defense on Curry. Gotta keep players that impact the game in more ways than just scoring.

Yeah Kuzma can get hot but he doesnt play D.. and what else is he bringing us if he has a bad shooting night?

 

[Regular_P]

Can they even trade Ball right now since he's injured?

That’s big facts. Lonzo’s Defense was a big reason we won that Xmas game. Plus him running the break with Bron, AD, and Kawhi would be lethal.

 

[Flex Luger]

Alright so any deal will pretty much have to include KCP right? So what would you breh say offer NO? All of the young guys? 2 of them? 3?

 

[GreatestLaker]

Lowkey tho, between Ball and BI who should go in this trade? I’m kinda torn. I’m hoping we can salvage enough youth from this. But if AD gives us a real shot at Kawhi then BI might be the one to keep since that perimeter defense would be ungodly. But Zo has amazing potential in his own right.

shyt, I’m not against any moves for any of the players but I highkey was hoping we could sign him outright and keep our assets. fukk it, cut that deal Maglinka....

both of them. If you have to give up the whole roster minus lebron you do it.
