Y’all need to peep this and let it sink in. We the mother fukking lakers . We don’t do the slow rebuild . We win rings . Trust the process and relax
Dudes are panicking like it's the Nash trade all over again. Nash was damn near 40 when that deal was made. Davis isn't even in the prime of his career yet. Not even close to the same situation. :heh:

Yall are in position. It's not guaranteed. Why mortgage your future so far out
Because they can win right now. Way too many people get hung up on "the future" when that isn't guaranteed either. Just look at the Celtics.

If they take care of their own business, they will be in the hunt for the next ten years. What else can you ask for?

There are picks deferrals that haven’t even leaked yet

This gonna get worse

Anthony Davis flat out said he was going to the lakers next year

Yet they gave up control of all their picks for the next ten years basically and 3 of their 4 best young players

Lakers are the gift that keeps on giving
There is no way to spin this into a positive, we were the only team. This guy gave up 3/4 players and all these picks/swaps.

And he is somehow supposed to be good at negotiating

I think some of y’all like missing the playoffs the way y’all be talking about picks. AD is a top 5 player, most dominant big in the league, best 2 way big. The only hurdle which isn’t a hurdle is to re-sign AD. Next is for him to not suffer a long term injury. AD in 5 years is 31. Lakers play in Los Angeles, dudes will want to play with him in 5 years. I don’t know why y’all are freaking out. Also it’s not 5 picks we’re giving up, y’all talking about not having draft picks like y’all don’t understand what swaps means. We’re really giving up 3 picks.

Brehs overreacting and shyt about some picks that won't even amount to the player that AD is. Like shyt we picked three straight dudes with the 2nd overall pick and where did that get us. The Lakers win titles through trades and free agency
