Think you're getting Anthony Davis and end up with Jaboari Porker brehs
Magic is insane if this is true. How you gonna call out Dlo but get Parker on your team. LeBron would hate Parker too.

Pels have no incentive to move AD now. The same core of Lonzo Ingram and kuzma will be there at the draft. It makes more sense to wait for the Knicks and see where their pic is as well as wait until you can see what Boston offers. It does not matter what Anthony Davis wants that all just get what you can
Offering "the whole farm" only works when that farm is a worthy asset in the first place. Them boys ain't fukking good man; if LA had drafted Tatum or Fox instead of Lonzo Bust this deal woulda been done already. And it's not just Tatum, the picks the Celtics would be offering like the Memphis pick which can become unprotected in 2021 are way more valuable than whatever trash in the late 20s we'd be getting from LA, and they have more of them to offer to boot. Don't forget guys like Robert Williams either, who isn't already about to hit restricted FA and we'd have to shell out for like Ingram is.

Read between the lines- AD saying he’ll resign to Boston would only make the pelicans want to wait for Boston. AD doesn’t want to waste away half a season not being able to contend now. Boston cannot trade now so pels would have to wait. The goal of AD saying he won’t resign is to force pels into moving him now and not waiting for arguably the best trade package that would only be available in July.That's bs to me, these guys aren't Dragan Bender Marquesse Chriss level busts. You're more attracted to the potential of even getting a high lottery pick in 3 years and fukking Robert Williams than the potential of making a star out of even 1 of those guys, 2 of whom were #2 picks and not even 22 years old???
I'm not even sure what the holdup is. AD is putting the message out there he's not re-signing with Boston if traded there. Boston should have NO REASON to want to offer Tatum. Blazers with something around CJ, Knicks' pick this year + Knox + DSJ + cap relief, and Lakers' package. Those are the only 3 viable options I see on the table right now for the Pelicans where there's 2-way motivations.
I love Magic but to give up Ball, Kuzma, Ingram, Rondo, Lance, Beasley, and 2 1st round picks for Davis and Solomon Hill contract, is too much.
Dell Demps is a fool, should be fired and never have a job in the league again if he doesn't accept this trade.
Can't think of another contending team that would trade for Jrue and be able to match salaries.
Lakers boutta gut their roster for Anthony Davis to link up with a 34 year old Lebron
The Lakers finna be ass till 2030
Imagine how the Lakers and their fans feel now that the Pels are making it clear that they think Tatum > Their entire young core
No y’all are not.We're happy that Demps is dumb enough to stop Magic from gutting our team. I expected better from Magic .
No y’all are not.
Y’all want AD bad
