Anthony Davis has requested a trade from N.O. Update: AD to Lakers for Lonzo, Ingram, Hart & 3 picks

[Easy-E]

It’s hilarious how a lot of ppl think tha Pelicans owe it to the Lakers to do this trade



nikkaz waiting on the trade like they waiting for the new Avengers trailer.

When he goes to Philly or some shyt, IM DYING

 

[CrimsonTider]

If AD is still in NO this summer and they get #1 pick (Zion), do you think he stays??

No veteran is eager to play with a rookie

 

[Ziggiy]

Honestly, Ingram isn't a great deal. He is about to expiring next off-season and will command an Andrew Wiggins like salary haul and can get in because 2020 will have more money than ever.

Kuzma isn't that good.

Ball is the best piece by a mile and honestly, you could get four solid 1sts, Brown and some quality pieces from the Celtics even without Tatum which is who NO will really want. Boston just has much better assets. LA only has one really good asset and that's Ball.

Never been impressed with Ball. I don’t think he’s a future all star personally.


And again, is Ainge gonna give up Tatum, Brown, and FOUR firsts for a one year rental of AD Ainge ain’t t THAT crazy....

 

[UpAndComing]

kyrie would leave... leaving Nola with nothing int he trade...

demps would refuse the trade.

True. Still, if I'm Danny I'm throwing in all my draft picks with Kyrie, fukk it lol

 

[Ziggiy]

Have you seen the Lakers since Christmas?

Of course. Without Bron they’ve been uneven as fukk (thats putting it nicely)

BUT

They are still a young core with enough upside that offerring all three of them PLUS picks and cap relief is a great deal. Especially considering AD don’t wanna play for the Celtics. Who else can offer a better deal?

 

[#1 pick]

They literally have 4 firsts in just this draft alone.

Boston is assets galore. LA isn't. I don't know what's so hard to understand about that.

I like Ball, I am not sure he will be a future all star but he can be a good NBA player long term and a quality two way PG. You have more need for Ball in the NBA than any other Laker not named LeBron.

 

[South Paw]

This trade feels like detox status

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

We were always heading in this direction and now we're finally here

You're a c00n if you don't get LeBron more help

No. Hes a c00n for wanting to suck Danny Ainge's big toe.

3. Memphis pick won’t convey. Could end up being 2 if the Clippers miss the playoffs

My issue is; they are not good enough to trade before more options open up in the summer. The Lakers have no leverage when they say "we'll give you everything."

That deal will be there in July.

everyone in the media and around the league is saying they would take that Laker deal in a heartbeat. so if Pels fukk up, they have no one to blame. I thought Tatum was nba ready and cant miss pro coming out of Duke but he is being overrated right now. people tend to overrate shooters. I still stand firm that Ingram may end up being better in a couple of years. Tatum has had great success, but by overrating him you are underrating what Horford, Brown, Rozier, Smart and the rest of the C's did last year. people act like Tatum carried the team by himself.

a bird in the hand....let the Pels wait til summer when Kyrie says he isnt going to re-sign with Boston. someone besides the Bucks and Clips would need to be added to AD's list.

 

[Hypris]

Tatum is the only "star" the Celtics have locked in long term. The Pelicans would be fools to expect Ainge to offer Tatum, especially since AD made it clear he doesn't want to be a Celtic. No team is going to give up the farm like the Lakers are doing. They might as well drop their pride and accept the offer. Start building chemistry with their new team now.

 

[Colejeezy]

the pelicans cant be serious with that demand..


along with the young lakers core..they ask for 4 first rounders and 2 second round picks who are the lakers getting? Jesus?

if im magic, id tell em suck my dyck and move on

 

[Easy-E]

If I were Magic i wouldn’t budge on that deal. Take it or leave it. This whole “teams don’t wanna deal with the Lakers” bullshyt kinda reeks of because you have two BLACK MEN (Magic & Bron) utilizing their positions to better their situation. Just as ALL men have done since time began.

It's the Los Angeles Lakers, Breh.

Not Jet Magazine in the 80's.

Now Dell Demps is holding up Black power. Like New Orleans isn't one of the most important cities in black culture.

a lot of things can and will happen by then. there is no guarantee that deal will be there and I think its a good chance it wont be.

btw...AD has been cleared to play, so what are the Pels going to do about that? shut him down for the rest of the season?
