..but then they'll be competing with boston/tatum offer, which is the best talent involved. lakers was trying to get a head start to avoid that.

That's better than dealing with a spiteful league in the midst of a trade. Another factor is that the young Lakers core could have raised their value during the playoffs.

Silver probably calling up Stern


Stern: Basketball Reasons Hotline


Silver: David, Jeanie Buss and Magic are pissed about what's going on with the Pelicans deal


Stern: Tell them David Stern sends his regards and ask them about how that Chris Paul trade worked out for them


Silver: David, you're gonna get me killed


Stern: Bye Adam (laughing as phone hangs up)

Report: Anthony Davis to file grievance if Pelicans sit him for season

LOL... let your injury prone trade asset play in games... AD... You letting your agent and Bron call the shots because they are desperate for help at mid-season and didn't want to wait till the off season makes you look like a tool.

Players Union Instant Grievance Hearing ..... This Aint Little Leauge Dog


Melo is a bench player who can be cut at any time he has no grounds in a Grievance case which is why you don't hear him complaining .... He is not at all comparable to a perinnial all star in his prime being forced to DNP's without cause


Starbury was actually suspended by the knicks for conduct detrimental to the team because HE allegedly didn't want to go into a game when he was called upon... so 1.they had cause 2.they were holding buyout negotiations because he no longer wanted to be around D'Antoni... AD is the opposite as He has already told his coach he intends to finish out the season

If they sat him without cause it would go to arbitration and they would lose... It would also be a terrible stain on their organizational professionalism... Especially if AD was in the media everyday giving "updates"


Not a good idea from any perspective.....
