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

I never saw the hype in AD, so it was always a bad trade to me.


It all depends on how you look at the bubble though.

you gotta feel silly for posting this

Agreed, but I do feel like if you keep Ingram or D'lo and maybe trade Kuzma instead for AD you're still in the playoffs right now and still in contention for another chip.

Obviously keeping Ingram would have helped long term. However, I think the Pels were smart enough to realize it was Zo who made Kuz.

In hindsight, you trade Kuz as well and keep the 1st round pick. Deandre Hunter or Garland (then you move Danny Green for another SG instead of Schroder) would have been best.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

I will say if I knew for sure they were going into the bubble (helps young players), had the #1 seed, were going to avoid the Clippers, Bucks, Sixers..


I actually think they could have won the title with BI, Zo, etc in ADs place and then you could sign AD in free agency. Again it would have took all those scenarios to happen for them to win a championship with a core that young though.

 

[Tom Foolery]

The trade was worth it. I never thought that young core was good at all.

Yeah I feel silly because my team won a title…….

No y’all think before y’all post?

The trade wouldn't have happened without Ingram. First off, NO wanted Ingram, not Kuz. Second, even if that didn't matter, Ingram's salary was necessary to make the numbers work; Kuz didn't make enough.

I don't know why people keep saying this silly shyt like the Lakers chose Kuzma over Ingram when that wasn't the case. There was no way they could keep Ingram and get AD.

So how couldnt Mr “it’s them not me” not win with Jrue Holiday? A lot of times I watch this guy he looks like the most talented played on the court

Are you basing that off a game like tonight where he can’t miss or when goes like 4-20 against bk?

Did you not see Jrue in the last series against the Hawks he was locking down 1-5 and then they couldn’t stay in front of him on offense

Different team. Different system. Different teammates. Different motive.

Yeah I agree AD is much better suited to being LeBron's bytch than being asked to be the man on his own team
