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

[<<TheStandard>>]

ya'll hate the lakers don't ya'll


the thing is AD can say he won't sign a extension if a team he doesn't like makes an offer

Toronto can't take the risk of having AD an Kawhi walking

They can take the risk because if they both walk, they'll just blow it up.

Also they can offer the most money to them.....It's a risk worth taking because you're likely to end up in the Finals with Kawhi and AD.

 

[The War Report]

AD can't be like KG and waste his career away on a franchise that ain't worth a damn.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Think about this.

The reason kd and klay and kawhi dont want to come to la is cuz lebron and his environment is toxic


However if they trade lebron for AD then you can possible get these guys. Kawhi kd to go along with AD.

That seems like a supreme win if im a lakers fan.

But that lebron love and bias wont let his stans see the forest from the trees

Versatility means very little when it cannot lead to 50 wins. AD is much better than Love, but his impact on the winning column is closer to Love's than Howard's.The Magic organization is just as bad as NO and yet Dwight got them to the finals as the centerpiece and consistently made them winners with rosters made up of mainly journeymen.

That's also while being an iron man during his first 7 seasons, only missing 7 games total in 7 years.

Dwight played 8 years in Orlando and made the playoffs 6 times. Look at Orlando's record during Howard's tenure:
36-46
40-42
52-30
59-23
59-23
52-30
37-29

AD still has a ways to go to prove he's on prime Howard's level. Like i said, he has yet to even win 50 games.

I think you are totally ignoring fit breh. Davis isnt the type of player that can impact wins solely without the help of other very good players mainly because in today's NBA he doesnt control or initiate the offense. He isnt Bron, Harden, or Steph. Even KD is overrated as an individual player. but when you plug these guys into systems with other great players and all of a sudden people start saying THEY are the best. I dont know if you realized, but the game has changed completely in the past 5 years and certainly since Dwight's prime. Dwight in today's game<<<<<AD in today's game.

 

[Trojan 24]

Idk why you wierdos keep thinking New orleans would want to trade AD for Lebron straight up, they want young players and picks. Not a 34 year old aging vet.

I'd laugh in Magic's face if that were even presented

[Frump]

The game is going away from big man like AD

He’s a great player but how much impact has he had on his team as great as he is?

 

[Hersh]

the reason ad told no that hes waiting for season to play out is because he's waiting on la to land Durant or kawai

 

[Recca Gatsby]

Get it done Magic

If this is truly it I don't know how this deal not ALREADY done, come on Lakers wtf

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

What if the Knicks get the first pick and offer Zion, expiring contracts and Kevin Knox.

AD
Unicorn

And than you give Durant or Kyrie a call.

If this is truly it I don't know how this deal not ALREADY done, come on Lakers wtf

Didnt magic say kuzma was untouchable

Besides boston can offer more than this

 

[ALonelyDad]

Regarding team preferences, Boston is not a top target for Davis, sources said. There’s a growing belief of uncertainty that Kyrie Irving will not re-sign with Boston, sources said, even though he vowed to do so at the beginning of the season.

The Knicks have valuable trade chips in Kristaps Porzingis, rookie Kevin Knox and potentially the No. 1 overall pick in 2019.


The Lakers’ package would almost have to include Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma along with other sweeteners and salary-cap fillers.

If the Knicks are successful, it could boost their attempts to lure Kevin Durant over the summer, and they’d still be in position to snag Irving or Charlotte’s Kemba Walker.

Within a five-month period, Madison Square Garden could be home to a championship contender.

The Lakers’ package would almost have to include Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma along with other sweeteners and salary-cap fillers.

For the Lakers, it’s time to strike now. It’s becoming more and more apparent that acquiring a top-tier free agent in the summer might be too complicated.

There’s pressure to surround LeBron James with elite talent sooner rather than later. James and Davis share the same agent, making the Lakers the most convenient and logical option.

Those in NBA circles knew this day was coming. Now, we may get to see what it will take for teams to acquire Davis.

AD gonna fumble this . I doubt a trade gets done now and he gonna be hated in NO until he leaves . Should of waited till the offseason as well to let more teams get in the mix as NO has zero reason to trade him now

AD would be less valuable to teams that want him for this year's playoffs if he waits until the summer to announce this desire

 

[Surreal]

It’s obvious he wants to play with the new king Luka
