Anthony Davis Officially Traded to the Lakers for Ball, Ingram, Hart, & the 4th Pick

[PortCityProphet]

So basically Pelinka didn't factor in that Pels wanted to trade the 4th and the third team might not be willing to wait until July 30th. That's just....

Rookie mistake

Your comprehension fails you slow guy

The term once refers to the duration of that run.
For example
Dwyane wade played with lebron twice, in Miami and Cleveland, get it now slow guy.
The twice covers the 4 in Miami and the half season in Cleveland...get it..

That makes no sense and is very stupid.

[Aintnobodystupid]

Knicks dont have a farm to give up lol

We have the 3rd pick in this years draft. They would've wanted Mitchell Robinson definately and some combination of Alonzo Trier, Damyean Dotson, Kevin Knox or Dennis Smith Jr. Plus two future first. Our front office knew what they wanted and weren't willing to give it. They didnt bother even making an offer. They wouldve given him to us just to spite the Lakers.

They was fukking bidding against no one. Why the fukk they give up so much

 

[intruder]

this isnt a good take. you are praising a team for something that was circumstantial. if Lebron isnt involved then this deal doesnt happen. one minute guys are on here saying the Celtics or some other team has better packages than the Lakers and N.O. shouldnt fukk with the Lakers...then the next minute saying the Lakers got fleeced. Which is it?

Doggy, first of all I despise all these media darling teams like the Lakers and Celtics and Knicks that the Media feel are so crucial to the NBA's success. I personally ever wanted him to go to the Celtics and said many times i'd rather see him go to the Lakers to pair up with Lebron. Last thing i'd want is for clown ass Danny freakin Ainge to be successful in his quest to build a champion.

MY ONLY THING WAS that I did not want NO to just give in and give the Lakers their best player for nothing. AD is worth at least 2 1st rounders and then some. That nonsense of the Lakers trying to pry him away from NO for nothing just because they know NO has no choice but to trade him since he demanded it.

what you are saying about Big Market/Small Market isnt true either. the shyt is circumstantial. N.O. just happened to be in position to make this move, mainly because AD wasnt going to play there. the Lakers HAD to do this deal. few weeks ago, yall were saying N.O. wasnt going to deal with LAL. said nobody wanted Lakers trash. some of us said the moment Grif got hired that the deal was going to be made with LAL or BOS, because thats WHY they hired Grif in the first place....to deal with these two teams given his connection with both and the Rich Paul element.

Lakers had other options to look at. There are other FAs . NO had to make A deal since homie wanted out. Didnt matter with who. As long as the price was right for NO.

And quit the "y'all" nonsense if you responding to MY post, doggy. I didnt say shyt on the topic until that post. Put that "yall" shyt in a seperate post addressing the general coli. Not me

so dont be on here acting like N.O. did something so great. they made the best out of their situation because if AD didnt want to play for the Lakers and with Lebron, he couldve waited it out and the best they wouldve gotten wouldve been some trash picks or a salary dump in an S/T. you gonna sit here and play the small market card like the Pels didnt fukk up continuously while they had AD and failed to put a team around him and now thats why they are doing a total reboot. this deal is happening because N.O. has been trash for years.

They got 3 1st rounders. Like i said They didnt give in and forked him over for 1 or 2. They asked for 4 knowing damn well noone would give them 4 and they'd take 3 which is a fair deal. The initial asking price is alway higher than the actual value.

A bunch of reasons
1. Lakers is in win now mode with LeBron being on the team and a few high-level years left, plus you'll have someone to take over the franchise once LeBron retires; AD is only 26.
2.They couldn't take a chance of another Paul George situation happening. Say AD gets traded somewhere else and likes it there & decides to stay, so they missed out on getting him.
3.The west is wide open with KD & Klay being injuried, so you don't have to worry about GS being in the way.
4. The plan was to trade for AD and have room to sign a max free agent.

The Lakers should have gotten a better deal, but don't overvalue draft picks, even if they're high.

Like someone pointed out, the Kings probably would have traded their last 8-9 lottery picks for AD.

I hope Bron and AD play 40 games together this season and the Lakers go 11-29 with them on the court
