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

[WMG the 2nd]

Y’all keep saying young talent when it was essentially Brandon ingram for Anthony Davis
Picks don’t play, Lonzo not a star, and Hart is kcp without the drinking problem. Lakers won the trade even if they win just won title

 

[Lakerman0834]

The Lakers traded 4 nickels for a quarter.

People can tell themselves we overpaid all they want but their goal was championship and if they win the title they won the trade. If it was to build a team for the next 10 years then sure they overpaid but the goal was a ring next 2 years so seems like it Worked out well. Plus zo and hart looking like role players And draft picks ain’t a sure thing. Just look at Zion he was suppose to take the league by storm yet he’s on burst restriction...

I still hate that trade. Feel as if they've mortgaged the future because I don't expect Bron to play like this for another season.

AD still better than all 3 of those players combined and when bron retires you don’t think AD can get another star to join him in LA?

Why not
And even if he steps down, whats that? 20/7/7? That’s an all star. He showed he can still pass as good if not better than ever. 18/8/8 is all nba still if you win 55 games

 

[Piff Huxtable]

the goal is to win a ring, not to stockpile assets that get you 45 wins but nowhere close to a championship

 

[Ziggiy]

Lakers won that trade just by virtue of getting rid of Zo’s overrated ass.


Now their about to win the Chip Nuff said

 

[Trot LaRoc]

The Lakers mortgaged their future to win now, and that's cool it seems to be working out for them.

When LeBron slows down and AD is the man in another year or so good luck getting young talent around him. You going to be banking on him staying healthy and hitting it big again in free agency.

It should also be noted that the Lakers haven't won the championship yet although they are the favorites as they should be.

Ball and Hart are whatever so to me they gave up Ingram and some late 1sts. I'll do that anyday for a chance to win a title now. None of those guys are gonna be main players in a title team. In sports trades, you generally overpay. Ainge got everyone thinking you can fleece ppl ala Billy King or get bargains

Bron has 3 more seasons of at least 22/7/7 caliber play...he wont be able to take over like in the past but barring injury he will still give Allstar level production

And even with fleecing he ain’t win a title yet. He’s holding onto all these assets that could have gotten him AD and a finals appearance...

It was the obvious right move to make from the beginning. People were severely overrating the players that the Lakers traded. Ingram is a great young player but when the trade basically comes down to Him for AD you go AD every time.

It’s because the lakers and bron involved that’s only reason people talking shyt.

Yet no one talking about what clippers gave up to get PG

I always felt Ingram was the better player so that would’ve been seen as a super rape by the Lakers if they kept him

just read the last page. I don’t understand people harping on them “mortgaging” their future. When you get LeBron you’re focused on win now..whether they admitted that initially or not. Maybe hitting on a pick or maybe Zo developing isn’t something I’d gamble on when I have a sure shot at a championship now.

It’s a buddy buddy league..Lakers will be able to get someone to come over with AD after LeBron leaves.
