Pelicans will win this trade. Sucks for us due to Harden's prime. West gets tougher and we have gotten worse with our coaching losses. Hopefully Morey has some magic
How is this good?! Pelicans held all the cards and they don’t get Kuzma. This is doing LA a big favour. Awful players, one solid pick...Lakers win this by a long mile!
Curious to know more details on the other two picks NOLA will get, with Lebron aging they might be interesting. Pelicans now have Holiday and Lonzo, not sure they're going to resign Payton...
Adam Silver also agreed to give the Pelicans the first pick in the draft if they guaranteed a Davis trade to New York or Los Angeles.
wow...Bron, AD, Kuzma, and up to 33 mil in cap space the Rockets are done...pray the Clippers don’t have a successful summer as well
Tbd on how this turns out but so far in paper it seems like LAL took the GSW years off, had as dysfunctional a 5 year period a season possible really, but are now back in contention. Sucking for a bit can lead to being good again... if you make the right moves. Big if.
So, Lakers will probably start the season with: Davis Kuzma Lebron 3&D guy with the MLE Irving/Kemba or: Davis Kuzma Lebron Butler PG with the MLE Welp...better hope Lebron is about to decline otherwise we're screwed.
So room for butler ? Sign him at 30 mil .. Butler Lebron Kuzma Davis Zubiac or wtv his name is.. solid
Wouldn't be surprised if Griffin flips Ball or Ingram before the season starts. Has the whole offseason to make more deals. Ironically, it's probably easier to make deals for Ball and Ingram than it is for Davis.
