Davis' list: Lakers Celtics Knicks "Educated speculation" (Trade package) "Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma -- I like that better than Tatum, Brown, Rozier." -Chris Broussard
"Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma -- I like that better than Tatum, Brown, Rozier." Yeah, no kidding. From Wikipedia: As of 2018, [Broussard] resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Crystal, and twin daughters, Alexis and Noelle.
I'm sure the Pelicans will kindly bend over and accept the Lakers' draft busts in exchange for AD. As far as AD to Houston, no chance. The Pelicans wouldn't want to trade him to a division rival ofc
If the Celtics want him, they will get him. The Celtics have the most assets. I’m sure Jerry West will get involved as well. The Sixers should offer Embid but won’t. Morey will offer some crappy group centered around Capela, and fans will be crushed when he goes to LA.
I mean to me the bottom line is 1) Will AD accept the Pelicans super max contract? 2) If AD does not, then he has to be traded. 3) Celtics have the best asset package. 4) Will AD "not commit" thereby lessening what the Celtics will want to give up for a year of wooing him.
I've said it a million times, but any team that trades a superstar for a collection of younger promising players are doing nothing but becoming a farm team for the blessed franchises. The lakers know that when Kuzma, Ingram, Ball or whoever they get, becomes championship ready, that they (meaning the lakers) will be able to get those players back. The deal then isn't even a trade, but more like an arrangement (they are telling new orleans, we are going to let you develop our players, thank you very much, we will be calling for them in a future date). Part of the problem is that New Orleans cannot attract few agents to play with AD, so it isn't as if the lakers are some genius franchise, it's more that they can attract the players to come to their team and new orleans can't. It's a sick reality.
I like kuzma he’s a good player. Ingram is overrated he hasn’t done anything for me to think he’s anything but a role player. And ball? I don’t even know what to think of him. I feel like he gets hyped up because his dad and he’s on the lakers. Everytime is watch him okay I think he’s boarderline even an nba player. Ya he puts up 9-5-5 but he shoots undwr 40%. MCW put up better numbers and look we’re hes at. Both talk PG although ball is more athletic and better defensively but still I think you guys get my point. Lakers assets arnt all that. If they can trade the for AD they would have already. I don’t think GMa care to mucus for anyone on the lakers other than kuzma and hart.
Yup, that "sad brow" in my sig is the worst kept secret in the league. He'll give his all no matter what. But, with that type of talent, where is his support? There isn't any. He won't ever say it, but he's ready to win. He had no ill will towards Boogie leaving, even though he and Boogie were great together. But, in today's game, do two dominant bigs win it all anymore? I don't know... The Pels, when they finally realize it, will take a youth movement and free the brow. There isn't a single player that you can pair with AD in New Orleans to make that team a contender. But, you can move AD to a team and that team becomes a contender overnight. I hope he gets out. ...And....I hope Morey picks up some of the leftovers
Don't forget Ainge and Morey like to work things out. There's some good Beandip in Boston to help us out, don't you think @J.R. ?
Yea but a lot of people say that the Lakers don’t want to trade Kuzma. They see him as a second to Lebron. Maybe Lonzo and Ingram but the lakers are being cheap and the Celtics would trade all their pieces needed to get AD.
Legit selfish post but the dynamics in the NBA does not work like that. If AD goes to New York, he will be damned though. Dat franchise is a poison pill.
cmon they were able to get him good players to play with him its juts that AD is not that good... he is hype more than substance...overrated as hell
Cod, I hardly disagree with you. You have great info for hungry fans like us, but I think Angie is the real slippery eel. He won't let the Rockets get the edge in any deal. Everyone fears that the Rockets will go into liftoff mode as soon as they can.
