What makes you think Magic will find a way to make it happen?? LeBron is in LA because LeBron WANTED to be in LA all along, and he had set up his FA accordingly. Anthony Davis is clearly doing the same thing, but the big difference is AD isn't a FA until after NEXT season. LeBron will be 36 then, and if the Lakers don't acquire another star in the meantime, I could easily see AD change his mind. Paul George also really wanted to be in LA....didn't happen. Kawhi supposedly really wanted to be in LA....didn't happen. AD might very well end up in LA, but it won't be because of Magic making things happen.
Dude..lay off the pipe. Oladipo got hurt, but he had his team 3rd in the East. He is better than CP3 at this point.
Um...lol. They don’t want CP3. Go asked their fans on the Pelicans message board. Ask any NBA writer. Hell, they might even say it themselves.
Lol no he didn’t you watched okc that year and you couldn’t tell me you thought he was gonna be a star
2 words: Russell Westbrook. He sucked all the air out of the room. Why KD left. He was hurting the development of Oladipo. Hell...He hurt James Harden. He may have finally figured out that he can’t be the selfish player and win with George.
Knicks have a better chance to land Davis on May 14 than Lakers IF they win #1 overall pick. Lakers have to do it now.
@Mr.Scarface I feel like you are making assumptions. If Team X trades (quality parts of their current team) for Jimmy Butler/AD then they are guaranteed pick #29 or #30.... Every draft thereafter. What is pick #29 this year is not the number pick in the draft every following first round pick we offered. Variables could change things: 1) Harden gets injured and the teams bottoms out and gets picks # ?10? . 2) Player traded for demands trade: Kawhi Leonard or Butler or AD (to Lakers) .....team bottoms out and Pels then get top notch pick. 3) Chemistry sucks.....team bottoms out and Pels then get prime top notch pick. 4). You said CP3 is too old......then his production falls off the cliff and the Pels get a better pick than you claim. Celtics were 2nd in the East last year....this year they are 5th seed in the East. Stuff happens. Looks like AD is telling teams he will only re-up with Lakers. So if Boston waits until this summer and Lakers don’t make the move by the trading deadline......then the Rockets are in with all the other teams trying to rent him. https://nba.nbcsports.com/2019/01/2...o-put-out-word-hell-re-sign-with-only-lakers/ Cost becomes much less. Rockets are right there then.
There is more FANTASY in this post than in Harry Potter. The Pelicans are going to bank on Harden getting hurt...LOL. Harden demanding a trade from a system he is Born for...LOL. Boy.....there is alot of what ifs....
The Pels think just AD and Harden are going all the way to the promised land by themselves and be forced to pick #29th You are talking in more fantasy than anyone. You claim CP3 and other Rockets are trash. You speaketh from forked tongue the most.
I noticed you didn’t argue the Celtics have developed chemistry issues.....because that fantasy has come true.
. .and there is no Santa Clause .. . nor Easter Bunny and Jessica Rabbit is a cartoon .. . and . . .and and . . . YOU KIDS GET OFF MY YARD!!! IKR Rocket River
If we made judgments on a player after performing poorly over 5 games Harden would be a Thunder/Warrior/Wizard
