Is there anywhere better for AD to win a ring than New Orleans in 2021?

    New Orleans has the most improved player in Ingram, a great PG Lonzo, generational talent Zion, a great draft pick this year, many firsts in the future that they got in the lakers trade.

    They could easily flip all of their own and Lakers' picks into two all star players. You'd have AD, 2 all stars, Zion, Ingram starting. That is a legitimate Big 5.

    The bigger question is whether he would need armed security 24/7 whilst in the city of LA.

    Is AD a free agent after this season?

    si wey

    On Tuesday, the Lakers offered Davis a four-year, $146 million max extension, but his agent Rich Paul informed the team he would decline and instead enter free agency, where he can earn a five-year, $202 million max contract this summer. The news was first reported by Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.Jan 7, 2020

    When did Lonzo become a great PG?

    Did you mean Jrue Holiday? Has to be the most underrated really good player in the NBA

    After the bad blood between AD and the NO org, I doubt either side would want to reconciliate.

    AD is overrated and a loser...if he’s your best player, there will be no title

    I would rather he win a ring with N.O. than the Lakers. But really, I dont want him to win a ring at all unless he is playing for us :)

    That's a lot of money, during a pandemic, where stadiums aren't even sure they can sell tickets.

    I put miami at #2 because miami won't be able to have 3 superstars and 1 MIP all star in their starting line up.

    LeBron wanted to go back to Cleveland.

    Cleveland would be idiots if they didn't at least try for one of the greatest players of all time.

    I doubt NO wants AD back. And I doubt AD wants to go back.

    Watching The Boys got me thinking about that thing people say, never meet your heroes because they'll rip your head off. Something like that.

    Well, Anthony Davis's hero growing up was LeBron James. The only way he leaves is if he was severely disappointed by who LeBron truly is. But then again, LeBron might be like those women who don't show their true selves until you marry them. So he's playing nice until Davis puts a ring on it by signing that extension.

    AD is basically bosh in the playoffs. Best suited as a number 3. No alpha dog in him.

    There was only one ball to go around on the heat. If it was lebron and Bosh he could’ve put 25 and 12 as well.

    numbers are one thing but AD is not a good option in the clutch. Not elite offensively to get you a bucket as a number 1 or 2 option. Lakers down there stretch really gotta rely on lebron to be superhuman in creating
