The only way I would be interested in AD is if we were in position to win next year. That's not happening so it's a moot point. Even still, I would have strong reservations considering his injury history. I think we should target other players when the time is right.
Davis during his time as a Pelican: 2012-2013: 27-55; 16th in offensive rating and 28th in defensive rating; 4-14 w/o Davis and 23-41 with Davis 2013-2014: 34-48; 13th in offense & 27th in defense; 5-10 w/o Davis and 29-38 with Davis 2014-2015: 45-37; 8th in offense & 22nd in defense; 6-8 w/o Davis and 39-29 with Davis 2015-2016: 30-52; 18th in offense & 27th in defense; 4-15 w/o Davis and 26-37 with Davis 2016-2017: 34-48; 26th in offense and 9th in defense; 3-4 w/o Davis and 31-44 with Davis 2017-2018: 48-34; 10th in offense and 14th in defense; 3-4 w/o Davis and 45-30 with Davis 2018-2019: 33-49; 13th in offense 23rd in defense; 8-18 w/o Davis and 25-31 with Davis In 7 seasons, the Pelicans managed to finished above .500 with Davis on the roster twice. That 2017-2018 season was the year they traded for the good version of DeMarcus Cousins. Before the trade the Pelicans were 31-26. After the trade they went 17-8 with Cousins.
I know that some people aren't going to want to hear this..... but this is twice now, just in LA that LeBron has failed to even make the playoffs....
That's a really interesting fact. Missed the playoffs, championship, missed the playoffs. I'm guessing that's the only time in NBA history that sequence has happened.
the when doesn't have anything to do with it. none of those guys will be AD level in the next year or two.
Dwight Howard · Pau Gasol · Vince Carter · Dikembe Mutombo · Tony Parker · Tracy McGrady · Yao Ming · Penny Hardaway Manu Ginobili. Kyrie Irving. Paul George. Klay Thompson.
If AD could stay healthy, Lakers wouldn't even dream of trading him. Since AD can't stay healthy, why would we dream of acquiring him when he's always tripping over his own labia and missing weeks at a time?
What is AD level? Sounds subjective... was Luka or Trae there? Tatum? Seems like it's 2 to 4 years depending on the player..
there's nothing subjective about it. look at his resume. who on this team is touching that in a span of 1 or 2 years. and btw that doesn't need to be answered
Top 5? Morant Durant Embid Jokic Luka Giannis That's off the top of head, who are you taking off and replacing with AD? Tatum Brown Kat Booker Lebron
