Is this serious or is it a joke? Two between Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma, Zubac, Hart and 1st rounder...lol. Time for the Rockets to offer House and 4 picks, might be enough...
The Pelicans should really refuse to deal with the Lakers all things considered, screw them just like the Pacers and the Spurs did, don't be the first idiot to help them.
If I'm New Orleans, I make it a point to trade AD to ANYONE BUT the Lakers....even if that means taking less than LA offers....and then make it known that they did this to protest player tampering. What exactly do they have to lose anyways? Small market teams have been getting screwed for years by organizations like the Lakers. Make a statement and live with it.
The Lakers yesterday were full on media campaign to destroy Boston and now this new leak is the counter attack. The NBA has reached a point where you can watch slandering campaigns and chess matches in real time through twitter.
If the Pels perception is to do as much damage to the Lakers as possible they trade AD to LA and get some good assets in turn. AD could pull a Dwight and bolt in FA as well. Nothing is set in LA.
