Ball, Ingram and Hart plus draft picks. Marc Stein is reporting Lakers became prime destination once Celtics
refused to include Tatum in any deal.
LMAO. If they traded AD when I told them too, they could have gotten two more players (Kuzma and Zubac). I don't know who runs these mickey mouse organizations but I told them no one is going to match that Laker deal, they were fuckng dreaming and they ended up taking less than they could have gotten. Congrats, Pels, you helped fucked up our season and ended up fucking yourselves, too.
Demps sabbataged the negotiatations.
They gave up too much

I know everybody has had it with all this AD stuff but let's not forget this guy can basically do whatever he wants down low.
If you're the Lakers, you do exactly what you just did to get somebody like that. Ball, Ingram can ball but they wont be leaders and players that change the game. AD is that guy. Lakers should be favorite because they will be very tough to guard.
AD going to the Lakers tells me Kyrie isn't resigning with Boston, Danny Ainge would have included Tatum in a deal if he had the assurance that Kyrie would be staying, then build around Kyrie and AD, but by letting AD go to the Lakers, that means Kyrie is leaving. David Griffin was forced to take the second best offer since the Celtics package was his first preference, Griffin is enamored with Tatum and he was the guy he really wanted, but it made no sense for Ainge to make the deal for AD without Kyrie also being there. It now appears that Kyrie is headed to Brooklyn, since he can make more money by resigning in Boston, I'm thinking a possible sign and trade with the Nets, Kyrie for Russell, the Celtics will be looking for a PG and Brooklyn would probably have to move Russell, so it makes sense, Boston can then build around a young core of Tatum, Russell, and Jalen Brown. I heard the package Ainge was willing to offer was Tatum, Marcus Smart, Robert Williams, possibly another young player, and the 14th pick, and possibly another first rounder, which is much better than what he got from the Lakers. It's crazy that the Celtics have been accumulating a lot of assets between young talent plus picks and the plan all along has been to eventually cash in some of those chips for a star, the C's could have traded for Paul George, Jimmy Butler, or even Kawhi, but Ainge was targeting AD the whole time, but at this point it made no sense to make that deal, especially when Rich Paul had recently said AD would not resign in Boston, there's no way Ainge could give up a king's ransom for a one year rental
It’s not that he went to the Lakers, it’s all of the backroom and side deals between the agents and players. The Lakers are more just a front. It’s all about LBJ trying to win a title for his ego at the expense of destroying the Lakers future down the road. The only brand loyalty to him is himself.
So many fools still left on the forums. Remember when whats his face came to the Lakers? The guy who wore the superman cape? Werent they supposed to win 80 games that year? Davis is Kevin Love 2.0 (like I said at Peeps) he actually isnt even as good as Kevin Love was. James will ruin him too. James is another failing aging guy who thought he was the next Michael Jordan. Reality set in last year and we saw what happened. After 20 games next year and Lakers 10-10 youll see the same shit from this guy again.
Lakers MIGHT not be a lottery team because many guys in west seem to be looking to head east so west might be weak conference next year. So theyll benefit from that.
The best part is once the shit hits the fan, Davis wont re-sign with the Lakers and will just use them as leverage for a max-out deal somewhere. Or I suppose he could force Lakers hand and tell them to trade James and he will stay. I mean, after all, myopic egomaniacs are welcome in Lakerland and he will just be the next in the long line of guys who went to the darkside there.
Anyone who thinks Kevin Love is a better basketball player than Anthony Davis shouldn't be allowed to post anything basketball related, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. And of course AD will resign with the Lakers, this is the place he wanted to be, he might be a Celtic right now if not for the fact he told Boston he would never resign with them.
what are they building around AD with? They traded a bunch of 1st rounders.How did the GOAT destroy the Lakers future? AD is 26, he's a top 5 player still in his prime, he'll become the face of their franchise in a few years when the GOAT retires, the Lakers will then build around him, this trade was a win for LA, and will be even after the GOAT is no longer there

Lets say LBJ decides to retire after next season, whose to say AD wouldn't want to go somewhere else?
Stein reporting Kemba next Laker target.
If I were the Lakers I'd go after Jimmy Butler

They didn't even have to give up Kuzma, and those 1st round picks, except this year, will be in the lower half of the first round.
Obviously he’s not, but this will be the 1st time he’s not the top option, unless LBJ is giving up that role.I stopped reading this post at "Davis is Kevin Love 2.0 (like I said at Peeps) he actually isnt even as good as Kevin Love was". Some people just can't help themselves.

I like Love as a better complement to LeBron than Davis...they did win a ring which I doubt Davis & LeBron ever do regardless who is at pg. But as Kane pointed out...you can build around Davis in future. Love is not that type of franchise commodity.

Quit being a fanboy for five minutes. Their egos could stop each other. Wasn’t Boston the next dynasty just last year? Shit happens that can’t be explained at this time.Who the fuck is going to stop them? Can you at least tell me that?
