If they sign another max FA, you and I might be in the running to be some of those random non-2019 Lakers.Lebron+AD+Kuzma+FA+random non-2019 Lakers is pretty solid given the Warriors injuries.
At least my purple Kemba jersey will be close enoughFrom twitter - Kemba Walker will be a top target in free agency for the Lakers after they reached an agreement in principle to trade for Anthony Davis, according to league sources
We’d still win 55 games:confetti:If they sign another max FA, you and I might be in the running to be some of those random non-2019 Lakers.
Dustin Thomas might be looking for workIf they sign another max FA, you and I might be in the running to be some of those random non-2019 Lakers.
He'll battle back hard and be louder than ever these next few weeks initially, then he should fade off into irrelevance once and for all.I guess this means we won't ever hear of Lonzo Ball's dad ever again now that his son is in New Orleans.
John Paxson supposedly likes Lonzo Ball and thinks he would fit in real well with the Bulls. He also claims LaVine, Markkanen and Carter Jr. are off-limits, so it doesn't seem likely anything can get done without one of those players being involved.Wonder if the Pelicans are gunna flip some of these returns.
Imagine the Celtics giving Tatum and every other asset leaving AD and Hayward.I don’t think the Pelicans could have done much better.
Thought they did fantastic. They have endless options at this point.I don’t think the Pelicans could have done much better.
As a C's fan that would have been fine with me. Get the rebuild started. As it is, we're stuck in mid-2000's Hawks Josh Smith/Joe Johnson territory.Imagine the Celtics giving Tatum and every other asset leaving AD and Hayward.
Yikes
Is Jrue/Ball/Ingram/Williamson the worst shooting team ever* assembled?Thought they did fantastic. They have endless options at this point.
Ahything from using 4 to attach to Hill/Moore and moving down.....then getting a high level FA (or acquire existing player under contract in that deal). They have a #### load of cap space if they rid of Hill and/or Moore and Jrue/Ball/Ingram/Williamson to build around.
Jrue + Ball + Ingram + Williamson is only around $50 million for the upcoming season.
EDIT: There's a going to be a ####load of interest in that 4 pick.
happy for the Lakers that they got the guy they wanted, but i will be hammerring Lakers unders and fading Lakers galore for next year. What the hell does that team have left? I really hope it was Palinka and no Magic last year that made those moves.Lakers are now 7-2 favorites at Caesars to win the 2020 NBA Championship.
Woj needed to add that the Lakers traded Lavar away as well. That really helps the trade grade.Balls daddy already crying.
don't forget coach Vogel/Kidd. Lakers unders, here we come....Lebron+AD+Kuzma+FA+random non-2019 Lakers is pretty solid given the Warriors injuries.
He said AD can't dribble, can't shoot FT's and that in LA you had better perform because sugar turns into #### real fast.Balls daddy already crying.
He's a free agent after this upcoming season, he can jet.under discussed point of that AD trade is the 3 1st round picks. Let's say Lebron shows more wear and tear this year, what the hell is AD going to do for the next 5 years there?
lol, if he jets, Lakers will be the worst team in the league for how many years in a row?He's a free agent after this upcoming season, he can jet.
No worse situation than they've been in for the last 5 seasons.lol, if he jets, Lakers will be the worst team in the league for how many years in a row?
That is wild.·

That is insane. I was on the fence about this trade from LA's standpoint, but this will end Brooklyn bad, with even more bites at the apple for NO. As great as LeBron is, he sure seems to force franchises into bad decisions.·
