NOPE. AD is NOT getting traded this offseason. This is confirmed from a source, the source is @buckalis

Quite a smart source too, since he was able to predict that CAA would do all in their power to surround Zion with a capable to compete roster from day 1 and also that the Pels would NOT trade AD for picks or would want a rebuilt that all of the rest of you suggested at the time...

If the Pels were to opt for a rebuilt, they would be better off to keep Davis and have lesser spots to fill (only a PG)... Now they have a complete and young roster that includes an All Star PG too...

No Knicks, no Celtics, no Lakers, no picks and no rebuilts that all of you were suggesting in your basketball ignorance...

You even kept humiliating yourselves by trolling the importance of Zion signing with CAA would have for the Pelicans being competitive soon, which I was smart enough to spot and brought up...

So who is the winner here? The one that predictated that the deals all of you suggested, the Pelicans would reject, or the rest of you that suggested deals which the Pels DID reject?

You're the winner. The guy who predicted AD would not be traded is the obvious winner when he gets traded.

The Pelicans have not rejected anything yet.

The teams listed were considered the favorites. But all that any of us said was that AD would be traded somewhere.

You said he would not be traded and would eventually sign an extension.

So you lose.

You are the obvious loser. AD will be the winner bc he will be traded like you wrongly predicted.

Of course I am the winner... the guy that predicts that AD won't be traded in a conversation that includes the Lakers, the Celtics, the Knicks and little of Toronto and Clippers as possible destinations, but no NETs whatsoever.

What even makes me a winner by far, is that I predicted the role that CAA would play in surrounding Zion with a capable roster and even stated that "Ideally CAA will want to pair DA Russell with Zion" in exact words...

Actually, the only thing you literally accuse me on, is that I did NOT predict that the NETs would come up with this loosing for them deal.

You might be too young to remember him, but Google "Baghdad Bob" from the 2003 Iraq war. You're like him but less credible.

You said Davis would not get traded

He is going to get traded.

You saying he would not get traded was stupid.

Your stupidity will be confirmed when he is indeed traded, which anyone with a functional brain knew would happen.

You said he would not be traded (TO THE TEAMS UNDER DISCUSSION),and would eventually sign an extension.

So you lose.

Actually Crabbe's trade to the Hawks suggests that the deal with the NETs IS OVER!!!

Otherwise why loose the picks since there is already enough cap space to sign Kyrie?

Obviously you had too much of masturbation that caused you that brain damage...
It's one of the logic science's fundumentals (which you obviously ignore) that in a conversation you only comment on the argument under discussion... which was never "AD gets traded to the NETs" in this case...

If you were such a genius, then maybe you should have said something like:

"The only way AD gets traded is to a team like Brooklyn for a star and some other pieces"

But you didn't say that.

Instead, you said:

No chance AD is traded this summer, 90% he signs an extension.

Again, you are not a genius and you are completely and totally wrong.

Just like you are wrong about the Bucks trading for Paul George or signing Middleton for 22 million a year or less.

Not going to happen.

This is your post fuckstick:

"Pels aren't delusional... Lakers fans are... AD will resign with the Pels."

2019 NBA Lottery And Draft


you said AD will resign with the Pels. That was fucking stupid. He is not going to resign with the Pels. If he DOES resign- i will give you all the credit in the world, but its not gonna happen. And when he is inevitably dealt, you will look stupid.

My only quibbles with this are:

1. He already looks stupid
2. He actually is stupid

It rather is exactly the opposite conclusion one should come up with...

Why did they rush to give the picks away then, if they were not SURE that they'll have TWO max contracts coming in?

They already had enough cap space for one max contract without dumping Crabbe's salary and even after they've dumped it, they still need to let Russell go as to be able and integrarate a second max...

It rather means that they are ABSOLUTELY SURE they'll get one max out of free agency and another max out of a trade that includes moving Russell.

CAA has done an excellent job here as to pair Russell with Zion in the Pelicans and even surround them with more talented youth on J.Allen.

Griffin couldn't be happier either... He gets a competitive starting roster on Russell, Holiday, Zion, Randle and Allen which is the youngest in the league and even has good depth to support them... Additionally he avoids having to rebuilt around Zion, and has his cashier full of "green"

As usual, you look at everything backwards. Griffin just laid out his framework for what he is looking for. 2 first round picks, and all star, and a promising young player. The Nets just failed the first round pick portion COMPLETELY. Add in the fact that AD still has only said he would re-sign with the Lakers and Knicks to date, and what team is going to give up all of that on what could turn out to be a rental? This is a two horse race unless some GM makes a desperation move, which could still mean it's a two horse race next summer to sign AD in free agency.

Kyrie needs to bring a big brother with him, because he found out that he can't handle the pressure of being the man. He's trying to get KD (Kyrie's first choice, prior to tonight's injury anyway - Achilles?) to follow, so the Nets opened up cap space for him.

Griffin said an AllStar + a potencial AllStar + 2picks in a sliding deal (means the better the player, the "weaker" the picks can be)... Therefore ehat he values most is the players first and then the picks... which is the logical approach too because what he would want first, is to endup with a complete and competitive starting roster.

Therefore DA Russell and J.Allen are miles ahead of what anybody else can offer him as far as the players are comcerned, because other than filling up the criteria of AllStar + potential AllStar, they are playing the exact positions the Pelicans need to feel as to end up with a complete and competitive starting roster...

But Griffin didn't specify that the picks have to be out of this upcoming draft, or out of a future one... Ideally, if the Pelicans can end up with a complete and competitive roster, they would want their better picks to be a season before Holiday's contract expires...

The sliding deal affects all components. Thus, the better the picks, the less the importance of the all star as well. Nobody can match the potential of the Lakers #4 and a #6 or #7 (potential Suns or Bulls offer for Ball).

Nobody is giving up an all-star. DLo was a replacement all-star, wouldn't have been one had everyone been healthy. He certainly wouldn't be one in the West. Also, he would have to agree to be traded to the Pels, as he isn't under contract. I doubt the Nets offer up Allen either.

We'll see how it all goes down within this next week, as it appears Griffin wants this wrapped up before the draft. Should be interesting.

You do realize he ALSO said he wants to make this deal before the draft lol. The Nets can't make that offer before the draft. Cmon use that pea brain of yours.
