If Anthony Davis is dead set against being here for whatever fool reason... what can you do?

I mean... he puts the Knicks on his list but not Boston?

I said the same thing.

But, @bksballer89 posted a old article about Garnett that was eerily similar to this situation.

This doesn't look like it will be a layup that the Lakers were hoping for.

By leaving Boston off "the list", this could all be another attempt to manipulate the Pel's into making a deal now... which has been the objective of the manipulators all along.

Should have done that to begin with.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

The real question is....

What jersey number will AD wear on the Lakers now that 23 is taken?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Should have done that to begin with.

Absolutely. But you cant start negotiations with the best offer.

Most of us knew it wasn't going to stay Lakers or bust.

He would have backed himself in a corner had he said I'm only signing in LA.

In this case, yeah they probably should have.

At the very least, they should have put in a respectable offer.

That reported proposal was absolute garbage.

So, it's no surprise that NOLA looked at offers elsewhere.

Now the price will be even higher.

I figured Magic would have learned from past mistakes.

Guess not.

kind of what i was saying

at least this offer would give them what they need-

1. young players

2. draft picks

3. cap relief

Kuzma, Ingram, Ball, KCP, 2 first rounders for Davis and Solomon Hill is at least a palatable offer that is not spitting in their face.

I love Magic but so far he hasnt proven himself to be good in trade deals yet.

He did a good job trading Clarkson and Nance for cap relief to get Lebron but so far messed up with Paul George and Kawhi.

I'm with everything except the cap relief. I guess it is what it is...but if we could get a 3rd team involved, that'd be nice

Yeah, that's why he needs to get this right.

I understand the " they go high we go low and then meet in the middle " strategy.

But, I think he should have gone all in before Davis extended his list.

On the e Brightside..

The Bucks and clippers have Shit assets.

So, it's still Lakers vs Celtics.

I mean....

I'd eat that Solomon Hill Shit sammich to get Davis....lol

 

[Mecca]

Listen, If the Lakers land Davis, so be it.

But, I can't wait to see how Lavar will react towards the Lakers and the Pelicans.

Dude....

Do you know who Amin Elhassan is?

On the Jump, he just told Paul Pierce that the reason Klutch/Davis is anti-Boston is because Danny Ainge likened LeBron to Donald Trump.

Make Los Angeles Great Again....lol

Yeah, at the end of the day, if that's the cost, then I guess you gotta do what you have to do

 

[dtgold88]

I'm, because the player i'd want happens to be a top 5 player in the league...?

lol we covered this YESTERDAY...

in your own words, "do try to keep up"...

yep...and the top 5 player gets hurt a lot. so I guess you don't care so much about injury. And continue to ignore what that Lebron fellow thinks of him.

 

[dtgold88]

At 30M per, the Cavs are stuck with him. Enjoy.

I'm sure we will as we did the last 4 seasons. Thanks for caring.
