Will AD want to be traded after this?

[MizzouFalcon]

So....yes? I think yes.

LOL @buckalis

First stupid prediction already debunked.

Hadn't even logged in yet, lol. Wonder if he's gonna pull a move like Wiggy use to do and go missing for a few weeks.

I wouldn't complain if he does

What do you expect me to say? That I didn't expect the Lakers organization to end up selling the team to Clutch? I didn't...

How about:

I was spectacularly wrong

That would be a nice start

Kyle Kuzma (the last one remaining) tweeted:

"I just got mobbed in "Shanghai"... to "welcome" AD to the Lakers...

KCP is also with klutch... so he is expected to be a keeper...

You don't even have the balls to admit you are wrong.

We have been telling you since you got here that you don't know what you are talking about. But you pretend to have superior knowledge that you clearly don't.

Take your dose of humble pie and learn from your mistakes. Maybe then you can be something more than a joke around here.

a simple "I was wrong " will suffice...

 

[Black Adam]

i'll change it up a bit, though...

I've said that ages ago... I never could have imagined that the Lakers would decide on selling their entire organization to Klutch and Lebron...

It was a terrible trade in my opinion. The Lakers sold the ranch for a one year rental.

seemed to work out well for Toronto...

They offered more during the season. I find it funny that they're propping up Griffin for making a master deal, when this deal was offered to Demps last year (and better actually, because Kuzma and Zubac were included). The only thing Demps didn't know is where the Lakers' pick would fall for this draft, but he also didn't know that he had Zion locked up.

I fully expect the general consensus of this board to go from "The Lakers don't have good enough prospects to get the deal done over the Knicks and Celtics" to now be "Wow did the Lakers overpay." Whichever position that puts the Lakers in a bad light, lol....

I'll miss BI, Lonzo, and Hart, but I won't miss the Ball patriarch or those questions of whether these kids will ever realize their potential. Getting AD at 26, with a 5 year extension basically locked up next summer, is a HUGE get, and should draw another max type this summer, if the Lakers choose that path. They could also use that approximate max space to get a few pieces for better depth. I do hope they buy/trade their way back into the draft, even if it's just a second round pick. It'll make the draft more fun to watch (which I will do regardless, lol).

Yes it did but Toronto had a better team surrounding Leonard.

repost where you said you were wrong. i'll wait...

 

[Black Adam]

maybe so, but we still have to see where the rest of the FA pieces land. I mean, it isn't like the Lakers STILL have damn near 30 mil in cap space or anything...

LOL. AD is not a rental. He will re-sign with the Lakers next summer. He can't sign an extension for at least 6 months by NBA rules. He wanted this team specifically and has said he will re-sign with LA.
