Will Lakers Get AD?
 

Its between the Lakers and Celtics. I think the Lakers will pull it off.

Yes

Ingram, Ball (traded to third team), Kuzma, #4, Future Pick

Salary filler on either side depending on deal

I think that ends up happening if they can find someone to take Ball. Griffin doesn’t want him.

Yes..

Bronbron and AD are going to have to combine for 80+points a game and never miss time with the nobodies that are going to fill out the roster.
Playoff mode all the time

AD will be injured again (business as usual) and LeBron will be alone at home again.

I'm afraid of this as well. :coffee:

Lakers can certainly offer the most stuff. But if I'm the Pels, I trade him to somewhere outside the Western conference. Send him out East. Kawhi has shown that a one-year rental in the Eastern Conference is plenty valuable. Best offer from an Eastern Conference team - done!

No, I’ve been told LeBron can drag a team of nobodies to the Finals...

They’ll have max cap space you know

Kyrie, LeBron, Davis could win a few games...

Kyrie in BK?

Butler, LeBron, Davis could win a few games

I hate the Lakers but people need to do the math

This is such a stupid concept every time it comes up

Take the best offer

Zion isn’t winning a title before LeBron retires if you trade him West

Nah. Blind hatred produces much more desirable projections

Truth

I hate the Lakers

LeBron I’m “meh” at this point

If they get Davis? That’s massive with their cap space. This isn’t middle of last season

Kyrie, Kemba, Butler, Russell, etc... I’ll ignore Kawhi

If they get someone to pair with LeBron and Davis (not just Bron Bron) that’s huge

im just wondering what a Trio of Lebron/Kuz/Davis could really do? they still need shooters. do they have room to sign a few after a trade like this? (i havent looked for myself specifics of the team overall, forgive me)

I don't know why and maybe I shouldn't but I kind of like the idea of a James, Davis, Butler trio.

I think getting the 4th pick really helps LA get Davis (obviously), but I do worry about Boston ponying up with Tatum, or maybe a random team like Denver jumping in.

Butler, LeBron, Davis is a legit 3

They can fill that roster out in LA

Yes the Brow will head to Lakers. No other team can offer a better package. Hoping Kyrie joins too!

LA could end up making the Warriors "big 3" look average with the way some you guys are talking in here lol

Examples that aren’t realistic?

Or are you just trolling...

Rhetorical

How isn't Lebron/AD/Kyrie realistic?

LeBron is signed
Lakers trade Kuzma, Ball, Ingram, #4 for Davis
Lakers have max cap space and sign Kyrie since Durant is hurt and probably isn’t going with Kyrie anywhere

That was super easy. Barely an inconvenience

Exactly. That's my point. Not sure if you understood what I meant. Lebron may have AD and Kyrie, yet people will not throw a fit because it's lebron. KD teamed up with Steph and Klay and it was looked at like he "ruined the league" and "his rings are cheap and don't count," ... but lebron having AD and Kyrie will just show how great he is lol.

Not sure what you are trying to say... sounds like I don’t really care because it’s off topic

My point is simply that the Lakers can be really good really fast if they get Davis

They have cap space, even after him, people ignore

If you’re saying that’s Warriors like? I guess... as if the Lakers made the playoffs

The difference is Durant went to the already stacked team and LeBron is constructing his own.

Didn’t hear many people bashing Curry because Durant chose to sign there.

And scene

If LeBron trade his whole team for Davis? And gets Kyrie/Butler to sign?

Opposite of Curry

Warriors were not stacked before Durant got there. And I guess I really don't care that the Warriors were already a made team before Durant got there. Lebron/AD/Kyrie would be better than Durant/Steph/Klay, yet the Warriors get crucified for their team, while we all know lebron will be praised for his. Just doesn't make any sense to me. To each their own though. People will love/make excuses for people they love and hate people they hate.

Won't ever understand the "self-made stacked team" vs the "drafted guys that became good and signed a superstar stacked team." They both end up being completely stacked teams, but one is 100% ok and one is 100% wrong?

I'm also curious to see if the same guys that complained the past few years because the NBA was too predictable because the Warriors would win would feel the same if LA were to get their big 3.
