Anthony Davis Discussion: Thanks For The Ring AD!!!

3 1st round picks BI Kuz KCP

 

Carmelo Anthony Davis

Just throwing that out there. Sounds like there will be a few open roster spots if this goes down.

Can you wrap your mind around the roster transformation that would have happened in a year with the new crew if that happens?



(Just another day at the office)

***That being said, I'm glad I'm not too attached to any of our young players. Hart had the potential, but has fallen off a cliff. I'm strangely indifferent, but at least Brow is gifable***

 

Can't believe we have 10 days of this lol

 

Sparing one of BI, Zo or Kuz in a trade would be Klutch AF.

Anyways, if we trade for AD, all is not lost in the 3max player grab.

KD, Kawhi, Kyrie and Butler all have player options. Think of how CP3 used HTown's 21m in potentially available cap space as a way to leverage the cLips to trade him, with his bird rights in tow. LA will potentially have about 30m in cap space next summer after an AD trade at the deadline.

Also Nawlins may want to get off bad contracts like Moore & Solomon in an AD trade and LA has a boat load of expiring deals to make that happen. They would leak into 2019 free agent spending, but again if those free agents force some trade action, we're back in business.

this would actually be pretty funny, and suck

 

id give em kuz but holding out to replace zo with bi....zo is the only 2 way player in the group imo

 

Interesting timing. Something interesting brewing here.

 

i think i said when zo got injured that it may have helped pave the way for the lakers to ramp up the AD pursuit. as long as NO owns their pick, they should tank super hard in the wake of an AD trade. having your trade return laid up is helpful in that venture.

btw, i'd forego all the cap space next year in a mammoth deal for davis AND holiday. of course, that's kind of insane and would take half the roster just to match salaries.

anyway, put everything on the table and threaten to be more conservative if this bleeds into the summer. best you can do.

 

Thanks for making me spit my soda all over the place lol

 

i cant put blame on zo this yr for a random ankle sprain....hes getting it together before that. bi is just meh at everything n i doubt bi has more trade value than Zo, i know random other fans dont like him due to loud mouth pops but gms know he plays the right way, minus ft of course

 

We really don’t have the leverage that we had when PG/Kawhi “demanded” a trade to LA. We can’t just threaten to keep our assets and sign AD in free agency. That would require us to hold off on the current free agent class to preserve cap space for 2020, and waste another year of Lebron. Not gonna happen.

We have to trade for him, and it has to be now. If you can keep even just one player between Zo, BI, Kuz, and Hart, you do it in a heartbeat. All the future firsts we have. Any of the Pel’s choice of our other young guys like Zu, Wagner, Svi, etc. Pretty much everything should be on the table.
