It's not out of the realm of possibility that AD sees the shite show thats going on in LA and decides to stay in Boston or NY. Sure he and his dad don't want to go there but if its a more stable situation that can easily change

Look, if AD is really tired of not competing I'm not sure LA is really even in his best interest. In Boston he is competing for a finals spot.

LA is not beating GS as is.

If I'm purely speculating my bet is part of the pitch to AD with LA is that there are other parts in motion.

Including that they will lure a third(maybe fourth) star with the available cap space.

If it starts to look like that might not happen, I suspect the eyes will wander a bit and the mind will open.

And if I'm reading the landscape right now, I don't see Kyrie going to LA, KD and his increasingly inadequate feeling ego certainly isn't, Kawhi is perhaps your best chance but I think the Raptors are making a strong case right now(and he's shown more interest int he Clips than anything), Kemba maybe(but is it enough?), Klay probably not, Cousins maybe(but the Lakers weren't interested before). Then you get into the tier two guys like Jordan and Harris.

And as those players disperse, and some shockers happen, a lot of teams start looking appealing as well. Probably one or two we didn't expect.
