All about increasing risk tolerance if your ultimate goal is championships.

Let’s says odds of him staying are 25%, and AD, Zion and Jrue have let’s say 50% chance of making the finals over the next three years.

If ultimate goal is championships, you have to take that risk, right?

I would think the odds of obtaining another elite talent like Davis is much smaller than 25%. But the floor is much higher by playing it safe.

In what universe are you getting the math for “25%” coming from, without any kind of commitment beyond this season?

Let’s look at the evidence:

He changed agents to Klutch Sports and bought a house in LA this past offseason. The implication being that this plan was put into motion then.

Mid season, just two weeks before the deadline, he blew up the franchise by letting his new agency leak that he wanted out, and would only go to LAL, and didn’t even talk to ownership about it.

His father, once news that the Pels wanted to talk with Boston, told ESPN that AD would never sign with Boston in order to sabotage that and force the trade to LA.

He flipped off a home fan.

He deliberately wore a TShirt saying “that’s all folks” in the last game.

After Griffin was hired, his intermediaries leaked to Woj that he still wanted out.

After the Pels won the 1 pick, he let leak to multiple insiders that he still wanted out.


In what universe is it in any way rational or responsible or “a gray area” to go into the season without any future considerations?
