re: In all seriousness, this all thanks to AD right?

Indirectly, yes.
Directly, no.
Gayle deserves all the credit in the world. Look at the reverse outcome. Jeanie Buss was also embarrassed in January and her reaction was to consolidate and strengthen her power.
Also, your second point flies in the face of the first one. If Klutch and AD aren’t so abrasive about this, this never happens. We should also thank Rich Paul and Lebron while we’re at it if we’re going this route. This thing needed to get turned up to 11 for all of this crap to happen. A quietly polite story doesn’t generate this response imo.

Yeah I didn't mean those to be mutually exclusive. Gayle certainly deserves all the credit. I just mean his trade request as the initial catalyst.
I don't think it does. Everyone was fine with ADs point at first. It got the ball moving knowing Dell had to go and everything else fell in place. No one blamed AD.
Then the trade deadline approached and it was made clear they wanted the Lakers. "It was all about winning" and his comments about at the All Star game about "how all 29 other teams are in play." As in he literally wanted to go anywhere else. That's when the tide turned and Nola fans said you know what screw this guy.
