Has any "Super Star" ever been scammed as much as AD

If they win a ring it'll all be worth it to him

What people fail to realize about these super teams is that you still need role players to compete for the title.

Even Golden State had some of their low key players contribute during the playoffs, as did the Heat when LBJ was there.

The Lakers roster will seemingly be 3 stars and a bunch of people that are bagging groceries today (inb4 John Starks)

The 4 million was his payout to wear 23. You don't think Lebron gave it to him for nothing.

Not really a super star, but Nerlens Noel comes to mind.

-Rejected Dallas' offer 4 years / $70 million in 2017 offseason

-Fired his agent and signed with Klutch

-Ends up resigning with Dallas for 1 year / $4 million qualifying offer

-Plays for $1.7 million in OKC last year


Would've made around $35 million over the past 2 years and instead made less than $6 million. Thanks Klutch

Now Lebron/Lakers convince AD to forgo $4,000,000

He forced the trade, he basically broke his contract and was not owed that money as far as I am concerned. He would have hamstrung the dumbass team that traded for him if he took the cash.

Not sure how these players get away with not abiding by the CBA, their end of the agreement, and then have the audacity to call out the owners as if they are getting shorted.

AD didn’t get bullied, he got manipulated because he is weak

They won't win shite, Golden State isn't going anywhere

I wish AD nothing but the worst.

It will be hard for anyone to make me dislike them more than Davis.

The only thing I could see topping this is if Zion pulls a similar stunt or god forbid, Jrue shatters everything I think about him as a human being (like gets arrested for domestic violence or something).

Only then, it’s because the higher you are, the further the fall. AD had always seemed like a decent guy, so this one sucked, but Zion/Jrue give off an entirely different vibe. AD has always been a decent dude with a little primadonna (I don’t want to play 5, you drafted Nerlens Noel?!, Etc). I don’t want to downplay the efforts Davis put in NOLA at times, but goddamn getting swindled by Lebron James, one of my least favorite personalities of all time, is just a knife to the gut. Quitting on the team. All of this bullshite.

We had a team talented enough to do some damage last year. With the injury to KD, I think it’s very feasible the 17-18 version of the Pelicans could have beaten the Warriors. The West was weak last year, we returned the playoff team minus Rondo plus Payton/Kenrich/Randle.

I’m unbelievably satisfied with the end results. I mean we landed Zion, how can you not be? But as we keep learning more and we see how the West was won this year, Davis really pissed away a golden opportunity for his brand, the franchise, the fans...all for Lebron James because LBJ needed him or the Lakers situation was going to be a waste of the last few years of his career according to LBJ.
