Go look at r/nba, which is heavily anti-Lakers, and the majority of that sub is shitting all over Dell Demps and the Pels right now, with many of them calling their front office incompetent and blaming Davis wanting to leave on their incompetence.


The majority of NBA reddit is Lebron fanboys.

nyk with Zion and then trading that pick to the pels (this is like 5%)

It's 14%.

b) bostons "picks" with brown/tatum which they will never give up esp if Kyrie leaves (10%)

According to whom?

C) bucks can give the pels...a back rub? Im not even sure.

No one has entertained the thought of trading him to the Bucks. Not even Klutch. They were listed because everyone knows they can't trade for AD.

D, etc) ?

Why does there need to be other offers? Boston and NY are good enough leverage to pass on any Laker offer right now.

I do not understand why you continue singling our Lakers fans like we do not understand how trades or the salary cap works tbh.

It’s centered around a general hate for the Lakers around here. I was once one of those guys

That hatred can have a way of clouding people’s judgment.

No fricking Pel fan on this board is blaming AD wanting to leave on AD alone. It's a total failure of the organization, Dell Demps, Alvin Gentry, and Davis.

- I say the nyk scenario is 5% because you not only have to hope they win the draft you THEN need to hope they trade that pick to you. (I don't think they do this)

And like it said, your only hopes are Zion and Tatum. Those are the only assests really worth a shite, right?

And the odds are just so low there dudes, especially with Zion

So you're passing up an okay deal from the Lakers to gamble, correct? But it's not even a 50/50 chance for either scenario

lavar is on the radio in PHX. It's going as you'd expect:

For once, the Pelicans front office is putting on a master class in trade negotiations for a small market team.

Thankfully it's not just Dell making the decisions.

We don't know that. This could all be Dell.

Explain how please.

By hoping you get Zion/Tatum?

Is that the master class here: pray for a miracle?
Honestly curious

It has be explained to you ad-nauseam by multiple posters. You already know how, but you refuse to see the logic.

By not trading your player until the entire market takes shape.

Which is what this entire thread has been trying to tell you.

By not yet doing something dumb?

Pretty low bar. There's still time to the deadline, and if the Knicks miss winning the lottery, you're stuck dealing with the Celts vs Lakers.

I think it's funny that Pels fans are confident that Dell will bend Ainge over in a trade. Ainge might have the best record in trade screwjobs of any NBA GM ever, but Dell is going to extort him come summer.

No. The only thing explained is that you're hoping for the NYK #1 pick or Tatum

That's wish casting.

But okay carry on dude

Like I said. You're gambling. At least you admit it.

Problem with this gamble is that the odds are currently against youu

I don’t think you understand the concept of leverage.

Right now, the Lakers have very little. The Pelicans have nearly all of it.

If Boston wants to have AD/Kyrie in their division for the next five+ years, great. I hope Tatum was worth it. But I imagine the thought of AD/Kyrie playing in Boston is much more appealing than keeping Jason Tatum and their stable of picks.
