AD is showing just how much of a dumbass he really is. "I want to go to the Lakers because they've won championships" OK idiot...they've won exactly dick over there the past 10 years, and are the worst run organization in professional sports since the late 90's Saints. You're passing up big money here, and you pass on getting to play with the next instant star this league has seen in 5 years......just a tool all around who happened to hire the biggest tool agent one could find. Birds of a feather.

Teams need to blackball this guy - flat out cut and refuse to do business with any player he represents. He’s a cancer.

Honestly, I'd settle on any package with Tatum, either Smart/Brown, and a pick. Okafor, Zion, Tatum, Brown, and Jrue makes for an exciting young team.

I like Ingram a little more than Tatum but above all, I don't want to see AD in LA

So Boston wins

Apparently RP has just released a statement saying that AD will be a free agent in 2020 regardless of where he goes.

This is now a shot to ALL teams that are even thinking of trading for him not named the Lakers.


this is simply A-mazin

it makes me feel bad for AD. he's obviously dumb as shite (even more dumb than i thought) and Lebron is clearly mindfricking him

Lebron is freaking out behind the scenes and having Rich Paul lose his frickING MIND going scorched earth against any team who isn't LAL

at this point, i don't see how Silver can stay on the sidelines

I honestly don’t understand why Klutch’s other clients are leaving. It’s obviously Lebron first then everyone else. AD going to Boston checks all the right boxes (even more so than LAL) yet he is dead set on going to LAL.

there are clear conflicts of interest and tampering going on all over the play with Klutch/RP/LBJ so i have no clue how Silver unwinds it all

He was always going to be a free agent in 2020, the statement is nothingburger.

The LeBron is for sure melting, especially after the report came out that said that the Lakers were not a priority for any of the superstar free agents. AD is his most likely opportunity to play with a quality player next season. Otherwise they'll have to move on to other trade attempts, and maybe end up with Beal as a best case scenario for them.

How does that kill the Pelicans leverage....Boston needs Kyrie back, so they trade for AD. LA wants him...bidding war.

This pisses me off the most. You can't tell me that LeBron is "just" a client of Klutch. There has to be some financial interest there, and that is a conflict of interest.

He was "quoting" an average dumbass Laker fan that thinks everything kills the Pels leverage

Like others have said if AD doesn’t go to the LAL now then he probably won’t next year unless he takes a HUGE pay cut. Lebron will force the Lakers to make sone sort of FA/Trade for a high $ player(s) next season and it will eat up the available cash to sign anyone next year.

Durant getting hurt helped Boston tremendously bc that took Kyrie’s option of teaming up with KD in NY/Brooklyn off the table.

IMO, this whole fiasco isn’t painting AD as a villain but more of a simpleton minion of Klutch/RP/Lebron. I really don’t see how any of this actually improves his marketability.

I get how a “villain” is marketable but the public is supposed to hate the villain. I don’t really hate AD bc of this. I more just think he is an easily manipulated villain’s doofus sidekick. AD is basically Mr. Smee to Lebron’s Captain Hook.

frick this guy. How does Adam Silver and this NBA front office allow an agent to pull shite like this and blatantly attempt to torpedo trade talks while AD is still under fricking contract. David Stern would have shut Rich Paul's nonsense up a long time ago.
