Yet every time we play them with something on the line. They kick our asses every single time.

And many of those players we got we kicked to the curb. Josh Hart comes to mind. Hey the Lakers took the worse players on the league and made them the best. Reddish, Russell, Dinwiddle, Christian Wood(LOLOLL) Jaxson Hayes ( More loolol)

when you put those guys next to one of the best players to ever play the game, who is still performing at a very, very high level and demands that everyone else elevate their level of play, and sprinkle in a few guys that punch above their weight, yeah, it's no secret why those guys who were afterthoughts can become good role players....

I think we win in the long run, but until we beat them when it matters (Tomorrow) the trade isn’t hugely one sided as we sometimes make it out to be

Nance needs to come after Davis in beginning of the game. Not end of game.

2 seasons ago it went the other way.

That was back when Willie would play Val and Val would feast.

I think that the whole draft pick thing petered out long ago. When it netted you Jaxon Hayes at best it's a moot point. The Pelicans got a good young player in BI.

And the Lakers got a top 10 player in exchange.

Who will now be an overpaid 1 time all star and second best player on the team or get traded.

The hope was by now BI would be a better player than AD- he just isn’t.

I don’t think any of us thought this would be a possibility

Well of course they did. The Pelicans never had a chance to get fair market value for AD.

Naw.

The hope was he wouldn't have his career over, and that didn't happen. Then he took a huge leap. He just didn't take another HUGE leap.

It's not the trade. It's how Grif has continued to squander EVERY opportunity he's had with picks/players

Agreed. If we didn't luck into Zion, this is a bottom 3 team
