I am hoping that AD does the same thing that LeBron did after his last year in Miami. Look around at the aging, shallow team and realize they are capped out and cannot improve, and jump ship. I don't want him back here, but I want him somewhere else.

It would literally be the greatest thing that has ever happened in the NBA

In AD’s case, I have a feeling that the pressure of being the face of the Lakers, as well as taking all the blame while LeBron gets all the credit, will wear on him.

Only problem is that I don’t see it working in one season. 2-3 years of it if he does 1+1s and he will bolt.

They're currently panicking and trying to dump players just so they can afford another max salary player..

it sounds to me like they don't believe AD measures up as the #2 they need -- either on the court or in front of LA media

but yeah, sure.. Once they have movie-star Lebron James and Uncle Drew star Kyrie Irving, they'll definitely prop 'mouth full of marbles' Anthony Davis as the face of the franchise!

AD is an idiot for listening to any of the people that convinced him he is anything more than a talented basketball player.

He'll end up being LBJ's whipping boy before long. I don't think AD really knows what he's gotten himself into.

Maybe one of his endorsements could be a dentist to fix that fricked up grill of his.

I really hope AD is pressured into giving up his kicker. No super max, no trade kicker and no 3rd superstar to play along side him and his idol.

Can't imagine what incentive the Pelicans could agree that Pelicans allow the Lakers to improve their team with a max player. We're invested in their failure so why make them better?

I don't even want Kuzma, just loosen some protections on those first and throw in an extra one


What protections? The only protection is the one where the pick must be in the top 8 or we can defer.

They’re gonna have 4 guys on their roster (after a max deal) with no cap space remaining if that works
And no draft picks to acquire vet role players in trades.

I don't think they should get another max unless it's Kawhi or somebody absurdly good. I'd pass on Butler and Kemba and look for role players.

Which tells me that Griff is saying "frick you" every time Pelinka asks him to wait until July 30th.

i think even Pelinka is smart enough to know NOT to even try to ask for that...

i sincerely hope Rich Paul had a bunch to do with the timing and agreement, so they can finally see how stupid this asshat is too...
