I wonder if all this was just a public response to the Lakers internally being hesitant on AD's extension...

I just don't think that Kyrie has the pull to make this happen. That essentially swallows up the Mavericks salary. And they'd have to part with some decent pieces of their future. Now if Luca came out and did this......then that would be something imo.

Hopefuly where there's smoke, there's a little fire. THIS is exactly what I wanna see happen. Let's move on from Lebron and AD. Get a couple picks, and a nice piece or two....and call it a day.

Kilroy, you prob nailed it. I bet this has Lebron's hands all over it.

Oh, and FFS......please don't get Harden. Once again...come on guys!! We just went through this with Brick! Selfish guy who plays HIS game, shoots his shots, and dominates the ball. Plays zero defense. Moved from team to team. Really did NOTHING to help either of those teams. Why in the hell would we want Harden?

My vote would be to try to dump LeBron for as many picks as possible, throw whatever AD wants at him to stay, and build around AD/Rui/Reaves/Vanerbilt/LW4 and maybe Bamba on the cheap... That's probably not a champion, but it might be a fun to watch playoff team if the cards aligned... And with enough picks, who knows what the future holds...

AD and LeBron are yesterdays news... Played out without adding a volume scorer, while keeping the youth brigade around them... Not impossible, but probably unlikely... Dame?

If you're getting picks for LeBron, may as well get them for Davis too. He has been hiding in Bron's shadow. He's not anyone build around.
