Anthony Davis, LeBron James Meet Up For Dinner After Game

[RealGM Wiretap]

LeBron James and Anthony Davis met up for a postgame dinner in Los Angeles following the Lakers' 112-104 win over the Pelicans.

The Pelicans were staying overnight in Los Angeles before traveling to Sacramento.

“I’d take legacy over money,” Davis told Yahoo Sports after posting game highs of 30 points and 20 rebounds to go with five assists in Friday’s loss. “I want to have a legacy. All my people that look up to me, the younger kids, I want them to know about AD’s legacy. Championships, the things I do in the community, being a good teammate, playing hard. All that stuff matters the most to me. Don’t get me wrong, money is amazing. But I think in that sense, money or legacy, I think my legacy will win that battle every time.”

If Davis declines the supermax, he will likely become a free agent in 2020, which will force the Pelicans to consider trading him.

Davis purchased a $7.5 million home in Westlake Village in Los Angeles County earlier this year.

Right now his legacy is that he is a top player that refuses to give up on the team that gave him his chance. That is an honourable legacy, although without a title, sure.

Looks like Lebron is convincing him to join the dark side and become pathetic just like he is. Take the easy route, form Super Teams, try to cherry pick titles and let history laugh at you. AD needs a new role model; all Lebron wants to do is use him like he did Kyrie. Maybe Lebron promises to let AD have some of the spotlight, who knows.

The extent to which Lebron is willing to go to try and cherry pick is pathetic on an all time level. History will laugh at how sad and scared of competition this guy is

Nba should block any free agent signing or trade that brings Davis to lakers

Players meet for dinner all the time, it just isn't every day that we know one is trying to bromance the other so he can ride his coattails as he ages

Agree 100%.

This is tampering on a whole new level.

And no honorable player from the 70's, 80's or 90's would have tried to recruit the enemy. Imagine the bad boy pistons trying to recruit Jordan or Magic trying to recruit Bird.

[Wo1verine]

Next CBA needs even more incentive to have superstar players to stay with small market teams.

Davis leaving New Orleans is a franchise killer.

Tampering should extend out to players


And make them take an oath like when you go up to the courts as a witness or stating a testimony


Klutch Sports and Lebron James have tampered so many times it ain't funny


Feel sorry for Pelicans and New Orleans...

And down the road I will feel sorry for Davis when Lebron takes more accolades from wins turn him to a better Javale McGee or a Chris Bosh v2. 0


Legacy??
If Davis wants legacy he should win a championship for Pelicans or some small team as the main man to lead them to their first ring


As a Laker he will just be another star amongst the dozens who've joined the Golden child (Lakers) of the NBA. Lost in crowd

Weren’t Kobe and Shaq supposed to be “lost in the crowd?” There were greats before them, but they both stood out on their own. It’s not about being lost in the crowd, it’s anout being a face for a new generation. And this generation has more ability to watch Laker games than most other teams.

Wow, the LeBron hating is oozing from some of you.

70s, 80s and 90s stars moved as well. Kareem, Pippen, Shaq to name a few. In the older days it was more teams trading their stars to different teams instead of them choosing their locations. Heck, even Kobe was shopping for houses in Chicago and would have signed there had the Lakers kept Shaq.

Stars from other teams have always been friends and I'm sure a lot of them have talked about one day playing together. They also just had harmless dinners together as friends. These days everything is just under a microscope with social media.

If the Pelicans want to keep AD, they sure aren't showing it. Cousins and Rondo should have been re-signed. Cousins is easily a top 5 center in the league and Rondo was key for them last season. Now they are in this limbo state where they can't really win any games even when AD scores 32 and grabs 20 boards. AD wants to at least be in the hunt, not missing the playoffs every other year.

Trade for Wall or Beal, or another star. Holiday is good, just doesn't get them over the hump obviously. They need to show AD they are willing to go all win to become a contender and as it is, at lot of the moves they have made are just playing too safe to try and maybe squeeze in to the playoffs and at best lose in the first round. If they keep doing that then he should demand a trade. This reminds me more of the Wolves and KG, where he was tired of losing and ended up moving to Boston to win.

Oh and if the Lakers play their cards right, they can actually get 3 stars, meaning AD would still have a partner in crime after LeBron hangs it up.

No body knows how AD's legacy will turn out to be. No you. not me. Everyone said Lebron was
going to be remembered as wade's Robin. We all know how that turned out.

[streets talking]

Last time kobe needed a big star to get a ring
The lakers traded for pau gasol and gasol gave them 2 championships
After that, when the triangle offense wasnt working anymore
They treated gasol like a scapegoat and got rif of him like his career was over
But next on the bulls gasol was averaging 20pts 10rebs with d.rose
And the lakers dared to try to trade for marc gasol .. and marc gasol refused to play for the lakers bcuz of the way they treated his brother and almost pushed pau to retirement

Then d12 was another disaster .. now goodluck davis if u cant keep bringing rings forever
Cause gasol got crucified once he failed to get a 3rd ring to their franchise player

Can we confirm that KD just as pathetic if not then I don’t get what the garbage you are spewing here. LeBron went to LAL to play with not one all star at this present time. If KD does that in NYK and were to court 2-3 all star the following year you would praise him for it. I just think you are so bitter towards LeBron and praise KD for the exact same thing which is very hypocritical. You have your opinion so I won’t argue with you but if you say one thing towards someone how isn’t KD pathetic for joining a 73 win team that he blew a 3-1 lead to in the WCF.

Draymond Green was known to be texting and talking to KD all season when he was about to be a free agent. Stop crying about the past when the supposed “greatest team ever” started this behavior

You have to remember who was running the team with the whole Gasol and D12 crazyness. I mean they picked DAntoni over Phil Jackson when DAntoni doesn't know how to use the post and the team had Pau and Dwight. Look at how they pitched LA to LA. Jimmy Buss had no idea how to run a team.

That's because LeBron went back to CLE and won a ring.
