Windhorst: If Giannis doesn't sign a Supermax, AD will sign a 1+1 deal in order to recruit Giannis to Lakers next year

[Drygon]

It makes absolute no sense for Giannis joining AD & 36-year-old LeBron when he can go to Dallas Mavericks instead.

Not only does Mavs have a better overall roster, but Luka and KP will be 21 and 27 respectively.

The summer the Lakers lost out on Kawhi, we talked about how Pelinka set the team up nicely by only signing the remaining free agents to 2 year deals. He's a good GM. Don't hate just because your teams aren't run as well. Especially after so many years of calling the Lakers a dumpster fire under Jim Buss. This is what a good front office looks like.

If joining NBA champion and all-world defender AD in his prime makes no sense to you then you should tune in to other games once in a while. Both teams would be good options.

[Michael Lucky]

Windhorst is a terrible source overall. Giannis could literally sign an extension anytime he wants.

AD is a fantastic player, but same goes for Luka who's also a much better next to Giannis.

The pick-and-rolls between Luka & Giannis would be amazing to watch.

Furthermore, the Mavs will be a Championship contender for entire 2020s decade (bar injuries).

Which I can't say for Lakers given to LeBron's advanced age.

Luka and Giannis both need the ball in their hands. I'm not sure if that's a better fit. AD isn't really a ball handler and Giannis would pretty much take over LeBron's role.

Wheres that guy at was ragging on me for being nostalgic about stars who stay with teams? :):)

If I was the Bucks front office then I would prefer having Giannis go to the Bucks instead of the Heat. That way, they can tank for a year or so, get the #1 draft pick, draft Bronny James, and then trade Bronny back to the Lakers for Giannis and AD or Lebron will demand a trade to the Bucks so he can play with his son lol.

Giannis is nowhere near close being an great playmaker like LeBron.

It's a myth that Luka needs to have the ball 100% of the time. He plays great with a secondary ball handler that can take off the pressure off him. Something Giannis can do. We saw that with Trey Burke starting in the playoffs worked great, I remember seeing Luka very tired at the end of games trying to create everything whenever he was the only playmaker.

The pairing of Giannis & Luka would most certainly be a fantastic fit.

[Packbuckman]

If Giannis leaves for the Lakers might as well just abolish small market teams. Just have the Lakers, Warriors, Heat etc. duke it out every year

Milwaukee has had Giannis under lock and key for 7 and going on 8 years thanks to CBA favours that hugely benefit small market teams.

Besides, there is zero correlation to large market teams and winning in the NBA - otherwise the Clippers, Knicks and Nets would have long, storied history’s of championships to gloat about.

And no one talked about the Warriors being in an advantageous ‘large market’ when they were on a 30-year run of being the worst franchise in the NBA.

That’s a bull analysis Giannis has only been this player the last two maybe three years. Those early years for Giannis was him growing up physically and mentally. No that he’s entering his prime years he should go to a big market that’s **** up!!

[homecourtloss]

Some people consider this clown a GOAT embarrassing

Still haven’t stopped crying I see.

[KyRo23]

Man, LeBron is getting a lot of hate for something that might not even be true, regarding two players who are not named LeBron. This site I tell ya, outstanding.

I sure hope you supported KD's decision.

Look at it this way, does Giannis have a better shot at being THE main guy on the 21 year old Luka's Mavericks or the 36 year old close to retiring LeBron's Lakers? Giannis and AD with a third option LeBron are contenders. Once LeBron retires do you think no one would want to play in LOS ANGELES with Giannis and AD?

[NoZoLakers]

This is just creepy to me.

Read on Twitter

I bet he will be totally happy, when some GM knows every hobby/likes/dislikes of his relatives, which doesn't sound stalkerish at all.

she grew up a Laker fan

[LAKESHOW]

Dawg, there's still alotta competition for his services, but if this Happens...We gonna wreck this league.

A guy like KP is completely irrelevant in this type of conversation. He’s not good enough to matter.

[_qubik]

This isn't happening. Giannis is above that. I think.

Yeah he will lose forever at Bucks Lebron doesnt have a lot of years left, he can play 1 or 2 seasons with him and AD and then keep a nice pairing with AD. I see it happening, and see no problem

[Young Stapler]

Man just the thought of Giannis joining Lebron and AD on the Lakers has just melted your brains . GB still in shambles what else is new

[Warriorfan]

What teams historically attract free agents.
