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

Lebron winning a championship with AD and Giannis would be on the same level as Durant's championship with the warriors.

This would be so much worse.

This is litteraly 3 of the best 5 players on 1 team

I think Windhorst is just yanking your chains.

If Giannis goes to the Lakers, they might become the most dominant defense team of all time. We'll witness the largest point differentials of all time.

They would just need to trade KCP (if Harrell and Gasol opt out)

But that's 3 guys taking up the entire cap. Seems impractical. LeBron and AD would probably take a pay cut

Worse.

How is it worse? He'll be like 37 and already a 4 time champion (maybe 5). This is more about Giannis

LeBron would be Curry in this situation though

Do people trash Curry for the Durant thing?

The league is starting to become interesting again. Even with the Lakers having Lebron/AD they are beatable and are not a super team. If Giannis pulls this **** I will be pissed off. The league was boring to me when Durant joined the Warriors from '16-'19.

I mean I don't know about the league, but if giannis leaves the bucks are done for a decade

How would that even work though? Wouldn't AD still have a massive cap hold that would take up that room? Unless he's planning on opting out and signing for less next year?

EDIT: Maybe Kawhi should sign there as well. Then all the need is a centre, and they're golden!

why is anyone surprised by this? Lakers have not given anny contracts last 2 years going past 21 (except KCP this year). Harrel and Gasol will opt out unless they get injured. Getting the 3 max players is doable especially if LBJ and AD agree to take a little cut off the top of their salary

In general. They're probably the two best basketball players in the world, and AD isn't far behind. It's horrible for the game.

WarriorGM · Post #36 » by **WarriorGM** » Mon Nov 23, 2020 8:24 pm

The Lakers are the defending champions right? Worse.
AD forced his previous team to trade him to the Lakers. Worse.
AD's agent Klutch is linked to LeBron. Worse.

Only thing making it not worse is that it wouldn't involve the best player in the world.

I'm fine with it though. If that's what they need to do to win, let them try.

Yeah, his comparison doesn't make sense.

I can just Laker fans now "oh..oh...well...LeBron is sooo old. It's really not like when Durant did it!"

This would SUCK...be so unfair! I think he should go to a really bad team from last year...

(like the Warriors

Gotcha. It's probably about the same as Golden State. They didn't have a 3rd superstar, but they still had Klay/Dray and a pretty awesome bench. In this hypothetical scenario, the Lakers would be very thin
