Anthony Davis requests trade, part 3

[Scarletfire81]

Yup. I am in complete agreement here, and again, I truly wonder if AD has ever really wondered to himself "Hey......why shouldn't I play for Boston?". Does he not realize that he's being played here, and that his own agent is trying to appease his friend? Does AD not realize that he is the one with the most control here, and not Rich Paul and Lebron?

Ya idk maybe Paul and LeBron have Davis mind ****. We need Kyrie in Davis's ear saying let's play in Boston. I'm kinda concerned / pissed that he's not. Hopefully he is and just is doing it in a savy, non-public way.

Well, I mean I hope that Kyrie wouldn’t tell the media that he wants his current teammates traded for a guy that isn’t possibly available for him to play with until next season.

Yes that would be horrible for team chemistry. Hes better off just stay quiet about everything.

Can someone please do an update for a guy who has been out of the internet for a few hours? Thanks in advance.

1. AD gave a list to NO. BOS is not on the list.
2. He wants Lakers but he also names clippers, knicks and bucks. The first two are big markets with no assets for now and the 3rd one is a small market team who can't trade for him either because its entire starting five are expiring(not valuable) contracts.
3. Lakers will likely get him now by trading all of ball, rondo, kuzma, ingram, stephenson, beasley and 2 1sts.

As of now, nope

Believes? Does this imply they'd trade him to Boston without Tatum in the offer?

Pels reporter. Pels fans say he’s legit.

I think that is just means that they think that they can get a better offer which could/would include Tatum.

Lakers are smart, they are keeping out dirt cheap role players to complete starting 5 with AD and LeBron. Hart at SG and Zubac at C...and giving 3 players they basically do not need in ball, Ingram and Kuzma.

They have Chandler at C and will get one if Kanter/Jordan after buyout...for sure there will also be some ring chasing veterans bought out.

Imo they are keeping Zubac/Hart/one more pick out of deal to use in Hill trade for expiring...there is a stupid team out there which will take salamon Hill contract belive me.

Its going to the wire imo.

Lakers always had to give up all of Ball, Kuz and Ingram to even have a shot of landing Davis.

I wouldn’t trade Tatum straight up for those 3. It’s all about quality over quantity in the NBA.

Exactly, that's why Raptors joined them in a 3 way.

Agreed. That's why the notion that they could trade for Davis and give up 2 NOT 3 is absurd.

Very true. I'm just not sold that he is already in Davis' ear and they are planning on teaming up in Boston.

To me we can give the Pels the best offer, we can give Irving the most money, we will have enough remaining talent to win a title right away, we have an amazing coach and an amazing Gm, Irving likes it in Boston.... I mean why are we not THE PLACE for the 2 of them to team up? Makes sense to me but I'm a homer and an optimist.

Same. Plus if Durant really does have interest in leaving Golden State, we could find a nice home for him on the team as well. It isn't just the Knicks that Kyrie can team up with others at. Manhattan is fun and all, but the Knicks have mostly been a dumpster fire for these players entire lives.

"My son would not re-sign in Boston. Their message board's gifs don't even work. Lack of loyalty to the servers."

Solomon Hill removed from the starting lineup tonight.... Pels must be seriously thinking about it.

Why does that matter? Soloman Hill was going with AD?

Nuh, still firmly in the camp he'll still be a Pelican come after the deadline.

But wouldn't be surprised either way... I mean.. this is Demps after all.
