Anthony Davis Requests Trade from NO

[truth18]

I hope DDB is correct but my official prediction is that he ends up on the Lakers as well. Not trying to be a wet blanket just want to get that in ink somewhere.

My official prediction is that, if the above happens, we trade Kyrie and Mook to NY for KP and THJ.

Be careful, by saying this, your opinion now is not relevant and you offer nothing to this forum. Lol

SWC is one of this boad's most respected posters. He doesn't have to be careful in anything he posts because we will always respect him whether we agree or not. It's your opinion that matters little to almost all of us.

Geez, it's been two days and we're just about ready to make a Part 2 of this thread already If AD doesn't get traded by next Thursday... I hope RealGM's servers are ready for dozens of these.

I'm flashing back to all of the great Hayward/PG/KD thread titles. Hopefully we get creative on the next thread.

I just hope Kyrie comes out and says whoever leaked that info of him wanting to team up with LeBron is a fool

Oof

guesses on how many we'll get through before the deadline?

Not a crazy notion, but I ask you...why does NOLA do this now instead of in the summer when there will be far more clarity on everything from a pick perspective and offer perspective. It makes zero sense for them to rush into anything. It would be knee-jerk and stupid.

IMO, Lakers could offer their entire team besides LeBron and I'd still prefer the Celtics package and probably even what the Knicks can offer.

You might be right. Just a prediction.

I know that we are all laughing at the Lakers' and Rich Paul's obvious ploy to force the Pels to trade AD to them. We all know that they are going to float the idea of AD not wanting to sign with anyone other than the Lakers after 2020. That doesn't really worry the Pelicans at this point, because they know Danny is still coming strong in July with a good offer.

HOWEVER, here's another way to apply pressure to the Pels:
- The Lakers have a ton of expiring contracts available. About $30 million worth
- they do have a bunch of young players, who, while not as good as Tatum, are still pretty good prospects
- Kuzma, Ball, and Ingram, combined, make about $18 million next year.

I think that before the end of this coming weekend, we are going to start hearing rumors that the Lakers have a deal lined up for another All-Star. Magic and Pelinka are going to threaten the Pels and say "Hey, if you're not going to trade us AD, we are going to ship him off to *insert team* for *insert All-Star*. They are ready to go. Just giving one last chance. If not, then good luck dealing with Danny Ainge next summer!! He is going to bend you guys over when he realizes that there are no other strong suitors for AD".

This, along with the Knicks getting the 1st pick overall, are the scenarios that worry me.

Re: Hayward, Paul George was not good in his return from ACL surgery in April 2015- 36 percent shooting, 8.8 points in 15 minutes a game over a two-week stretch. 7 months later, after an off-season of rest/training, he averaged 29 points in November 2015 on .475 shooting, .490 from 3.

Hayward hasn't had an off-season, and he's in month 4.. I've seen Cousins play, too, and he's definitely less explosive and less vertical - it just doesn't matter as much because he's gigantic and there are only a handful of bigs in the league who won't just get out of his way.

Hayward is 16 months removed from his injury. 16 months after PGs injury, he was averaging 30-8-4 on 62% TS%.

People need to stop with the PG nonsense.

C'mon Paul George followed that up with a month of shooting 37 % from the field and everyone wondering if he would ever get his hops and first step back. The Pacers were 2 games over .500 at the AS break that year and in danger of missing the playoffs. He rounded into form after the AS break as he and the team closed the year strong.
