Anthony Davis Requests Trade from NO

If LA offers Ball, Ingram and Kuzma, says it's their best offer, and that it disappears after February 7, it doesn't make sense for the Pelicans to say no - they can go in the tank immediately for a higher draft pick, and clear ten million off their cap - so they'd be close to having money for a max free agent in the summer.

Well, hope we have a good backup plan— AD did this to go to the Lakers, who should put all of Ingram, Ball, Kuzma and Hart on the table to complete their box out of us.

All AD has to do now is tell NO he’ll nuke his trade value this sunmer to seal the deal.

Maybe, maybe not. Who’s the 3rd if you trade say, Tatum, Bown etc to them? Irving and AD isn’t good enough.

If Magic wants him he will get him. That’s the most likely outcome.

He’s going to LA. Just recently the news broke out the lakers are willing to trade for a second superstar, and will include anyone from lonzo,hart, kuzma and ingram.

Yeah he’s not going to Boston.

I think the dream is over. Time to move on.

Why would he ask for a trade now if he wanted to come to us?

As it has been since the 60s everything is stacked in the Lakers favour.

Name one reason.

There isn’t one. Bron Bron has the details worked out and now it’s time. Funny part is LeBron is breaking down and may decline fast at this point and AD will be left holding the bag.

I wonder if the Clippers could get involved

ViperGTS · Post #34 » by **ViperGTS** » Mon Jan 28, 2019 1:05 pm

Of course if it’s Bron, KL and AD that’s pretty good lol.

Pels are slipping, he is hurt probably for 2-3 weeks, he can ask for it knowing that the team is likely to miss the Playoffs and he looks less like a villain to the fans that have watched how hopeless the cast is without him

it's all politics

It’s a fair point, but name one reason why the Pels should trade him now

Lonzo/Jrue/Ingram/Kuzma, if they add Vucevic or DeAndre Jordan they're a borderline playoff team with major long-term upside from Ball and Ingram.

This has been brewing for a while. The dinner between Lebron and AD sealed the deal. AD sitting out with another injury put things in motion. Rich Paul and co. know Boston is out of the picture if they make their move now. Davis could've said no, I'll wait til the summer. He wants to be a Laker. Yuck.

Not over until it's over, but yeah, it's over.

This league is honestly an embarrassment.

I feel for small market teams. Unless you nail a few draft picks big time you have no chance of ever contending properly. And your marquee player will run away at the first sign of trouble so they can make a stacked team.

Read on Twitter

Davis even talked to teammates prior.
