lmao Ball's camp acting like he's some sort of superstar....I guess they'd rather he gets playing time on a lottery team like the Suns.

well if the Pelicans are moving AD, might as well ship the entire team out. they are already taking calls on their role players for draft picks.

Jrue and AD + all their role players can really jumpstart an entire rebuild in one week. start from scratch.

starting with their LAkers youngs, and youung players from another organization who takes on Jrue etc. and all the late first round picks + 2nd rounder they can collect etc.

Jrue is pretty much a shooting guard...they play payton at the 1...

If Ball can't beat out Payton, Orlando and the suns are his only 2 options.

This is why I think Raptors have a good chance to trade for AD over the Lakers. The Pelicans aren't bowing down to Rich Paul and co.

From Woj - New Orleans full statement on Anthony Davis
“This past weekend, Anthony Davis' representatives informed us that Anthony does not wish to sign a contract extension with our team and subsequently has requested a trade. Although we are disappointed in this decision, our organization's top priority is to bring an NBA championship to our city and fans build our team for long-term success. Relative to specific talks of a trade, we will do this on our timeline. One that make sense for our team and it will not be dictated by those outside of our organization. We have also requested the League to strictly enforce the tampering rules associated with this transaction."

Pelicans will do everything in their power to not trade him to Lakers. Screw Lebron and Rich, been scamming the league since their collusion Miami days. Hope Lebron gets some negative publicity from this, but doubt the league tampering investigation will yield any results just like it didn’t for Patrick McCaw

Why woud the Pelicans even take Kuzma/Ball etc. When they can just wait it out for Boston in the summer, or trade to a team like Toronto where they would get OG/Pascal AND expirings +1st round picks.

Hell, there are probably other teams out there that will too.

But to trade for them you'd have to give up guys like Lowry, JV, or Ibaka to match the salaries.

There is no good owner that let's that happen. That's like complaining about a bully trying to take your lunch money then buying a **** pork and bean lunch off the bully for $50 instead.
