Woj: Celtics and Lakers Engaged with Pelicans on Anthony Davis Trade

[LKN]

Serious question - has any of this reddit stuff ever been proven to be legit?

Literally doesn't say they've agreed on a framework. Just that the Pelicans would like the Lakers to try to get something different for the #4 pick. No "agreement" at all.

Wait... you think this is legit? Come on man.

It would be kind of hilarious if the Pelicans already agree with the Celtics on some type of a deal and are sending the Lakers on a wild goose chase.

That particular poster has a good track record.

OTOH, he leaked the news that the Lakers were wanting to go after Bob Meyers a day before the news leaked. He leaked that Zubac was going to propose to his girlfriend a day before that news came out. He's also the only poster to actually get verified by the mods of that subreddit.

He says he has friends who are well connected.

But, you know, grain of salt and all that

I have to agreed with you, I don't see Atlanta give up 2 top-ten picks just to help out Pelicans/Lakers, and I know that Jarrett Culver is a good player but not for giving up 2 top ten picks for and added more picks as well. I rather do Sekou/Reddish and called it day.

You know what else would be funny, LAL getting AD and finishing behind POR for the 7th straight season. We all heard last summer after the Lakers signed LeBron about how the Lakers were going to challenge GSW and HOU and the Blazers were going to miss the playoffs. Yet, the Charlie Brown Blazers finished 16 games ahead of the Lakers

Since you brought up ancient history, when was the last time the Lakers actually had a winning record?

its about tiles bro. you hang banners for making the playoffs in portland like the clippers do. you know the lakers will win a title before portland does and thats why you are so mad at the lakers possibly getting anthony davis. portland trailblazers got freakin swept and durant didnt even play. you guys should give yourselves a pat on the back for trying though, good job good effort there bubba.

You know, if Jerry Buss were alive, I'd agree with you 100%. But the Lakers need more than one or two stars to get back to their former glory. They also need competent ownership, management and coaching - three things they have sorely lacked since Jerry Buss passed.

In spite of all the advantages they have (history, glamour, better endorsement potential, international presence, better weather, the bright lights of Hollywood, etc.) this current ownership has managed to do something sad sack, tiny market, rainy Portland hasn't done since they were an expansion team - string together 6 straight losing seasons. Portland hasn't had more than three straight losing seasons since 1971 - 76.

If Jerry were alive, I think he'd be embarrassed by what current ownership has done to his formerly great franchise. They still have all of the advantages, but have gotten none of the results. Even when they signed the pseudo-GOAT, they still couldn't put a winning team around him.

If they do get AD, they will have a winning record and make the playoffs, but 35-year old LeBron + AD + a bunch of nobodies does not guarantee they will make the finals, let alone win a championship. LeBron found out just how competitive the West is last season. All the preseason talk about challenging GSW and HOU was laughable. He should have been more worried about lowly POR, OKC, SAS, DEN, UTA and the Clippers.

lakers still have a max contract to offer even after they trade for anthony davis. so it could be kyrie,bron, andonty davis plus ring chasrers. i mean raptors are 1 win away with kawhi and choker lowry plus old man gasol and young gun siakim. lebron plus anthony davis and either butler, kyrie, or some other signing is better than cj mccollum and damian lillard who choke every year like clockwork.

Phx with the hard pass IMO but if Lakers could get Booker for Lonzo and #4, they should keep him.

What about:

Ingram, Mike Conley, #7, Ivan Rabb, 2020 LA 1st to NO, Future Memphis 2nd
Lonzo to Chicago
#4 to Memphis
AD to Lakers

That's solid. Makes sense for all involved. If Memphis could pair JJJ with Ja and Reddish/Culver/Hunter that would be good for them. Then they would be the ideal team to take on bad expiring contracts from teams looking to clear cap space like Atlanta was.

Lillard and McCollum were in the WCF without the team's second best player... what the hell are you smoking? How is that choking?

Lakers get the pseudo-GOAT, win 37 games and miss the playoffs. Blazers win 53 games and make it to the WCF and they are the chokers. Must be that new math.

This type of entitled attitude is precisely why the fans of other teams love to see the Lakers fail. Although, I admit, after posting a losing record for six straight seasons, at least they have the never ending drama to keep them somewhat relevant. Their on court performance in recent memory certainly hasn't.

terrible deal for NO...Davis for essentially Ingran and the 7th pick...everything else is just noise

Exactly when have Kyrie or Butler put the Lakers on their short list? No one, other than Anthony Davis wants to play for/with LeBron. And that max contract is borderline. It depends on how much salary they send out in any hypothetical AD trade, that they renounce the rights to all nine of their free agents and how many seasons their target free agent has been in the league. Is Kyrie or Jimmy Butler willing to accept slightly less than the max to come to LA and be LeBron and AD's third option, or do they sign for a full max to be the first or second option on a team with less drama and a more balanced roster? If Kyrie and Jimmy are smart, they stay in the East where they have a more realistic shot at making the finals.

Mike Conley fits exactly what they were looking for in "star veteran". His 21/4/6?

[nzahir]

Lakers in: AD
Blazers in: Kuzma, #4
Pels in: CJ, BI, 2021 LA 1st

Who says no? If pels want Kuzma then swap BI and Blazers thrown in at least a first. Maybe bit more

If you're going to root for an organization to fail based on the worst fans, you've better be prepared to root for every team fail, including your own. All I gotta say about that.
