Yes!!! It’s over finally. Lonzo will be great with Pelicans and Zion, no doubt. Call me crazy but I can definitely see them making the playoffs

Collusion at its finest.

This is probably the best haul New Orleans could have gotten.

Here I thought holding out on Kuzma was just a ploy...

Wow.

Griffin really is "Bron's guy".

They dropped the ball trying to be spiteful.

Zubac is insignificant and they weren’t looking at a #4pick. Plus lakers sacrificed the half season of having AD.

Guess kuzma talk was a smoke screen? I think Hart is a really good pickup.

Regardless the Pelicans have some great young pieces already. Not many teams get to turn things around this fast.

It's much better. They got the 4th pick which is something they likely don't get it they trade him mid season. Lakers probably make the playoffs with LeBron and AD coming out of the all star break.

I think they should keep him. Lonzo and Jrue back court would be great defensively.

He’s still a asset the Pelicans could of flipped

They could have got a free popcorn bag for Kuzma

#4 they should pick up Hunter or Culver

Ball
Jrue
Ingram
Zion
Sign Brooke Lopez

Bench will be deep. Good for them

Also include Holiday in that question as well. Do they try to flip him as well, and go full blown youth rebuild.

That's robbery.

And if those 2 future firsts are not protected this is Billy King level incompetence.

Not happy about this.

Three firsts are good, but Ingram and Ball are injury cases. Kind of indifferent to Hart.

I hope Danny Ainge is happy with himself for giving up on AD since he had the ammo to do it.

We finally have a league with no real superteams and this guy goes and stacks his team with All-Stars again just to win. :

Calm down. It's an aging superstar starting a decline who isn't top 3 anymore and a top 5 guy. Deadly duo, but almost nothing next to them. Real title favorite will be if they add a great bench with remaining cap.

Haha Griffin dropped his pants for LeBron and Rich Paul.

The Lakers won the Anthony Davis sweepstakes the day they moved up 7 spots in the draft because this is the kind of stuff that happens to the Lakers (and never to the Knicks for example).

I can't believe NO didn't get Kuzma in return. I don't consider Lonzo a significant asset with his .417 FT% and .487 TS%. Ingram is a productive player and he still has upside but his health is a question mark heading into a contract year.

AD gets to play the role he was always meant to have: elite 2nd option next to a legit 1st option in LeBron.

Lonzo Ball
Jarrett Culver
Brandon Ingram
Zion Williamson
Mohammed Bamba (trade Holiday)

Not bad not bad at all.

I have watched a lot of Lakers ball.

Hart is utter trash. I'm not sure why people value him. You'll get as good or better for vet min / make money.

Lonzo injury prone and can't shoot. Ingram will be good though.

bargnanimvp · Post #118 » by **bargnanimvp** » Sat Jun 15, 2019 10:40 pm

Lakers fans must be furious, they've just spent multiple seasons telling us how amazing ingram and ball are and how they are going to be better than Kidd and KD and now they've been traded.

To be fair to Ainge, he must know Kyrie is already leaving. No way he guts his team just for 1 star if another one is just going to leave (and especially if AD leaves too).
