Dude. Anthony Davis is a 28/10 big man and a top 5-7 player in the league.
In the climate of a non-GS NBA, he and LeBron are the best duo in the league.
Add another All-Star caliber player in a Butler or Kemba, in free agency and it's not even close.

And the Rockets are in shambles

Everyone else out West is a second round exit. With the GS injuries, their is a void left that will be filled by LeGM and his minions. How people cannot see this is beyond me. Must think KD and Klay are coming back.

2 of those firsts will be worthless unless they are 3-5 years in the future.

Time will tell. Lakers won for now (assuming AD signs). The team who gets the best player usually wins. It comes down to this 4th pick, and there's no clear potential stars at 4

Pelicans should trade the 4th pick to Hawks for Trae Young

End of one behemoth and the birth of a new one. All within two weeks. Gotta love this league.

Honestly I do not get why everyone thinks the Lakers own the league. Lebron is another year older and AD is a great player. However, outside of that the Lakers don't have any anything. If Kuzma was Klay or Dray level then sure you may have something. However he is a role player.

You still have the Rockets, Blazers and Nuggets and Jazz in the conference. Hell, if the Raps keep Leonard then they are the best team still.

People are completely incapable of looking at rosters past the top 2-3 guys.

They got a load of assets for a player on an expiring deal, there's a point where you accept you won't get everything you want and make a realistic deal.

Bron
AD
Steph
Giannis
Harden

He is as good as anyone of them (guess that would be consensus top 5)...assuming Bron has really lost a step.

What exactly makes him a top 3 player?

Not a bad list. Kawhi obviously is #1.

This sucks for pelicans. Worse offer than last year, knew they would lose leverage when Danny backed out and was all talk.

LeBron is going to be 36 for the 2020-21 season and AD hasn't played a full season since middle school. Throw in that Lakers management is in shambles and that pick is far from guaranteed to be trash.
Who are we fooling. With GS out of their way, and a 2nd star in LA. Barring major injuries this teams going to the finals.

To think that ainge probably would have pulled the trigger if kyrie just said hed resign if AD was there.

Who were we fooling when the Lakers with 34 year old Kobe traded for 27 year old top 5 player Dwight Howard who had just bullied his way out of Orlando. To think this is a lock to the finals is foolish. We have 34 year old LeBron getting 26 year old AD who has had WAY less success as a superstar than Howard had in Orlando.

Will be interesting to see if the Lakers can get a couple FA guards, they'll definitely need it. Kyrie and another floor spacer would be perfect.

D’Angelo Russel back to the lakers would be funny

Not bad not bad at all.

Too many ball handlers. Culver and Ingram together is kind of redundant.

Don’t agree. Culver is a guard and has Middleton esque game to him. Doesn’t need to have the ball in his hands to create.

That lineup looks great in theory. But that’s a lot of young guys. Need some vets there for proper development imo.

As a magic Fan I’d love to get Holiday though and Bamba May be a good fit next to Zion considering his rim protection, Lob potential and potential to knock down the 3.

Lakers traded a young supporting cast for a player they could have got as a free agent. There is absolutely no way this is anything other than an l for la.

Pelicans just became contenders. Lakers just became overrated
