Eat crow thread

still disappointed in the lack of attention to details
should have locked down the extended deadline part of this trade.

It’s probably best not to assume it was a lack of attention to details but rather a lack of agreement or some type of alternative plan.

I find it so far fetched to believe that it was never a topic brought up, so I’m not sure why so many people prefer to assume it to be true.

Because blaming others is much easier.

What i can't stand, is the fact that we now have a 26 year old AD on the team with Lebron and Kuzma + substantial cap space and people are still complaining. 2 week's ago those same fans would be begging to be in this situation.

Lebron and AD were essentially giftwrapped to LA...let's not be so haste in letting management off the hook just yet. The way I see it they still need to prove that they can build a team of complimentary players; I don't want to see another year of Beasley, Stephenson, Rondo, ect.

Would they be here if we still had Mitch? Thats all we need to know.

The future picks and swaps is a massive payment in their favor in my opinion. For the deal to be fair, it only makes sense the other side agrees to the extension.

Was fine with Pelinka and I still am fine with him as GM. Hated Magic as president.

Well the Lakers did give up 5 draft picks for Anthony Davis and 23 million dollars in cap room.Lets not forget that Brandon Ingram was great during the second half of the season for the LA Lakers and Lonzo Ball is a decent point guard with potential.I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Pelicans have 4 top 5 picks during between years 2021-2025. Epic fail for the LA Lakers.

Agreed.This might be the worst trade in NBA history. This could make the Kevin Garrett and Paul Pierce trade to the Nets and the Dwight Howard trade to Lakers look good in comparison. Thank goodness the 76ers front office can never be this incompetent,which is why the 76ers are looking like a Championship contending team next year and beyond.

Essentially gave up everything picks wise from 2015-2025 to get to a position to have Anthony Davis and 23 million in cap space...When Davis is a free agent next season and has openly talked about being a Laker...that's pretty epic mismanagement.

Someone post the quote below for me on this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1856307&start=60

"You sound like a hypocrite criticizing the lakers, to be honest. The lakers gave up 3 first round picks total for anthony davis. The sixers gave up even more picks, 4 picks total (2 first round picks, and 2 second round picks) for Tobias Harris, and they included landry shamet, who is a great player who they had just drafted with their last first round pick. As a result, they gave up 5 picks total for tobias harris (3 first round picks, and 2 second round picks). In addition, they also gave up even more for jimmy butler, who is very unlikely to return.

In addition, Philadelphia wasted numerous high picks on Nerlens Noel, Okafor, and Markelle Fultz (6, 3, and 1 overall).
The point is, every franchise has its failures, and nobody is bashing philly for these horrible moves, when they easily could be.
Why are you so keen on bashing the lakers?"

GB, Raptor fans, and Lakers haters are all worried about the return of the King, the Lakers. Love it as Boston heads the other way.
