A lot will depend on what happens in June. AD definitely stays if they win it all with him preferably not playing center. But for that to happen, EVERYTHING needs to be right. Lebron in playoff mode-playing great defense with limited 3's attempts and more FTs, role players Green,Kuzma etc hitting their shots while Howard and JMG dominates the inside and Vogel showcase his playoff playbook with sets that are extremely difficult to defend.
He's definitely out if they exit early with Vogel forcing him to play center, he gets banged around while Lebron settles for 3's while not defending, role players fail to step up and Vogel didn't adjust and have no good sets to help his team win.
He will more likely stay if they win it all with him playing C in spot mins
he will likely leave if they fail and Lebron and the rest don't step up.
This is the best team he's been on by far. Where's he gonna leave to? Chicago? Lol please.

But you’re assuming other teams would not make more moves to lure him to come in. No one anticipated the Clippers to get PG13 and they did. Eastern Conference is still easier than West, Miami has good pieces, if they go deep this playoffs AD can just go there. Chicago can trade their pieces to create room for another superstar Free agent or trade for one like the Clippers did. I think it’s foolish to assume anything until AD signs the contract. Lebron needs to be same Lebron 2 years ago, Vogel needs to prove he’s not the same confused Orlando coach, the supporting cast needs to step up. I would be nervous if they lose to the Clips because I don’t think it’s going to change next year but even if they don’t win it all if they hurdle the Hobos then AD might stay.
Yes, I'm assuming that. I don't consider AD to be a top 5 talent. Especially if everyone is healthy, which is not the case this year, only reason he's in this year's top 5.
With PG swing a trade, he's swinging a trade because he wants to play with a top 5 guy. Same thing with AD swinging the trade to the Lakers, he wants to play with a top 5 guy in LeBron.
Miami has bam. AD is better than bam but he's not as versatile as bam. I think Miami wouldn't want to stunt his growth. I also don't think he wants to be around that militant environment and the discipline required to be there. They check your body far every week.
I doubt there's a situation out there that's better for ad judging from a basketball and business perspective. I don't see anyone clamoring to get AD. As talented as he is, all the other top guys have their guys. Lakers give him the best chance to win.
