Anthony Davis is 27 now. He theoretically is going to opt out, sign a new deal with the Lakers in FA. If he does a 4 year deal, he'll be 31 next time he's a FA, maybe he throws a PO on there or something else to match the end of LeBron's deal and from a practical perspective is a FA at 30.
If you could grab him at 30, he might still be young enough where you haven't Dwyane Waded yourself. However, he's kind of an athletic freak, not the big fundamental like Tim Duncan, so I'd be a bit more concerned that he's not going to be a superstud if he loses some of that which is pretty common for big men.

He’s never missed a playoff game and the number of games he’s played in has been 64, 67, 67, 61, 75, 75, and then 56 the year he demanded a trade and 62 in this shortened season.
It’s also always been minor injuries with him.

Do you think that history will improve with age? Particularly after 5 long seasons with deep playoff runs?

It doesn't have to improve. Here are some numbers:
Average games played per season since 2013(when AD joined the league)
AD: 66
Lebron: 72
Jimmy Butler: 67
Kawhi: 58
Durant: 57
Westbrook: 71
Curry played in 26 games in 2012 and 5 games in 2020. Do you not want him either?

Outside of Bron, none of these guys are in their mid 30's and on a max deal. If he's having these issues in his early 20's, do you expect them to improve in his mid 30's?

He doesn’t have to improve. If he plays 66 games a year for us that’s fine.

I saw a quote where he said he plans on winning 10 titles with LeBron, so no I don't think this happens, unless we happen to sign LeBron as well. OK, joke aside, he's going to re-sign in L.A. in the hopes of collecting a fistful of rings.
Oh god, it never dawn on me the possibility of LBJ possibly playing till his mid 40s. Basketball is already on my periphery of sports viewership but if LBJ is even considered playing till his mid 40s, NBA will drop below soccer, WNBA, Rugby, and Australian Rules Football in terms of my interests.
There mere idea of LBJ playing another 10 years is annoying, so I hope that does not become a reality. But man AD is delusional if he thinks he is going to win 10 titles with LBJ.
