It brought a real player to LA and the fear that everybody else will flock to LA became a real one.
Luckily Magic got arrogant and refused to trade for Paul George and didn't send out the red carpet for him in the offseason to recruit him. I have no idea why he didn't make PG13 feel like a superstar and the most important person in the world but he didn't and that might screw him
Kawhi tried to pull a power move and force his way to the Lakers but he was dealing with The Godfather and Kawhis new daddy sent his ass out of the country. Now AD, who is repped by someone a hell of a lot more competent than Kawhis uncle, is pulling the same stunt. The Pelicans really should take this deal that the Lakers are offering (if the draft picks are unprotected) but they are giving the middle finger to LA bc Magic and Lebron are arrogant POS that are trying to take power away from even more arrogant POS's. I love the drama
The real question is what GM Lebron wants done... Having Davis around would kinda get him out of his retirement tour mode, tbh, which I'm not sold that's what he really wants to do.
agree with some of your pointsQuote:

Magic thought PG was coming in FA but PG decided to stay in OKC a goos gamble that they lost.
So i dont regret not trading and if Pelicans trying to be crazy I walk away.
Lebron and davis with hill no picks every otehr year for the next 8 years and no cap space to add much talent is a deal breaker, even for Davis.
You farmers overrate Odumb tbh. This dude balls out vs the Matrix and the Phoenix Suns, no doubt. But against every other team, inconsistency was his trademark. He'd give us 23/8/6 one night. Next night he gives us 8/11/2 with 4 TOs. He used to frustrate the hell out of me.Quote:

You have a bad memory BB. If you think getting Odumb is better than getting everything the Pels are asking...:lol But whatever.
Shaq was worth more than we got for him. AD ain't worth everything Demps is asking for right now.
FOH CN :lolQuote:

That's because other teams have young talent that potential trade partners would actually want, as opposed to only being willing to take if they also get a shitload of draft picks and cap relief.Quote:

Not sure why the lakers at hanging so desperately on the picks.
They’ve had three consecutive second picks and nothing to show for it.
New York is like the most fucked up organization in todays NBA. Why would anyone go there?Quote:

Lakers have pulled out (ha!) ..thank goodness. that trade was silly.
Damn them Pellies ain’t playing ahaha.
that's about 1M for the pels, compared to the 20+ they are effectively stealing by creating this drama. Your team owes the pels about 19M at the very least.Quote:

Meh, it's delayed for a season which works out for the Lakers.
AD is still going there.
:lmao
Year and a half delay with aging LeBron is a big deal no matter your spin. Plus if kyrie goes to ny...Quote:
