Ed Davis?
Ed Davis
Age: 26
Last Team: Lakers
2014-15 Salary: $981,084
Instead of chasing and overpaying 30-year-old stars to pair with Leonard, the better, smarter option might be to rebuild around him by going younger. Davis has a players option with the Lakers at $1.1 million and he's certainly going to opt out of it because plenty of suitors will come calling for a guy who averaged 12.8 points and 11.7 rebounds per-36 minutes on 60 percent shooting. It was surprising that both the Raptors and the Grizzlies gave up on Davis so early on in his career, but the Lakers might very well join them if they can snag a big fish like Kevin Love in free agency. Remember, they already have Julius Randle, last year's lottery pick who was lost for the season very early on last year, and they figure to draft another big with the second pick later this month. Davis, 6'10, is another guy who's shaky in his own end (opponents shot 53.9 percent at the rim against him) but it's not like he played with anyone worth a damn.
Davis is more of a traditional power forward in that he's attempted one three-pointer in his career and only 3.6 percent of his field goal attempts came from outside of 10 feet last season. 71.4 percent of his shots came at the rim, which explains his lofty shooting percentage. He's not a shot blocker either, but he does gobble up rebounds on both ends of the floor. I'm curious just how much he'll get on the open market, since he's basically a poor man's Tristan Thompson, but why not pair him in another superstar three in Leonard?
Ed Davis?
One of the most overrated players in the league, tbh..
If the big alridge and gasol say no
Ed Davis will opt out
What about him?
If Duncan retires he could be a option at the right price
Be interesting to see what he makes. If he signs for more then splitter makes.....
This. Lets not act like he did this on a good team; it was the ing Lakers.
Lakers and Knicks players tend to get really overrated when those teams are on the downside and looking for hope, tbh..
That Clarkson is next, reminds me of when Laker fans were wet over Ramon Sessions and Javaris Crittenton..
Still be interesting how much $$$$ he gets
If Duncan retires and we end up with him I will ing cry.. Sorry. If Tim retires you better end up with an Aldridge or Gasol, only thing that would somewhat soften that blow. I doubt they come if he retires though, Tim would have to be part of the deal meaning help win a le in the next few years.
signing ed davis instead of "overpaying" la is the opposite of smart.
With LMA coming we don't need another pf.
I agree with you. Ed Davis is not the answer at all nor do I want him on the team. If he were on the cheap and a last ditch resort why not? But not even worth thinking about on the totem pole of FA's at the moment, he should be waaaay down.
He sure as would not help the FT situation either, good lord he is worse than Deandre Jordan at FT's for Gods sakes, in the 40% club... Damn.He is coming? I hope your right but don't get your hopes up too high.
Cadillac Anderson. Good enough to play minutes, not good enough to make a difference.

I find it hard to believe that Ed Davis is one of the most overrated players in the league, considering every team basically forgot about him last summer and he signed a minimum deal with the Lakers.
Yeah that was a good deal for that price. He is horrible at FTs though.
Wasn't he supposed to be the next Chris Bosh? What happened? Combination of the inside/outside game and a great rebounder.
Sign Davis and Hansbrough and Ellington. Trade Kawhi for Lawson. Instant profit.

Hahahahahaha
what has he done? serious question.
I'd love to bring him in on a one or two year deal. He's definitely four times the player Ayres was.
Danny would certainly be happy with those moves,LOL.
