Don't do this to yourself, SpursTalk. Stop it.
GS should absolutely offer up Klay and Dray for AD. That would prob sell KD on staying too.

we all know we'd never land him. Just having a little fun
Maybe we can kidnap his unibrow? Hold it ransom until he tells the Pels he will only sign with us. He seems oddly attached to that persona.
Because we won't try.
Random thoughts on this matter:
1) Would I trade White, Murray, Walker and both first rounders for AD? Yeah. If AD is willing to sign in San Antonio long-term, you let the Pelicans pick the pieces they want and you make the trade. He's probably the most talented player in the NBA, still young and someone you can build around the next decade. If you can get your hands on that kind of talent, you do so by all means necessary.
2) This situation highlights the miracle of the Spurs small market success. Five NBA championships in a small market is even more impressive than we realize, tbh. The last time a small market won a championship outside of the Spurs you have to go back to the '77 Blazers. The last time a smaller market than San Antonio won a championship you'd have to go back to the '71 Bucks. New Orleans is a tiny market and it's a longshot they ever win a championship in our lifetime.
3) Thank the basketball gods for David Robinson. He was willing to sign with the Spurs even though he could have (and probably should have, if we're being objectively honest) signed with the Lakers. Robinson built a foundation atop the already proud history of the franchise. Tim Duncan carried the torch. Five championships ensued. Miraculous series of events.
4) The Nephew situation was a harsh reminder of what it's really like as a small market in the NBA.
5) Back to AD, as good as he is there's definitely risk involved in acquiring him because he hasn't had the team success he should. His talent says he should be one of those players who wins 50 games automatically ... but that hasn't been the case for reasons that are difficult to quantify. As I've said previously, Robinson had less talent around him than AD has had and the Spurs were still a 50+ win, automatic playoff team with legit championship aspirations.
I'm definitely in the minority but for me davis is a paper tiger. All the tools and potential but really lacking in impact, just doesn't look like there's much there beyond those physical tools. Factor in his injury history, and honestly Im not sure I'd even trade him for lma straight up, despite his age and ability..
He seems to get the “deer in the headlights “ thing when things get tight
no.
I wonder, on the heels of Kawhi being completely drug through the mud in the court of public opinion if AD is willing to do the same thing? Will be very interesting how much Klutch tries to leverage NO here..
Dude's going to LA. No.
Lol... Anything we have to offer them would take us out of the contender status
LMA DeRozan AD would be contender status. Giving them the youth (which is better than LA’s youth) and picks would put SA in contender status.
Some genius on here said AD is a stat ladder that never won anything... But he wants to keep LMA.... lmfao!
No way we get AD without trading DDR or LMA... and it LOOKS good on paper to have three stars... LMA would have a poutfest when he isn't the man anymore, and DDR would probably be on suicide watch
Then how is LA going to get AD if they don’t have the youth that is better than SA nor the mid-tier star like DDR/LMA to offer?
Boston is going to make a strong play for AD. He is too injury prone for the Lakers but, maybe the Clippers go for him. The Lakers want KD. JMHO and I could be way off base the way the NBA is becoming dysfunctional like Washington DC. The players now run the league.
to be fair, he has played like 2000 more minutes than kawhi in 2 less seasons, it could be worse...
Well by your logic, LMA sucks and what has AD done to warrant your approval?
Davis is overrated. I think there's been enough talent on that team where they should have had a little more sucessu than what they have had.
i’d rather he go to the lakers than go to the warriors for draymond, jerebko, and quinn cook.
Lonzo Ball's group saying he wants no part of NOLA. Love the obvious Laker fan reader comments.
Lakers Rumors: Lonzo Ball Not Interested in Pelicans If Traded for Anthony Davis

Who the would they send? Bryn Forbes? Pau Gasoft? ty Mills?
