Lakers: The NBA threatened the Pelicans with a $100K a game fine for sitting Davis

[baseline bum]

What a load of that NOLA is forced to play a guy who has no interest in being part of the team. It's idiotic to play a guy they have to trade and risk him getting hurt.

[Robz4000]

holy

[baseline bum]

I hope they play him four minutes a night.

Silver is a clown, basically punishing the Pelicans for not trading AD for the Lakers' garbage.

Demps should suspend Davis indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team and dare the league office to do something about it.

I really don't get on what grounds

Pretty much this

This.
ing got Silver.

Agree with BB and others. Play the 4 minutes a game or less.

I am happy to hear New Orleans is playing him because of their own choice "it's the ethical right thing to do" and not the league extortion. But, also find that kinda hard to believe.

the pelicans lmao. Nugggas didn’t wanna deal. Now they’ll get Tatum and smart and take over the western conference for years to come in NOLA !.

[LkrFan]

As long as the Spurs don't rang

[ambchang]

Lakers fans ain’t kidding when they talked about the lakers leverage.

The league should have just came out and said “ Norleans, if you don’t take the lakers garbage for Davis, we will fine you $100k a game till the end of the season and send your team to Anchorage next year”.

AD getting consistently booed by his crowd

[Ginobilly]

Kawhi influencing his cancerous ways across the league.

[Will Hunting]

I hope they play him four minutes a night.

Same here largely just because it’d be interesting to see what the NBA does about it. Is Silver going to start giving minute requirements that teams have to follow? The whole thing is a slippery slope that can easily end in a lawsuit.

That'd be infinitely better than the Lakers' trash.

I'd like to see it happen. Now that Duncan is done, nothing of value will go to waste in a 2 or 3-year lockout tbh.

Not sure how a disagreement between certain owners and Silver would lead to a lockout.

lol, davis going bananas

Meh, the Lakers wasn’t the only option. They declined a Porzingis package too and snubbed the Clips offer as well. This one is on the NOLA for being total amateurs, not surprised since the owner has no idea nor the passion to keep the franchise.

Amateurs for not waiting for Boston's offer?

kyrie not re-signing in nola
best believe ainge will not offer light skinned rudy gay for a rental

[blah28]

I read somewhere that the Pelicans owner will fire Demps this summer and let the New GM deal with the Davis trade, so the new GM can mold the team to their liking.

[Laker_1995]

That'd be infinitely better than the Lakers' trash.

lmao. Funny how media thinks Tatum is the next superstar but he’ll only be a joe Johnson type guy. Gunna be hilarious seeing Pels getting ed then Tatum leaving ASAP

I bet CIA Pop gets a 25% consultant fee when they finally deal him.

Facts. Killa Kyrie might wanna reunite with Bron in LA. Where there's smoke...



I didn't even want Kyrie in LA. But then I thought about it. If Kyrie bolts for LA, no way Ainge trades Tatum. No Tatum = no AD trade to Boston.

Back to NOLA. They won't deal with LA this summer either. That's cool. 1-year rental for whoever trades for AD...only to see him walk to LA in 2021 to join with Bron, Kyrie, Kuz and Ingram.

Meanwhile, Boston will be back in the lottery in no time - where they belong.

What if Kyrie bolts for LA? If AD could leave upwards of $80 million on the table, why wouldn't Killa Kyrie?
