Exclusive Anthony Davis Sweepstakes Entry: Blazers (1 Viewer)

If you get AD you go all in for this season so i don't see the point of Zach or Simons being dealbreakers. Nurkic is another story and cannot be compared to Zach and Simons. But if AD committed for more years then I would take Nurk to the airport myself lol . If yoi have AD and Dame locked surely more will come and for cheap.

Nah, no Nurkic. Nurkic amd CJ are better than anyone the Pelicans are beingnoffered putside of possibly Beal.

And I would honestly take CJ over Beal just because of Beal's injury history.

 

[joeBlazers]

We need a more daring GM before we can even entertain trading for AD. In other words, Neil won't do it. He does not have the DNA for it.

 

[BonesJones]

Davis+Nurkic would be the best big man duo in the league.

Okay Bro. Err Joe.

Beal is way over his injury issues. Better defender, better playmaker as well as probably better scorer. He is a better player and younger and bigger as well.

Beal has shown to be quite reliable the past 3 seasons.

He played in 77 games during the 2016-17 regular season and all 13 in the playoffs. During that time he averaged about 35 mpg.

He played in all 82 games during the 2017-18 regular season and all 6 in the playoffs. During that time he averaged about 36 mpg.

He played in all 82 games during the 2018-19 regular season. During that time he averaged about 37 mpg.

He gonna hire Rich Paul

No he's not:

Kyrie Irving To Sign With Jay-Z's Roc Nation

Within weeks of the beginning of free agency, star point guard Kyrie Irving has parted ways with his agent Jeff Wechsler and will sign with Roc Nation Sports, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. It's a significant development as speculation mounts that Irving could sign with the Brooklyn Nets this summer.

Roc Nation Sports, a sub-division of Roc Nation, was founded by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter in 2013. A Brooklyn, New York, icon, Carter is a a part-owner of the Nets and helped instigate the team's relocation from New Jersey to Brooklyn in 2012. Irving grew up and went to high school in nearby New Jersey.

Another star free agent, Kevin Durant, signed with Roc Nation in 2013. Since then, he has become to be represented solely by his agent and business partner Rich Kleiman. Kleiman helped launch Roc Nation, starting on the music side before transitioning to sports and working with Durant. Roc Nation also represents current Nets guard Caris LeVert.

Durant announced on his Instagram account Wednesday that he underwent successful surgery for a ruptured Achilles he suffered in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. He is still expected to receive a max-level contract this summer.

Are they just general purpose manufacturers? Make a bit of everything?

Not really. They don't seem to work in all the industries.

We make our money selling tubs.

When you look at the generator and chocolate they sell, it's more family members starting their own businesses and keeping it KOHLER.

 

[GDiama]

Nah, no Nurkic. Nurkic amd CJ are better than anyone the Pelicans are beingnoffered putside of possibly Beal.

So we getting him?

 

[dviss1]

Beal is way over his injury issues. Better defender, better playmaker as well as probably better scorer. He is a better player and younger and bigger as well.

He's had 2 solid season of uninjured play but to say this is silly.

 

[dviss1]

Contrary to the thoughts of people here, Olshey is a professional. That means he would never let it be known he was making CJ available. So,
posters will insist he's gutless, but the truth is we'll never know.

Look at the shitshow that is the unprofessionalism of the Lakers. Everyone on the team feels betrayed.

#FACTS

 

[illmatic99]

Agency speculation is my favorite thing to do.

Roc Nation also repping KD and Levert means the writing is on the wall for Kyrie.

And by extension --> Kyrie to BK == no AD to BOS. I suspect KD is also headed to BK.

 

[dviss1]

Since it's technically a new day:

We're not getting AD.

We get it.

I think we get it.

Funny how I was the guy who got shit for "shitting" on the thread because I said this once. Meanwhile...

Stren... Stren...

 

[GDiama]

No it s not. He has 3 seasons of full play, more games than lets let almost every player during that span. He probably played most mins in the league last season as well. And nobody would take CJ over him because of what happened 4 seasons ago.

Agreed, the only things to dislike Neil for are his smug attitude, the 2016 contracts, penchant for overvaluing his players, etc. But he runs a really tight ship and knows how to the play the game thru media/agents. He brings a level of competency that seems to escape the leadership in LA/NY/etc.

I wanna be a Mod, just so I can continually fuck with everyone's vibe and troll the fuck out of this place without consequence!

You don't need to be a mod to do that

Stay strong Lakers

I don't believe this line at all. Kyle Kuzma is the hang-up??? Yeah right...

 

[Scalma]

Lol@ people giving Olshey the benefit of the doubt when it comes to taking big risks. I mean it’s your opinion so run free, but you’re only setting yourself up for disappointment. I’d rather be pleasantly surprised. It’s going to be fun reading all the emotional posts (WHAT WE COULDVE BEAT THAT!!) after AD inevitably goes somewhere else though.

I'm sure we'll hear all about how close he was to taking a big risk.

Lol. So much this.

[GhostOfPGA]

I really hope LeBron requests a trade lmao

 

[BBert]

If the Flakers are trying to drive up Kuzma's trade value with this charade, I'm skeptical it's going to work.

 

[dviss1]

Take this FWIW:

 

[blazerfan11]

What would you guys want if you were trading Anthony Davis?
Me, since it's Anthony Davis we're talking about, I would want quality over quantity. I don't know what players would be available, but a young guard like Donovan Mitchell would be what I'd want.
If Ben Simmons would be a good fit, I'd take him. That could be a way the Blazers get involved, 76ers get CJ Mcollum, we get Anthony Davis and Pelicans get Simmons. (No I don't know if that trade works under the rules).
