Exclusive Woj - Anthony Davis has Requested a Trade.

[PtldPlatypus]

Lakers pull out of talks.


Demps rejected their offer of two picks, and:

Ball
Ingram
Kuzma
Hart
Zubac
KCP

Much respect to Demps -- quality >>>>>> quantity!

Allegedly, the Pels wanted 4 firsts and 2-4 seconds.

One issue, Lakers offering up 6 players for 1, N.O. is already at 15 players, I believe. So they have to waive 5 players BEFORE they can even execute such a deal.

Ya this was brought up yesterday here and it often gets ignored. NO needed to get rid of a ton of players to make this happen

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Saw woj tweeting that the lakers don't want to bid against themselves. Then maybe they shouldn't collude with agents and the media to scare everyone else off from bidding....

Translation: They don't have anything new to offer and the ball is in NOLA's court. Just another negotiating tactic, they aren't done, they are just trying to look less needy.

The Pels will not trade Davis to LA, they have no all star or potential or even a notch below at this point. And Kusma 0r Ingram are not there yet. Boston will provide much more plus they send him to the eastern conference. Davis would immediately be competing for Eastern Conference championship with Bean Town next year. Wouldn't happen with LA. Just my opinion, again I could be way off wrong?

I think they will at the last minute. Its just a matter of draft pick protection and how many first rounders.

3 or 4?

Hopefully this blows up in the L*kers faces and they become the new Brooklyn Nets.

having now effectively pissed off their entire roster not named Lebron...that's going to be a fun lockerroom!

Lakers basically HAVE to get Davis now.

I’m probably the only one here who thinks that but I think Ingram, Kuzma, Ball, Zubac and four firsts for Davis is a hell of a haul. None of those four are all star level but all are quite good with potential, you don’t actually have to keep them all - you will be able to flip them for good value easily. Four firsts if without protection is very, very good, this year it could easily be a lottery pick, then in 2023 and 2025 you might be looking at very high picks as well as this is post-LeBron era.

Anything that hurts the Lakers is fine with me.

For what they are offering, Phoenix is probably offering their starting five....

5 unprotected first rounders would be better.

The Lakers have no leverage and HAVE to acquire AD.

I don't think its going to happen and I believe LA knows it....

I heard on the radio this morning that many of the owners are encouraging NO to wait.

Amateur hour at Staples.

Word on the streets, Magic Johnson is walking around the streets of LA with a cosh looking for Pelicans fans.

I'll only celebrate when the trade deadline passes. I've been fucked too many times by the L*kers.

Especially since it's been such a harmonious locker room already, lol.

 

[oldmangrouch]

So, why aren't we hearing the Blazers name in all this?

Hey, Olshey offered them the same package he offered for Hood. It's not his fault they didn't appreciate his generosity.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Laker fans are delusional.

They want the players union to investigate other teams putting pressure on Demps to not do the deal.

It's their version of the deep state.

Queue the Lakers bitching about other teams colluding against them.

Laker fans are so delusional in how they value their players. 2 Chevy's, a couple of Yugo's, and few gift certificates to the service bay is not worth a Bugatti.
