Exclusive Woj - Anthony Davis has Requested a Trade.

[Chris Craig]

Even if Lebron's/Davis's agent is trying to force a trade, he can't make the Pels trade Davis to the Lakers. Any deal they offer is going to be shitty compared to what the Blazers can give. You think the Pels want anything to do with Lonzo Ball? That, and as has been said, the Pels can just wait it out. It's not like they are winning this year anyway. AD is not going to the Lakers, not this season.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

How Davis could make almost as much with another team:
"Anthony Davis could earn $267M from the Pelicans over the next six years if he signs a “super-max” extension. But, if he’s traded, his various alternatives could be just as attractive. Here’s a comparison with one possibility:"

 

[hoopsjock]

What? Hill is expiring while Moore has another year left at 9 mil.

He's not expiring. Trade Machine is wrong.

 

[illmatic99]

He's not expiring. Trade Machine is wrong.

Another one? ugh

 

[hoopsjock]

Another one? ugh

Yup, I study other team's salaries so I can tell you all the ones that are messed up.

 

[Chris Craig]

Brad Turner: Hearing from sources if Lakers want Anthony Davis, who has requested a trade, LA has to start the deal with Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Ivica Zubac, No. 1 pick.

Why would anyone want Ball? Pels would ask for Kuzma, Ingram, Hart, Zubac and 1sts if they were even considering trading him there.

Our pick also goes to NO. This deal saves the Pellies a year out of Jrue's contract while also giving them two top 10 picks from last year's draft in addition to CJ.

Who says no?

 

[Propagandist]

Maybe not, but that's besides the point.

I made the point. You're claiming that one player that who has excelled on every level would have the same value as another who has been what he is on every level. And you're claiming this in the face of reality, in the face of actual numbers and accomplishment. So, ignore the actual real life numbers and the talent disparity and iyo John Collins would be of equal value in Portland as Zach Collins. BECAUSE Stotts hates playing young players or the weather is depressing or Atlanta has nothing to play for or whatever; it doesn't matter the reason since all that is still theoretical and frankly annoying.

No chance Davis goes to Portland. Sorry but this is all about LA with an outside shot of maybe angling for NY. Davis and his agent aren’t going to make a huge statement like this with the hopes of ending up in Portland. I’m not sure his comment about contending for championships includes a team that sure, makes the playoffs but that’s about it. Especially the team his current team just swept. It’s about the Lakers. Lebron and his agent have planned this for a year.

For as much as Rich Paul and Lebron make a fuss about the Lakers, this decision of where AD will be traded will lie solely on the Pellies. AD is under contract for two years. And after seeing what OKC and Toronto have done with George and Kawhi, a lot more tams are in play than you'd think.

And of course Boston waiting in the wings.

 

[DDolla]

Wake up Neil and Dream BIG!!!! Go get Davis

 

[oldmangrouch]

Neil would easily swap CJ for AD. Claiming he wouldnt is false conjecture.

"Snort!"

Bet you a beer CJ is here after Olshey is gone.

As if being turned down by the likes of Chandler Parsons wouldn't have opened our eyes to the reality of our situation.

Don't count out Philly. Ben Simmons is from LSU. AD and Joel would be a crazy matchup with a resigned Butler.

Knicks would only work if they can get him and sign KD as a free agent. They could be a lock tome come out of the East for the next 5 years.

 

[CupWizier]

Is Neil showcasing CJ? Dame rest?

no

 

[CupWizier]

Then Davis automatically leaves because we traded away our 2nd and 3rd best player.

Collins, McCollum, Turner, Leonard, and four future 1sts for AD, Holiday, and Mirotic

You forgot to put that in green font.

 

[Chris Craig]

You forgot to put that in green font.

So, this whole thread is irrelevant

 

[DDolla]

hey AD why not Portland? Screw Lebron and the Lakers.

 

[LayneStaley]

I hope LA is completely gutted in the AD trade leaving them with zero depth and Kuzma/Hart/Ball/Ingram all gone. Then I Hope Davis’ history of injuries continues but gets slightly worse.

KD is waiting to see where AD ends up so he can join him.

They would still beat the Blazers with Rondo/AD pressing our guards.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Yes.

 

[Jon]

cool. another thread about a superstar player that wont come to Portland. just what we need!

 

[blue9]

KD is waiting to see where AD ends up so he can join him.

Sounds like something KD would do.

 

[LayneStaley]

Does this and 2 1s get it done?

I doubt it, I've seen a bunch of proposals and I don't think the Blazers have the assets to beat out a few other teams unless they've got a major thing going on for CJ, which hey ya never know.

 

[Hoopguru]

He's LA bound, ever since he signed with James agent the plan is in motion.
But, it will leave LA top heavy and still not able to dethrone the Warriors!
