WOJBOMB: Anthony Davis to Lakers

[Meticode]

Pelicans build towards their future getting a #1 and #4 picks this year. And two other future first rounders. I can't imagine Jrue staying there or them wanting to keep him there.

Lakers are in win-now mode, probably will make another big move (maybe Butler?) since they sense KD and Klay won't be out next season.

[Kblaze8855]

How can anyone think this is a win for the lakers? A gutted team with a career loser center, an aging LeBron and absolutely Zero spot up 3 point shooters...this is not going to end well for the lakers

Time to get to tampering with JJ Redick.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

No, they didn't.

Leverage is a powerful thing.

[scuzzy]

This trade doesn’t go down if KD and Klay didn’t get hurt Bron sees a path to a ring lol Lakers giving up A LOT

draft picks?


LA traded D'lo to unload Mozgov contract

then let Randle walk to resign Pope

they're two most recent ones haven't been healthy for 50% season



Lakers rookie development and scouting is bottom of the barrel as it gets, enjoy the picks Pelicans, they're useless in LA

[DMAVS41]

You knew once they saw both KD and Klay go down the other contenders decided they would do whatever it took to win now.

I bet the rockets stopped taking calls on guys right away. Figured it was theirs for the taking as is. No rebuild.

Everyone gonna pay what it takes to add any star. Kemba gonna get maxed out to any team even close to contending if they get him.

Lot of plans changed. You knew the lakers were gonna make sure to have AD and try to keep room to add more.

Yea, I wonder about Kemba on the Lakers now.

Initially I don't love it because I worry about the defense, but man...

Kemba/Shooter/Kuzma/Lebron/Davis is probably impossible to stop.

Maybe their development sucks, but their scouting is fine. It's Jerry West's son for cryin out loud

Adding Kemba would be a mistake.

Should use that $$$ and get tier 3 guys that'll provide nice depth

Because they have a chance to contend for a title now and just got a 26 year old superstar that will be there for probably the best 5 years of his career.

I don’t know what to say. I’m happier than I expected to be. I grown attached to ingram and lonzo, but...we are back in business. I’m done cheering six long years for rebuilding prospects and now we got stars to get us back in the playoffs. And cap space to add another. This is crazy. I love being a lakers fan

I tend to agree.

Just depends on who those guys actually are.

Someone like JaMychal Green would be a phenomenal fit there. Hoping it isn't the case.

[Celtics 1825]

No excuses for LeBron this time if the Lakers miss the playoffs again. He got his help.
