This is Zach Lowes piece on the trade btw, which is a very good read. If any of you guys read. Probably the best take on the situation.

Yall can keep repeating it, and Ill keep having the same opinion on it. I actually agree with bosox, if AD doesnt commit or at least give the team some hope, the Pels wont get as much in the return. Where my disagreement comes in is the thinking that AD will only commit to the Lakers. Which...
You probably have considering their both Dukies, but right now Tatum is a better player. Tatum has been developed SIGNIFICANTLY more than Ingram. Ingram may have a higher ceiling, but he will never get up there. The guy simply isnt a very good player right now.
So...
Celtics want AD...Pelicans/Celtics discuss AD...Both teams are comfortable with what the other wants...Boston requests NO waits until after deadline...NO waits until after deadline...More teams enter bidding war during 3/4 months...Boston goes against previously discussed deals...AD is...
Hes done much more than that already. Like Ive said for days, theyve discussed a deal that both would take today if they could. Not that that has anything to do with the Pelicans waiting, but hes not going to go from offering a deal the Pelicans like to not offering anything. Both teams are...
Because reporters and analysts are actually informed and educated. Saying the Pels made a mistake passing on the Lakers package is laughable as well. The Lakers are absolutely desperate for AD, the Pelicans could call them in early June and the Lakers would move everything that theyve offered...
Im far and away the most educated and informed about this Davis situation. Everything Ive said the past few days has proven to be true. Im having to sit here and explain why its in the Pelicans best interest to wait until the summer, which is just mind boggling. This board has way to many...
Dude, there are several benefits and one of the biggest is being able to legally trade with the franchise you deemed to have the best collection of assets. How could you possibly be this out of touch with reality? Especially when Ive been sitting here giving you all the answers.
Some people are just misinformed and uneducated. It couldnt be any more obvious that the Pelicans benefit from waiting, but numerous geniuses on this board dont recognize that.
Thats completely pointless, we all know whatever they land will be completely subjected to the opinion of whoever has an asshole, and there will be MANY differing opinions. The fact that our opinions differ so much on this Lakers package represents that.
Id also say this is a very fair...
Theyve been very willing to include him so far, but they also know a deal cant be made right now. In four or so months when a deal can actually be made they may not be so willing. Should be interesting to watch.
Like I said, the deal theyve discussed the Pelicans would take today if they...
