Nola you gotta stop dreaming that a better package will land in your lap

Again, no team besides the Lakers will give you a nice package because AD already made it public that he will go to the Lakers after a year anyway

That kills any leverage that yall had. Teams besides the Lakers wont give up their future for a year of AD

Its over. AD fucked yall.
I think you're overreacting. Plenty of teams would still be willing to trade a good amount for one year of Davis, especially Boston, who probably thinks they have a good shot at convincing him to stay.

I know you've said they're different situations, but both PG and Kawhi were given a 0% chance of resigning too.

Building around Davis/Embiid with no real guards and Jimmy potentially leaving seems like an insane move.

Or youre looking too deep into it and not realizing that AD simply wants to be a Laker?
AD wants to be a Laker

Rich Paul is doing what he can. That's why they went public. As his agent, he has to try

Not going to happen though. The Pels do not want to be bossed around by Rich Paul, LeBron and Magic

I can't see Philly moving Ben unless there's another move out there for them to get a PG.

You can say that as much as you want, but teams arent going to get scared off by the Lakers. Im not saying teams are going to offer the world to the Pels even with the Lakers looming, but they will still offer better packages than the Lakers. The Celtics for example, are offering Tatum regardless. You really undersell how highly NBA teams think of themselves. They fully believe they can convince players to stay, and we have seen countless scenarios where this has played out.

It just makes 0 sense for NO to trade him before the trade deadline. So why should they listen to offers?
 
Those same offers will be there in the offseason. Probably even better offers because they will be competing with Boston's offer.

And tatum will only be offered if they know Kyrie is staying

They will not offer Tatum for AD

Have Kyrie leave
Then have AD leave a year later and be left with Jaylen and Hayward

That does not equal a 100% chance hahaha
But how do u guys just say “boston may have a good shot at re signing him” when he said he wants the Lakers and will go there in 2020

PG never said that. Kawhi never said that. AD already said it

Like hes set on the Lakers. What the hell is the point of giving jaylen and tatum for one freakin year of AD

Whats the point of answering right now if they wont do anything until the summer?

Pelicans and everyone else know exactly which bums Lakers will offer

No need to talk about it on the phone

Because with Boston he can possibly win a championship, and thats what he wants.
