Anthony Davis Has Requested a Trade

[PurplePride92]

If they get any hint that Kyrie is going to hang around, they will wait it out until free agency. Boston still has loads of picks and assets they can send to New Orleans.

 

The interesting deal I would like to see is AD to Philly sending back Ben Simmons to Louisiana. As great as he is, Simmons potential isn't being unleashed in Philly and it is Embiid's team. I would love to see him lead a franchise.

 

Agreed. Problem is July 1st might be too late to get AD.

 

My dream is to see D’Angelo and Ben Simmons on the same team again.

Should Pop be fined for throwing his 2 cents in and telling the Pelican GM to hold firm and not trade AD to the Lakers?

I'd be shocked if he was traded before the deadline. Also Woj is reporting that the offer the Lakers sent the Pelicans was so bad the Pelicans wouldn't even give a counter offer. If the Lakers mess this up like they did Paul George time to start questioning Magic.

Beyond the Lakers and Knicks, the Pelicans have been made aware of "a handful" of teams that Anthony Davis would be willing to sign long-term with upon a trade, league sources tell ESPN. Boston isn't included on that list.

 

Any ideas who those other teams are?

If I were guessing Philly, Miami, Houston, Clippers?

Clippers, Bucks, and Knicks.

 

Looks as if this may have prompted the Lakers to come to the table with a more realistic offer by offering Ball, Ingram, Kuzma and cap relief.

 

I am still not understanding what the motivation is for New Orleans to strike a deal before this week's deadline.

[ggclfan]

So the latest offer from Magic is Ball, Kuzma, Ingram, Rondo, Stephenson, Beasley and two first round picks for Anthony Davis?!?!? Plus they will take on Solomon Hill's contract to help the Pelicans with cap relief...

 

That seems like too much to me.

I am a Celtics fan and would love to see the Celtics get AD...but it seems pretty obvious that AD (and his father) are not interested in Boston. If that is the case then I hope he goes to LA (out of the East)...if they give up all those young players and picks I don't see it working out well for LA at all...and I am fine with that.

Rondo, Stephenson, and Beasley are really non factors in this trade. It seems like a lot of players but those players really have no weight in this trade.

I hate to see this young group of Lakers get blown up before they get a chance to really shine together. I’m probably wrong, but this feels like a trade LeBron is going to regret, assuming it gets done.

Great! All this power move by AD did was get LaVar talking again.... Now says he wants Lonzo with the Suns if traded and that he does not want him in NOLA.

 

Does Lonzo ever get to speak for himself? Link below?

So Lavar is a GM now? Lol

If the Lakers and Pelicans make this deal, will they have the money to get any other free agents this summer or next?

I read an article on this. It is very convoluted, but there is not much of a path to make it happen if the trade occurs before this week's deadline. It can happen if it occurs during free agency, but still tricky.

Word is the Lakers have pulled out of the Davis sweepstakes. I can't say I blame them.
