With Lebron getting older AD might want to make sure for his future knowing that this team which being built around him and LeBron ain't be the same
after this season, he needs to look forward and wait for another good offer for him.

Who says the Lakers will never be the same after next season, yes, Lebron is getting older but he knows how to handle himself, he is not as aggressive as before so he improve the PG department and he is very effective for that. He might not score much but he facilitate good plays for his teammates.

It's agreeable that he's helping or we can say that lifting this franchise to this good stats.

He is really helping as he is the one who has the best offence in the team and it would not be possible with Lebron James.

Just for reference that Davis camp already made it clear prior to signing to Lakers that regardless of where or what team he ends up this 2019-20 NBA season, he will go into Free Agency in 2020. And yes, surely his camp will look into something good for him in the long-term as they don't want to waste his remaining years of being in prime. One of the reasons why Davis camp requests for trade on his former team is because of a poor strategy overhauling the roster of New Orleans Pelicans. This team literally wasted Davis talents for years.

Here in Lakers, LeBron is 34 and Davis is 26. We all don't know if LeBron is still the same LeBron once he turned 35-39 although surely there will be a change in his performance. I do believe that Davis's camp decision will depend on how Lakers will end up this season. Also, they will surely be watching the Lakers move for their plan of change roster next season before making a final decision if they will stay or not.

It took me for a while to understand who you were talking about..

Yeah, I just realized it now. My mistake and I don't even know why I type "Lavigne" although I know it's Lavine lol.

Anyhow, for an NBA enthusiast, I don't know why it took a while for you to understand who it is as it's so easy to understand who am I talking about. Cheesy

I am gonna watch this game, I like to see if Luka could produce the same good output with the defense of the Nuggets here.

Anthony Davis is definitely staying for the same exact reason people mentioned, he will get more money in Lakers for sure next season when contract ends.

Not all NBA players are only chasing money and yes that's including the star players of any team. Some times if a team doesn't compete enough in the league or their management doesn't have the desire to win it would be enough for a player to switch onto another team to get some rings. So maybe Davis really wants to test out the free agency because he wants to see how the Lakers will perform during the post-season and see if he can still stay there on a longer period.

It is not so easy to just go to another team and win a ring.
A player might join an team but next season a big draft might turn things around. So it is normal to me for a player like Davis to stick on a team just for the money.

Reports: Anthony Davis declines max extension offer from Lakers

Reports had it that Davis declines max extension offer but he is not expected to leave the Lakers after this season.

What is the rationale of this move on the Davis camp?

What's the next move for Davis will be decided maybe by the end of their campaign for this season. Of course it depends on how well the whole team perform and what's the outcome this season.

There's only one reason, he doesn't want to play with the Lakers anymore, it's not a money problem but maybe a place or teammates.
With his stats with the Lakers, sure a lot of teams in the NBA will be eager to sign him and give him even a better contract.

With Lebron getting older AD might want to make sure for his future knowing that this team which being built around him and LeBron ain't be the same

Anthony Davis is definitely staying for the same exact reason people mentioned, he will get more money in Lakers for sure next season when contract ends.

However, what people are missing out is what happens after the 5 year ends as well, I know 26 right now and 10 year period looks too much but if he waits until next season he will be 27 and he will get a 5 year contract which will put him on 32 years old, when you are 32 years old you get veteran max which is different from regular max, and at 32 he will have advantage of both being still good and bring something to the table but also very old when the contract ends, just like Chris Paul for example.

So, dude will have a chance to have his last 5 year contract and make INSANE amount of money in the next 11 years with 1 year waiting ,5 year regular max, 5 year veteran max, that is like close to 400 million dollars or so, that is literally close to HALF A BILLION DOLLARS. No shock he declined the offer now, it was a no-brainer decision.

Reports: Anthony Davis declines max extension offer from Lakers

Reports had it that Davis declines max extension offer but he is not expected to leave the Lakers after this season.

What is the rationale of this move on the Davis camp?

The offer is 4 years $146 Million for the extension. If Davis waits until summer for free agency, he is eligible for 5 years $202 Million contract. That is $56 Million reasons to turn down the offer. Just like what others above me said, it is all about money.

Quote from: Reid on January 08, 2020, 08:13:59 AM

Dallas will be playing against Denver. I won't bet on this. Too unpredictable. Grin

I'll go for Nuggets. Dallas have a bad record playing at home.

Dallas have bad days on that day, but there's a possibility they'll recover constantly in the future. Nuggets is a good team, but still I would bet for dallas because I've been their long time fans. Even though they're unpredictable, I don't lose trust on them.

It took me for a while to understand who you were talking about, its lavine man, not lavigne Cheesy

Those are some good dunkers, I loved it when they faced each other for the pure talent of it but lets be honest here, there is no "entertainment" like there used to be. I remember in 2011 when blake dunked pretty decently, mcgee had some crazy dunks, ibaka being robbed when he should have been the one that won and all the other jazz, before that there was blake dunking over a CAR, and even before that we all remember dwight howards superman, nate with kryptonite and so forth. Dunk contest used to be about entertainment and not just talent, lavine and gordon could be even better dunkers I can't say much but they are surely not as entertaining as back in those days.

Possible!
Im bit shocked that he would consider on finding another team or doesn't want that max extension with Lakers in spite of his record together with the team.Reason might be a personal one or who knows? But if I were to say which AD shouldn't leave the team yet that would be a big loss.

Mimicking Kawhi management move? Grin

Good games tomorrow.

Dallas will be playing against Denver. I won't bet on this. Too unpredictable. Grin

Jazz against the Knicks. +10.5 for the Jazz with 2.01 on the money.
Bulls vs Pelicans +3.5 for the Bulls with 2.13 on the money.

2 days streak fight for the Raptors, they will be playing with the Hornets tomorrow.
I am still having some doubts here. The Raptors is still a strong team even with streak games.

Anyway, heard of the rumor that Kuzma might get traded to Sacramento Kings for Bogdan Bogdanovic. Any thoughts on this matter?

As for me, if that will happen, Kuzma now has a chance to develop more of his talent. Surely, he will become a starter on Kings once that rumor become true.

We all know that with the current Lakers roster, there is only a limited room for him to maximize his potential. Even he is out, there are other players who can fill up the hole for him. In other words, he will not grow on this team unless other parts of the roster suddenly turned into sh*t along the way. During the off-season, people expect him to be the number 3 this season for the Lakers but it didn't happen.

I noticed too that he is inconsistent at some of their games. Playing time shouldn't be an issue here for his inconsistent performance since he is not just the only Lakers who have an average of 20+ minutes per game. But even that's the case, Kuzma is a special player and somehow can be considered a big fish. No way Lakers will just trade him for Bogdanovic easily.

What should i do with you...

Kuzma is still young.. by the way, thank you for the picture, I never seen Kuzma's face in close range, lol..
Lakers knows what they need for this playoff team they have to be good contender in the finals, trading kuza for Bogdan Bogdanovic should be a good decision.
