I doubt AD will reject the contract given to him but there is no point of him not getting traded neither, they can do a sign and trade.

The problem is that Lakers are not willing to send any of their young players right now, it happened when Kawhi was the discussion, they didn't give any of their young players for someone like Kawhi who is a superstar and a MVP candidate, they of course rejected giving any of their young players for Trevor Ariza which kinda makes sense.

If they want to get someone like AD they will have to give some of their young players no matter what, AD won't come for free they need to spend some money for it or at least assets. Hence I think Lakers should start looking at their young core and start considering how much they worth. With Lebron+AD+Kawhi they could easily get the ring without a question.

I dont think that will work or could work.
It is different with the super Miami before because Bosh could always give way and Wade have already experienced having a big man at his side which is Shaq.

But Lebron and Kawhi together with an AD? I doubt they can make some sense to them. It will also defy the balance of NBA which will make it boring only.

I would rather have Lebron + AD or Kawhi + AD rather than put them all in one team.
NBA is not Lakers only. They will be losing money if no one is watching the other teams.

If the deal will workout for this three to play together, west finals would be really much interesting to watch, Curry, Durant, and the boogeyman against Lebron, Kawhi and AD, the game will be against coaches and how chemistry will be blend when super team will play against each other, just like watching NBA all star night..

It would be much better with all teams being balanced. I dont want to be just waiting for just 2 teams when there is so much skills around every team.
Look at Denver now. Just the addition of Jokic made them a strong team and gained a number 1 spot on the Western Conference.

In my opinion it would pull more fans going to each stadium of every team rather than a heavy traffic in LA and GS. It aint just about the television but also about the fans paying up for the seats. They need to pull some of those to get this players paid.

Lol. Any of that happening would make the west pretty much the nba 🤣 though a trio of bron, kawhi and davis would not likely happen if with ball, ingram and kuzma still on the team. A potent combination of talent, experience and youth. Gsw's status as THE super team would greatly be overwhelmed.

I do not understand why people are making a huge deal out of Lebrons comments on Anthony Davis, they even went out to dinner out of spite as well.

Anthony Davis clearly said that he prefers legacy over money and would be willing to get a pay cut in order to get a ring and be a better HoF candidate in the future, Lebron is just a player who said he would love to play with AD, he specifically responded the owners comments with he would love to play with KD as well and Butler and named couple other people, I mean if you ask Lebron if he would love to play with AD of course he was suppose to say yes, what was he suppose to say "no I do not want to play with him"? And then owners made crude remarks like people are trying to steal their players.

I am sorry but if you have not improved a single bit since AD joined than pelicans deserve to let him go for free, they would have contended if they just built a proper team around him but they failed. I hope all small market teams find a way to realize this is not just a business but also there is a ring that players want, they are not going to let go of their championship dreams just so you can profit.

Spurs are going really weird, so far in their past 6 games they have managed to go 5-1 and on their 5 victories they had over 25+ point difference

They are improving and that makes them dangerous to every opponent.
It's consistency, but they will be tested tonight playing on the road against one of the best team in the NBA, which is the Rockets.
If they will remain hot and we believe it's gonna happen, the best thing to do is to bet with them to beat the Rockets.

Yes, I agree with your comments. A Lebron + Kawhi is not a good combination because they tend to play the same position so its going to be difficult to have them in the same team, imho. A Lebron + AD is a good option, however, Lakers will be losing some of its core including the young and developing players so it's going to be a hard decision for the management to let go of them just to catch AD or trade or free agency.

Spurs are going really weird, so far in their past 6 games they have managed to go 5-1 and on their 5 victories they had over 25+ point difference on all of them, they basically screwed any team they faced without giving them a shot and really looking like a prime contender. However, there is also that one loss where they were leading 21 points and than LOST TO CHICAGO. I mean how weird you need to be to beat clippers, Sixers, wolves and so forth with 25+ point difference and than go out the field and lead the game with 21 points and lose to Chicago after that? They are really a wildcard, the roster actually doesn't look THAT good on paper and if it was like Orlando or something I would have already forget about them but when its spurs they somehow find a way back to playoffs.

Sometimes, overconfident kills. Even with how well they played in their previous games, when they play against a much lower team than they beat, they usually became complacent in a sense that they tend to relax and eventually loss the game.

The Lakers organization should think wisely.
It's gonna be a big decision if they will surrender their young developing players for AD.
So far, the young players are helping Lebron to be in the playoff spot, I think this year if they will reach in the playoffs, it's already a big accomplishment.

They do not have to push things, let it mature and let it come, they have Lebron, therefore they have a chance.

Seems like the Celtics are dominated by the Bucks now, 48-65 bucks at the half time.

Maybe this is something to do with the line that looks like a sucker bet, because some people might not do their research that some of the Boston's Key players are not playing tonight. This should be an easy win by the Bucks.

So far, they got dominated on the rebounding department, with 13 -31 Bucks.

Meanwhile, we are witnessing now a close game between the Clippers and the Mavericks, Doncic is scoring well, so I'm rooting for his team to win.

And Clippers snatched the win. What a game. So close until the end. 125 - 121.

Just saw the flashscore of the game during the 4 minute mark of action in the last quarter with the game score tied while watching news here on public trans.

These 2 teams are improving, I really like them to enter the playoffs this season.
All I can say is that there's a good competition in the West, a shitty team like the Suns are picking up, it's gonna be fun if they'll continue like this.
It's still early but I'm excited for what this young fella Luka could bring if ever they can make it to the playoffs.

Yeah Anthony Davis is currently on peak so he really want to forced for a ring . After getting his goal of becoming a champion, he can later on demand a max contract. But no need to demand, with his current performance, surely a team will offer him a big salary. There are lots of team who is targeting him and surely the one that will offer him a good money+ good team will be consider.

Im also fine with the current Lakers lineup but Lakers might want to addi more boost from Power Forward position . Damn it's gonna be a twin tower with Javale. Well then that was just a speculation though so early to tell.

Only 2 games on the board today, I already won betting on the Heat as it seems like the line is begging the public to put their money on the Rockets.
I was right and I actually do this by choosing limited games or even one game only if I see this kind of value, just like the Utah Jazz yesterday.

One problem the management of Pelicans must deal with. After the Rondo trade, it seems like they are not moving anymore. They need more deals.

Is Anthony Davis already eating up their salary cap? If that is so, then maybe they are all just waiting for AD's contract to be finished and reset their roster. While on the other hand, AD wants that ring which is impossible with a single man will only. He needs his team mates.

I would say no.. AD doesn't eating up much the whole team salary cap. His current contract is $127M 5-years contract on which is a usual value on a 5 years contract basis (started 2014). New Orleans wants AD to stay with them that's why as far as the latest speculations are concerned (on which I think is close to happened) , they will offer a $250M max contract extension to him this summer. And I think that will now lead for Pelicans to inability to acquired a somehow good role players.

AD also stated that he is willing to gave up the big offer because he wants to prioritize in acquiring a ring.

Yeah he might want a ring but with that large offer he might become the next Dwight Howard who wont get anything but just fame and money.

I think he really needs to have a long thought about this.
He wants a ring then he cannot be blinded by the money.

We know LA Lakers have a large cap but they will be giving up a lot to insert AD. Will that really take them to a championship or will it just worsen the roster of the team?

I am okay with the line up of Lakers by now. They just need a deeper chemistry.

Nets beat the Lakers, that would have been a regular thing to say in the previous couple of years but when Lebron is there and you are getting a 20+ point performence out of your least efficient player Lonzo Ball it makes no sense to lose to them. They didn't used any proper bench players as well, they made their players go for 35+ minutes and even played Lebron for 41 minutes, which makes no sense at all.

This is a regular season game and I can understand losing to anyone even to suns but losing to nets while keeping your starters for that long and tiring them out is really insane. Lakers really really need to fix this and really just work on a "system" they can build around so they can be more like warriors who has great players but also amazing offensive scheme.

Sometimes stronger teams got beaten. I am not saying that Lakers is a strong team but they are still vulnerable specially if the other team really did a good job in their defense.

I agree, the ball is round and sometimes even the greatest of them has some off-nights or his team doesn't have that enough push to win the game or coach made a costly mistake, its part of the game. You can't compare team as well, Lakers has its own system and GSW efficiency and winning formula did built in one season, it take team a lot of trades and getting the right player in drafts to piece the puzzle together.

Not because Lakers has Lebron, they should always won on a low seeded teams (15 wins Nets against 18 wins Lakers not that really a large gap).

That kind of thinking will always just lead into failed expectations. Rather than thinking why Lakers lose, why not give credits instead to the effort of the whole Nets team? Former LAL D'Angelo Russell, Joe Harris, Dinwiddie etc. they played good overall.

Again this is just the scenario of Lakers Win = no commet ; Lakers Lose = criticism.

Suns won 4 games in a row for first time in devin bookers career. Thats both a great thing to hear but also a sad thing to hear. Ayton is making a difference, he is not a joel embiid level player but he is definitely good. Suns are doing a tanking job but I am not sure how good they are doing it yet. They got booker which is a great scorer (70 points is 70 points no matter how he got it) and they got Ayton which is a great big for them but that is just it, for the past 5 years they sucked so bad that you would expect them to have at least one more good player. Now they got oubre somehow but they really need to draft one more potentially team changing player this year to actually compete for playoffs and even that probably won't be enough on west conference, if they were at east they might had a better chance in the future.
