Lakers can't trade for AD, noone can. Who could you possible give to pelicans for AD? You HAVE TO wait for the free agency if you want to acquire him and thats too far away.

I think lakers should focus on the future and not today, I know there could be players who ditch out like randle did or even a bigger move that durant did however if they develop lonzo/hart/ingram/kuzma combo well and get some big man, that team would be amazing even after lebrons 4 year ends. Yes those players will need contracts eventually but these guys when developed properly with good trainers like drew hanlen and under lebrons wings, that team can really become a powerhouse for years.

I think Lebron has already accepted that he needs to sacrifice this season for any hopes and dreams in winning the championships. Right now what he needs to focus on doing is developing the young talent they have until this season ends. By the time the next off season begins they have one more max contract to sign a superstar and that could be anyone and the next thing is they can even trade for another one if they want too. The way I am seeing it Lebron and the Lakers will have better chances of winning a championship next year.

Lakers would have a great season this time due to the LBJ addition in the line-up but it seems hard for them to make it to the finals because GSW is packed with superstars hungry for a title.

LeBron James doesn't signed a "max contract" with the Lakers to focus on developing on those young talents. He can give pointers and guide them but it's not his job so I don't see why others must expect that action by LeBron. Those young players must adjust, not LBJ will adjust to them.

well.. even tough he's in good form, he is considered a veteran now. LA team is seasoned a bit now and I don't think they're going to make any changes that will affect the future of LA (which doesn't have LBJ in it)

Fresh update to Jimmy Butler's drama..

Jimmy Butler's preferred trade destination is Miami Heat

But Butler must accept that it will not be easy as 1.2.3 so eve he preferred a team it will depend on the set of deals. Twolves surely want a great deal in return.

"Our reality is that he has requested a trade, so we'll honor that. But we're not just going to make any deal. He requested a trade and we're going to honor his request. But we're not going to do anything that's bad for the Timberwolves. We're going to do what's good for the Timberwolves. We have to prioritize that. That's what our job is." - Tom Thibodeau -

They gave up already their playoffs or finals target for several seasons now meaning they are "on process". Obviously that "future" you are pointing is now part of what is happening to them right now. They already started it and currently on progress. Just look at how they able to make a space for their newly acquired veterans today "at the same time" meaning they sacrifice standings or whatever this past several seasons to focus on getting young core playoffs in NBA draft which they currently have right now. Even their coaching staff has changed after Bryant's era. And they are not finished yet as they are on hot topic on the next free agency next year.

We just have to wait and see how far this Lakers rebuilding process will goes.

I didn't followed Davis much but I think this season it's a must.

Correct me if im wrong, are you talking about Anthony Davis?
Ive passed through a post in google sports news about AD switching team, and thus meeting up with Lebron's agent. Not sure about that, I havent read the whole content lol.

Im sure the Lakers will become a team to beat in the west next year, as they will be adding up pieces (including Leonard). If AD will sign to the Lakers, then it will be fun to watch the games between the powerhouse teams in the west.

If that will happen lakers will be able to regain what they've really got from this league, though ages will affect the flexibilities of each players and new
opponents will showed up having its owned versions of their super teams but it would be fun to watch seeing Lebron,Leonard,Davis with Ball and Kuzma, that would be a power house and very competitive line up.

Again with the super team.

They are adding more superstars in just one team.
Wishing the rookies will have a different view.

Powerhouse teams.
It is not fun anymore. Like just waiting for the playoffs cause we already know what teams will be there.
I guess NBA should take that off and try to balance it for more entertainment and also for fun since it wont be predictable that much.

Since they are still looking for new ways to increase their profit, they also need viewers even with the lowest ranking team.

As what I have heard, AD had signed in GSW which makes the team more fearful to other teams in the NBA. I think it would be a handful on LeBron and the whole team of LA to deal with the GSW this season.

Same as Lebron. That is how he thinks when he came to the NBA. Also the same when he was at Cavs without any help but he had a goal. Now look at where he is now. He is the best player in the NBA.

I do think we need players like this now. Some of them are just looking for money and you cannot see much entertainment with that anymore. But to those who are in pursuit for the Championship are the most fun to watch.

To that person who wants to be in the ignore list. No worries I already did it. Your 20 years of looking thru the NBA made you to something like that.
Thanks though for reminding me that there is an ignore button.

With the bold part, that's a sure thing in the league. Cheesy

It's a business and career so we can't remove that part of making big bucks, I even wished when I was a kid to become a sportsman but I went to opposite way.

I didn't followed Davis much but I think this season it's a must.

I just do not like it when they are putting toO much power in one team just for the purpose of a championship.
Still I want a balanced NBA just so it would be unpredictable to see who the champion will be.

This is not just for my own kind of purpose.
We are seeing no bets anymore since the odds are always higher with the West and I didnt even profit much from last year.
They want some handicap and who would agree with that?

Although I have teams that I want to win, the goal is to make every game as fun as possible.

This is actually true which i dont really understand why some people do really like to presume or putting up strong players into one team and as you said there would be no such balance if thats the case and the thrill we do seek on basketball games will surely be vanished because we do somehow already anticipate on whose gonna win since we do know the line-up. It would really be much better on the current way where
good players would just still remain and theres no need for a collaboration.

True.
Are they making it like a computer game? Grin

Specially here. We are at a gambling discussion thread and analysis about teams will help a lot to those who are betting for every game.
Who will you bet for if almost all the posts here are in just one team or in one side.
Predicting already the winner even if the game haven't started yet.
Like last year, it is like 90 percent of people already knew that it will be GSW which really happened.
So those who want to bet with Houston or Cleveland are already shaking even before the Finals started.

There is no fun anymore. No one wants to bet because of the greater odds of winning from the super team that they created.

Jimmy Butler really does not have any choice of the Timberwolves decides that he will be traded to the Bucks. Remember a player who demanded a trade can request which team he prefers the most but the one who decides when and where he will moce is the owner or gm itself not the player.

That's right, Jimmy has no saying in where he will be shipped. Wolves can trade him to ATL or ORL or any other bad team for that matter. Tricky part is, he has given 3 preferred destinations he would consider signing long term, which means - teams trading for him (outside of those 3) will not have any guarantee that he will re-sign with them after next season. Is it worth trading young players + draft picks for a guy who's likely leaving after 1 year?

Butler is looking for one those three things :

Go to a big market team
Choose a contending team
Get to a team which can offer him max contract

Bucks is neither one of those and in my opinion an awful fit, Jimmy ain't no sharpshooter like Middleton and teams, especially Bucks, need some sort of spacing for Giannis to be able to operate inside (Bledsoe is also not a good three-point shooter).

Jimmy Butler really does not have any choice of the Timberwolves decides that he will be traded to the Bucks. Remember a player who demanded a trade can request which team he prefers the most but the one who decides when and where he will moce is the owner or gm itself not the player. Middleton is definitely one of the pieces needed in order for this move to get going maybe adding Brogdon as well as another draft pick could entice the Wolves out of Miami's offer.

NBA news: Anthony Davis 'WELCOMED' to the Lakers after making major LeBron James move

Its just a change of Agent which is Rich Paul and that doesnt mean anything.
Besides, Anthony Davis already made up his mind to win a championship at New Orleans. He is that kind of player who have his own goal and do not want to rely to anybody else which is a good thing to him.

His contract expires in two years and he got a player option at 2020-2021 for player option.
Lakers might have already build a better team before that too.

I dont think he can do it in New Orleans for me especially with the players around him. He is the only all star on the team and Rondo is now on the Lakers. When LeBron is on Cavs, yeah he carried his team to Finals but with the help of Love and others. The Pelicans roster is worse compare to Cavs roster last season. There is no way that Davis can win a championship himself

At the end of his contract, he can pick the team he wants. Lakers will be a good choice since LeBron is still there at that time. It will be a good duo in my opinion.

I'm not sure if he can pursue that goal of taking the championship with New Orleans.

That team is still lack of a powerhouse and I don't follow that team since then. If he's that type of player that wants to reach his own goal, he might realize in the future that he needs some back up from powerhouses that he is willing to choose from the league's top choice.

Same as Lebron. That is how he thinks when he came to the NBA. Also the same when he was at Cavs without any help but he had a goal. Now look at where he is now. He is the best player in the NBA.

Then who is good in your opinion.

My sarcastic but friendly response would be:
Basically any team that is willing to trade two young players + a top 10 draft pick. In return they will get a 59gm rental player who has injury-prone knees.

Non-sarcastic answer would be:
Likely the Clippers: they can offer him the max, non-contending team, but they have decent cap space, flexibility which is very important come 19' off-season, very good coach and likely the best GM in J.West.

Where do you get your basis of all of this kind of stuff you are blathering about?

Two decades of following the NBA, the last 10 years of which very closely. Probably watched more games/game analysis, and stuff related to basketball than you can in your life time. I'm also an active member of some of the better online NBA communities. I won't ask where do you come with the stuff that you spill. lol

Anyway, if you don't like well-reasoned jabs and trash-talk, you can put me in your ignore list...won't be able see my responses. That will make life easier for you, filling your weekly quota with absolute nonsense. Talking basketball like a middle-aged white woman talks chess.
