Anyways, Davis to Lakers trade is fail, at least on today's deadline and will continue the talks off season. At last this drama come to an end. This should be enough for Lakers to get back on shape.
Right, at least this drama has ended and hope that the Lakers specially those names that pop up during the supposedly trade with Davis settled down on their grove and start to play normally again. I speculate that they have been affected mentality which shows the big lost against Pacers a couple of nights ago.
This sentiments will end for this season and they need to play with good shape to have a good place for the playoffs the team needs more winnings, this is just a good sign for this group defeating celtics as they are bringing some interest back from that last lost, after this trade drama every players are now
entitled to play according to their received salaries and not just to display their names inside the court.

Lebron and Rondo way back from Heats boston rivalry, they are both leaders in terms of lust for winnings.

After a sloppy showing against the Pacers, The Lakers has finally redeemed themselves.
Winning on the road is difficult especially against the favorite team in the East, I think Lebron still has instill fear to Boston
as when he was playing with the Cavaliers, they can dominate this team easily, and now with his young teammates, he did it again.

Lebron got his triple double in this game with 28 points and 12 rebounds and assist apiece.

Yes, finally.
Rondo, Rondo, Rondo. He did the clutch shot without hesitating and got it in for the win. They said Rondo was also leading the team in practice game after the 42 points loss from Pacers. He gave them some energy.

But going back it was Kuzma who did the 3 point shot which is the game changer for the Lakers to get that win.

Lebron though. Watched him at 2nd quarter and it is like 6 plays which he did perfectly. The great assist and those Curryland shots which are really far.

Celtics got so careless. They have given the Lakers a lot of openings which was grabbed by Lakers as an opportunity for runs. 17 was the largest lead at 2nd quarter but the composure of Lakers was intact.

This one is bad for the Lakers, Zubac  showed his potential and he made some games to their favor when he is playing, his envergy
on the floor is very impressive but it's their decision, let's wait for their next move.

First trade is a bad move for the Lakers.
Yeah! I'm worrying a little bit for the possible outcome of Lakers' decisions. I sense that instead of having a stronger team their team will get even worse prior to this trading. For me it was so impractical to trade almost all of your good players just for an underrated all star and another player.

NBA trade deadline: Lakers acquire Mike Muscala from Clippers for Michael Beasley, Ivica Zubac
What? Then who will be left for Lakers now? (excepet for Lebron of course). Okay, just assuming that they get Muscala and AD then who will be the other two to build a strong first five? I haven't see any player in their tram with great potentials so far, I think of Zubac but unfortunately it is now involved in the trade Undecided.

Report: Raptors trade Valanciunas, Wright, Miles and pick for Marc Gasol
Why? Does Valanciunas is not doing great for his team? For me he does. But well, Marc Gasol is a better center so I don't blame them for trading him, just hoping that the chemistry between each players matched.

This is just a fair move and I think since Valanciunas is recovering from injury, they might already foreseen that things will never be the same again in the future. March Gasol on the other hand is a complete big man, complete in the sense that he can shoot well (even in 3s), and once a defensive player of the year.

March Gasol is surely a boost to the team, they'll defense will be better now.

Anymore trades which have materialized since it is near the trade deadline?
I think the most noteworthy one was the Tobias Harris trade to the sixers.
But I think there will be more teams trying to offload their injured players so to lessen their teams salary cap.
Just like the knicks did with porzingis.

That's the two notable picks I've seen so far and there could be more. Of course all eyes in on the AD drama, so let's see how it goes.
Those are some trades I have never heard of and must be last minute decisions. I cant see the report being solid though.
Zubac is an outstanding player and was getting into his own streak about a month ago before lonzo got injured.
Wow about the raptors. They are cleaning house first with Demar Derozan who was an all star and now Valanciunas?
People are saying Kawhi Leonard is going to sign with another team come the off season.

Why others pointing LeBron is kind of manipulating the trades and even the coaching staffs lol. If Im wrong here then linked me to an official link where it was stated and not just a Speculation.

Do people really think that the Lakers GM, President, staffs or so on doesn't like Anthony Davis? Just think of it, they are willing to sacrifice their young cores just because of it. They want to take advantage of AD while LeBron is with them. Lakers wants Davis and not LeBron wants AD.

They can rebuild anytime they want if the chances they have taken will not be success. 5 years in the making and they have to do it now. The Lakers whole operational team can't be just influenced by LeBron. Lakers is a big organization with lots of championships already. No way LeBron can just demand what he wants easily.

Anyways, Davis to Lakers trade is fail, at least on today's deadline and will continue the talks off season. At last this drama come to an end. This should be enough for Lakers to get back on shape.

If I was running the Lakers I would trade draft picks and the young players now toget better pieces around Lebron.  You only have a few more years of prime Lebron play until it's too late.  Will Anthony Davis be enough to beat the warriors?  Maybe not but its worth taking a chance.

Its cool to see D-wade and Dirk get in the all star game but I feel like they are stealing spots from more deserving players this year.

It looks like Nikola Mirotic is leaving the Pelicans too and joining the Bucks.
He has scored 16.7 ppg in 32 games this season.
NO gets Jason Smith, Stanley Johnson and four 2nd round drafts picks.

Probably one of the most notable trade that happened is the Bulls-Wizards trade. The Washington Wizard receives Jabari Parker, Bobby Portis, and a 2nd round pick in exchange for Otto Porter. Wizards made this move because they might be tanking this season when John Wall got a season ending injury so it makes sense to them giving away Otto Porter. Bulls clearly won this trade as they got away with Porter while offloading Jabari Parker which is already unwanted in the team.

It's very cool that The process worked. Congratulations to Sam Hinkie, who unfortunately can not participate in the best part of his project. But he proved that he was right.

Sixers now set up the team for the only challenge left, which is to be a contender. They have a good chance of being the division champion.

I think things will not be the same in Lakers organization for Lebron. He normally calls the shots because he was in a team like Cleveland who never won before him and was in Miami before that which one just couple years prior but also didn't have anyone but wade on their team. Here in Los Angeles people have seen 5 and more championships in their life time depending on their age, they would rather see Lakers fail and not make the playoffs than see their team run by a player.

Even Kobe played on Lakers and just tried his best with whatever was given to him and never tried to run the organization. Lebron can try his best to influence things but Lakers decided to go for Anthony Davis themselves, who wouldn't want AD on their team ?

Lakers wanted him and did things their own way, it wasn't just Lebron who wanted AD it was Lakers organization as well and he had nothing to do with trade talks neither. So I think all these chemistry issues resulted with Lakers Organization showing they are disloyal to their young core and had nothing to do with Lebron.

Since there is no chemistry with Lebron and the whole Lakers team. Guess what will happen?

Magic wants a championship and he does want it with Lebron that is why he pulled all the strings to get him.
He might release all this young guns, Kuzma, Ball and Ingram for what?
Yes, for veterans again just so to get that championship that he want. If not then maybe another superstar or maybe two.
He will have a large space for his salary cap and also he will get profit from it since it will be filled with people every game.

He just cannot wait for that chemistry to be created so better use another option.
Lebron is aging and Magic's investment must be fruitful.

Just my opinion.

I agree, I still think that Bucks is underrated by bookies and lest they forgot Bucks has one of the most dynamic talent in the NBA right, Giannis Antetokounmpo who is still not hitting his prime and yet is playing like a NBA MVP.
This guy has been underrated but most of us knew it on how he plays well and they shouldn't treat him as someone that they can underestimate. I think he's going to his prime but he has need to gain more experience.


Yep, he is really underrated maybe because he is playing with a team that the media is not focusing at the moment, they would rather watch Lebron or GSW or Harden.

He is slowly getting the experience and he is improving every year and carrying this team to where they at right now. Experience will come and we just wish him that he wouldn't get any injuries or something so that we can watch more exciting basketball from him.

The lakers chemistry must be horrible right now, half the players know they can end up being traded and Lebron already wants Luke Walton gone.  This doesn't surprise me, Lebron always calls the shots no matter what team he goes to.

Exactly, Lebron usually clashes with his coach and specially if he didn't like how the team is doing. So I'm not be surprised if he is calling the shots and he wanted Luke Walton out of the Lakers.

It's too bad though that it will took the toll on the young players in the current roster. Well it looks like the AD drama is over as Lakers already pulled out of the deal. So let's hope those young players will get over it and start to play good basketball again.
There immaturity will not make them a great team.
Lebron does what he does, and prior to the acquisition of Lebron, the management already knows Lebron's background.
They'll not let him feel bad because he is the star of the team and it shows on how big the improvement of the Lakers now.

After this drama, everything will be back to normal, Lakers will playing a better basketball than their past and they'll be in the playoffs.  Grin

I'm not in doubt about them getting into playoffs, but I'm more concern on how far they can go, if they can only acquire AD, they'll have a better
playoffs journey.  Smiley
