Must follow these rumor.

Since Anthony Davis had admitted previously that he want to prioritize NBA championship over big $$$ , one of the team that eyeing on him is the Los Angeles Lakers. There are speculations that Davis will reject the super max contract that New Orleans Pelicans will offered him in the next free agency.

Well even last season, especially after the playoffs exit, many analyst really seeing that Davis will leave Pelicans. And this season, the management currently doing nothing* to improved their roster.

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.

Its pretty obvious that AD had eat too much of their cap that they can't make any trades to improved the team. And I agree that AD will leave and go to a team that has a chance to get a ring. His team mates is not responding at this point and maybe it will be too late for them before solving their issues.

It will be very exciting if AD will land in LA.
People would think that they will be the best team in the NBA, of course I would also think that way and they are gonna be better than the warriors.
In every championship Lebron has achieve, he has a back up all star and he need that with the Lakers now.

I am not entirely sure whats going on with the trade 100% but the deal was sending picks to suns in exchange of sending Ariza to wizards and sending Oubre

A little late, but I still want to comment on this strange and funny failed NBA trade.

It was a three-team deal that would send Ariza to Wizards, Kelly Oubre and Austin Rivers to Memphis, and first reported Dillon Brooks to Suns.

According to Grizzlies, it was MarShon Brooks, not Dillon.

In the end, it turned out that Memphis and Suns had no direct contact during this trade and left Washington to manage the whole process.

Suns thought they would pick Dillon, Memphis thought it was MarShon Brooks, Wizards think they were told Dillon...haha what a mess.

Not surprised that it happened to a team like PHO, this organization is run so poorly for the past 10+ years.

When all is said and done I honestly believe Kevin Durant has a shot at breaking 40 thousand points mark.

Yes that's possible a) if he will remained healthy, b) maintained at least 25 to 30 PPG and c) will not show a sign of slowing down for several seasons to come. That's a hell of effort and really a difficult one to achieved. Even with superstars around (for let's say he decided to stay at Warriors for 2 seasons or above) reaching minimum 25 points per game is kind of usual to him so what if he will be transfer on a team with only few core players.

Anyways early to discussed this for now.

I have not check the latest score difference and the years Kevin could play but he is scoring like its nobodies business and has already covered a lot of grounds yet he is still quite young. If he stays in warriors or goes to another good team with another good player it will take him close to his retirement to pass and he can even postpone his retirement couple years extra just to pass it because it will be such a close number.

However, if he goes to a team where he is the star and there are no others that could play like him, he will probably break the record quite early and retire early as well cementing his HoF status easily. It is just insane to think warriors have been so good for so long now, you think it is just couple years but it has been 4-5 years now.

Tonight is another off-night for Westbrook in terms of shooting but he'll surely get a tripple double win against the bulls.
They easily win against the bull tonight because they are already finding their position in a team, I hope they'll continue this chemistry this season.

Good luck to them, seems like they are a real contender.

Yeah they are a real contender at this moment. I think they have the chemistry that they are finding. Westbrook and George are the top 2 in steals this season and other players are stepping up to help them. Easy win for the Thunder today against the Bulls and a triple double for Westbrook.

Stephen Curry becomes the 5th Warrior with 15,000 regular-season points and Kevin Durant passed Larry Bird for the 33rd place in all time scoring list.

I am shocked with Westbrooks willingness to shoot the ball despite the poor shooting percentage, although they won against the Clippers at home but this guy is not a good example of constant shooter, with a 4/17 shooting night, that's worse for me.
People might say that what's important is they win the game, okay... but please credit that to PG, Westbrook is overrated.

There's a so-called "off-night" on every player even on a "superstar" or "all-star" caliber. There are even times that PG is not doing well while WB is doing good. His the main core of the OKC so he will just shoot. There are lots of big names who have that worst shooting % on a certain game but still willing to shoot the ball.

Although it's not good in some aspects and quiet not a better act in some ways, we just have to be used on it especially on OKC.

Westbrook is one of the most accomplished basketball players we have in our league right now. The only reason why he is so stuck at shooting is that they are not creating a good style of playing as a team to give Westbrook any free shots. Look at Curry for example, he is one of the best shooters in the league and some of the shots he makes are so incredible that sometimes I have hard time believing those shots went in. However even with that type of talent they manage to play the screen game so well that curry constantly gets free shots as well, specially Klay gets amazing off the Drible shots. Westbrook on the other hand gets isolation all day long and try to score over his defender every single time, not because that is who he is but because Billy Donovan is a bad coach who doesn't have a clue how to draw a play.

It is really great to see a center playing with average speed and have some great skills.

Nikola Jokic. He have been really dominating the paint and using his body to score and to create space for his team mates.

He is like more of a Shaq with some new flavors in him.
Denver Nuggets dont have much of a problem shooting the ball because they trust the guy underneath the rim that he might get an offensive rebound.
That is a big boost for a team.

Winning against Toronto is a big deal. Now we can see a new contender for the Finals.

They stayed on the top because of that win.

Westbrook has always been a selfish player but it got worse when Durant left the team. Anyone averaging a triple double for an entire season would have to be a ballhog. He is the kind of guy that plays for stats and his style of play will never bring your team an NBA championship.

The guys a known scorer dude. He will keep ib shooting until his shots fall. Though i agree that that in a way disrupts team play especially with pg being the better one among the two. But russ will be russ.

He scores but it will not be effective comes playoff time because the defense will be focus on him.

A point guard as he is, the main concern is to facilitate the ball and make plays that could give his teammates an open look for them to knock down shots.
It's alright to score but one should focus on their role as a player, not against Westbrook because this guy is a machine but I just wish that he will mature.

Ariza eventually left suns, I mean they signed him for what as an asset ?
Eventually the three team trade may not fall and maybe Memphis will be out of the discussion ?

I am not entirely sure whats going on with the trade 100% but the deal was sending picks to suns in exchange of sending Ariza to wizards and sending Oubre to Memphis. Apparently after that trade failed they did just a straight up trade of Oubre and rivers going to suns and Ariza going to wizards, I don't know if any picks are involved but considering that is a good pick up by suns we can rest assured they are still tanking this year to get a good pick and if they can get a good pick they can definitely try to build around Booker, Ayton and the new guy. That's what Sixers did and that worked out so well for them.

Even with the bad shooting night he has, Oklahoma has paid this guy million bucks just to do what he has to do and that is to shoot the ball. So what he did is to take shots but unfortunately it did not go well on his side.

He's percentage is quite ain't good but the team won and just like what happen to every stars that won't change the fact that he's being paid for keep shooting the ball, though the fans ain't happy anymore and not being entertained well seeing your best player having a worse night, it would be a tough
season for OKC after durant and harden left the franchise, maybe westbrook needs to change things up.

Its a surprise that the Bulls won against the Spurs on the road. We know that are the Spurs are not that good but Bulls are worse. I didn't watch the game but I think they choked on the last minutes.

Suns got a back to back win against the Mavericks and the Timberwolves. Another surprise I think even its their home court. Lebron and Lonzo got a triple double too. I think its first time that 2 teammates got a triple double in one game. Correct me if I'm wrong

So it's now confirmed who will the Los Angeles Lakers give up for Trevor Ariza's deal. It's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

But unfortunately, as of the latest trade updates, the trade is now failed. The reason? Phoenix Suns want a piece of another Lakers youngsters (Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart) on which the latter refused.

I wondered now if KCP will still give his 100% to the Lakers now that he knows the team is willing to take part ways to him.

I think it's not about giving your 100% but we know they are professionals so they should play the way they play as long as there are on that team no matter what the circumstances are.

They should give their 100% as they are expected to be. They are professional athletes and they are being expected to perform their very best and their coaches will be getting ahold of their skills so it can be useful on the court. They should not always play as they should be, they should play based on the instruction of their coaches as they will not be on the court if they will not be following the coach's instruction.
