Woj reiterates Davis isn't staying in Boston, yet Ainge is undeterred. Hopefully Wyc hasn't gone insane, as Ainge obviously has, and intervenes before Ainge totally guts the franchise for a player who doesn't want to be here.
Uh, false. Woj reiterates that RICH PAUL IS THREATENING that outcome. That’s significantly different than Woj stating AD leaving as fact and set in stone.
I'm sorry, I thought Rich Paul worked for Anthony Davis. Oh, that's right, he does, which means you just spouted a bunch of nonsense.
He's not an independent running around and Davis doesn't care who's interests he represents. He speaks for Anthony Davis, whether the pro-dump it all for AD crowd likes it or not.
Are you really that naive to not understand what’s going on here, which literally goes on every single time a star gets traded? Sounds like you’ve just got blinders on and don’t want to believe it. It’s pretty obvious at this point.
AD HIMSELF has had multiple opportunities to come out and explicitly say that he will not resign in Boston, which would likely put an end to Boston’s pursuits. Yet in fact AD has said the exact opposite - that he’s not categorically opposing any team outside of NOLA. The only stuff we’ve heard about Boston has come out of secondhand reports coming from Rich Paul, and they’ve all been suspiciously timed around periods of time when the AD trade negotiations were hearing up. This highlights that these “leaks” are OBVIOUSLY strategically leaked to favor a specific trade target over another, as Paul himself said in the interview in SI today.
Sure, Davis definitely prefers to go to the Lakers. Nobody can deny that, as many players do due to the allure of LA. But there’s a reason AD himself has not come out and said he would not resign in Boston - he wants plausible deniability in the likely scenario that Boston does trade for him, as he knows he very well might re-up long-term if he is traded there if the team is successful. The only reason they are trying so hard to paint this image right now is to make themselves more overall money, let alone the fact that it may in fact be the case that neither LAL nor NYK has cap room for AD next year.
I mean, this is pretty obvious what is going on, as this is literally the MO of every agent and star that gets traded. Literally happens in some manner every single time.
