Too much smoke.
Just like with KD to the Knicks.
I think the writing is on the wall.
When Davis signed with Paul you kinda get what they’re trying to do.
I just hope Danny doesn’t over pay for a rental.
It’s highly likely Kyrie is a rental as well....maybe we can get a Finals birth out of it.
I don't see why so pessimistic. Rich Paul is also the successful agent of Eric Bledsoe, Miles Bridges, KCP, Terrance Ferguson, LeBron, Cory Joseph, Kosta Kufus, Trey Lyles, Ben McLmore, Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris, Dejounte Murray, Nerlons Noel, Ben Simmons, JR Smith, Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters and John Wall among other less significant players.
Davis could've simply been looking for his services as an agent. Or maybe LeBron and Paul did talk to AD first and said "Hey man, you sign with us and we'll do our best to get you outta there like you want, this season." He signed in September. That obviously didn't work, and I don't think it necessarily means AD is on a warpath to get into L.A. with a 36 year old LeBron in 2020. They tried to get him out, it didn't work, and now he goes somewhere else for a year. I think if he likes it there and they're winning he would stay. Right now L.A. is better than New Orleans. In 2020, L.A. won't necessarily be better than where he's at then. It's not a foregone conclusion that AD would be a rental. These are the risks you take when you trade for superstars, just like when we traded for KG.
The Kyrie statement, I couldn't disagree more. He made a commercial about retiring his father's number here, he told the season ticket holders event he planned on signing and he was all over media day saying it. He gave the media some frustrated p--- off answers a couple weeks ago and they ran with it and convinced a bunch people he was leaving with out of context statements.
