Anthony Davis traded to Lakers(page 272)

[apc]

Man I hate the fact that Rich Paul is his agent.

[PAOBoston]

Sound like he is trying to force his way to LA with the timing of this announcement. Not good for the Cs

[gouki88]

Oh-oh...
The thing that gives me hope is that NOLA doesn't have to respect his interests and can wait until the offseason when they could get more (better) offers.

Makes no sense

NO will trade him between now and trade deadline to the highest bidder. But also a team AD will resign with

Why would waiting not make sense?

More teams could make offers, there’s certainty about the draft picks they’d be getting, etc.

Davis has an option for next season

Why would he sit around and wait to be dealt to a potential team he may not want to join?

Everyone thinks Celts have this in the bag. Well what if Danny is not interested (lets just say).  What team with a winning landscape can trade for him and still remain competitive?

NO has lots to risk here also

NO HE DOESN'T

Yeah...I forgot

But i wouldnt rule him out being traded in the next 10 days

What is the pro of Danny waiting?

The cons are he waits until next off season and loses out

Time is now imo

The pro of DA waiting is that he wouldn’t have to trade Kyrie

Well he doesnt have to now

He can trade Horford or Hayward

No, he literally has to move Kyrie in order to get Davis this season. It’s an intricacy of the Rose Rule.

Once Kyrie signs his extension he can trade whatever pieces he wants for AD

[Jvalin]

If I were the Fakers, I would go all-in right now.

Kuz + Ingram + Ball + Hart + pick(s) + filler(s) for AD

The real question is, what should we do?

Sit back and hope for the best or enter the bidding war?

Only way for us to enter the bidding war would be to find a 3-way involving Kyrie.

[celticinorlando]

This is a power play move by Paul to try to get Davis to LA now to avoid NO looking at other offers this summer. The fact that the snake Rich Paul is his agent is concerning.

Rich Paul is also Mook’s agent. Inside lane!

[GreenFaith1819]

NO would be foolish to not wait to sweeten their offers..

But this IS New Orleans, so........

[RockinRyA]

Huge news. And it begins.

I would assume New Orleans is willing to hold off on dealing him until the summer, in which case we are 100% in the game.

Disagree

Too risky for NO

He will be traded between now and trade deadline

Book it

Why would it be risky?

The number of offers increases in the offseason. If you are the Pelicans, the more bidders, the better.

Ugh..why do I feel like Davis and Mook end up in LA...

Eh?

Explain

Matching salary (horford or hayward) plus goodies (rozier, brown etc)

Why does it have to be Kyrie?

So if Davis is traded between now and deadline he has to be traded for an allstar (incl in the package)?

I dont get it

Our best option is to get involved in the bidding, with the caveat that our deal could only be finalized in the offseason

[makaveli]

It has bein said that we can’t trade for the man like million times, and numerus times in couple of posts, and still some posters want us to trade people not names kyrie for him.
I am fine with him going anywhere not named warrirors, and east ofcourse.
