Tatum will have to improve a lot to equal Davis offensively, and he will never be the defensive force Davis is. Oh, and Tatum is only 5 years younger.

Probably lives less than a mile from me, but in the fancy gated communities I'll never afford. That's like a 1.5 to 2 hour commute to downtown L.A. if traffic sucks on the 101, and it always does. He should've bought a spot in Santa Monica or Newport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Robert Williams, #14, #20, and Grizzlies 1st wouldn't be close? We don't know what Boston was offering and we never will, so you can't say nothing was close. All we know is Tatum was off the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practice in el segundo is going be an hr everyday even if arrives at 7am. But Kobe lived far too from the arena but he flew the helicopter to Staples. Dont think AD will have that privilege.

Canadian Saint Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 About the picks, Lakers can't trade any first round picks until 2026 right? Or if the 2021 pick is deferred? Or can you trade the pick swap picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preach. We've heard about how the Laker's offer was garbage, and all of a sudden the Lakers gave up too much? Give me a break Mookie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't deal their own FRP until 2026 at the earliest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone wanna recap what the Nets/Celtics trade brought back? James Young (2014), Jaylen Brown (2016), Markelle Fultz (2017), and Colin Sexton (2018).

If they gave NO the 1st, 3rd, and 8th pick LA would burn down. but they won’t so it’s fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 As much as I could continue to dump on Mookie, here's my thoughts on the trade. It's a risky trade for both sides with plenty of upside for both. For the Lakers, they're tying the franchises' future to Anthony Davis. And there's risk involved with that like anyone else. But the Lakers needed a legitimate co-star for LeBron James, and they got one of the best one available. And now, they're a premier FA destination if they weren't already. This absolutely opens up the door for that 3rd star to join the Lakers (think Kyrie or Kawhi). If they are able to land that 3rd star, those picks are borderline worthless. For New Orleans, they're taking on a TON of risk from Ingram's health to the picks that far in the future. Personally, I would have preferred the Pelicans taken on more "known" value, but it was going to be hard pressed to get more from anyone else. They got the most they were going to get for Anthony Davis, so kudos to David Griffin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
