Lakers pull out of Anthony Davis trade talks amid 'outrageous' requests by Pelicans

[Dray n Klay]

Only if stalker's dad did the same...

[Nash]

Lol they literally offered them EVERYTHING. Even Hart and Kuzma.

Best thing they could have ever done.

[DMAVS41]

Lakers should go after Beal.

[highwhey]

yeah, Magic is wise to walk away. pelicans are beyond stupid.

[Ben Simmons 25]

Correct move from the Lakers.

Now New Orleans can get a worse deal elsewhere because of pride and spite... and when your front office is that inept and emotional, is it any wonder you would demand a trade? Lol.

[RealSkipBayless]

Gonna be funny in the summer when Kyrie leaves and the Boston offer that they are waiting for doesn't include Tatum and is much lower.

The Lakers deal involving 4 young players + picks + taking away a bad contract is the best offer they are going to get. Magic isn't dumb, that offer that everyone says will still be there in the summer won't be. It will be lower as well.

Looks like Pop and company just convinced the Pelicans into being idiots. :applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

good move


NO is dumb

[highwhey]

Lakers should go after Beal.
doesn't seem like wizards want to part with him tho.

[Foster5k]

Best move possible for the Lakers. Pelicans were tripping, tripping. AD not worth EVERYTHING that the Lakers have. Lakers have other options and Magic has a plan B anyhow. The Pelicans screwed themselves out of spite and will regret it in the future. Good luck getting a better deal from Boston or Lakers in the future. :oldlol:

[AirTupac]

In this story: Monday night the Lakers changed the players in their offer to Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Ivica Zubac and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. But Lakers weren

Knicks and Celtics now in the drivers seat.

[Phenith]

This is from the latimes article from the twitter post...


The Lakers had agreed to send their entire young core of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and Ivica Zubac to the Pelicans, as well as veteran guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the people said.

The Lakers were also willing to also send the Pelicans two first-round draft picks.

And the Lakers were willing to give the Pelicans the salary-cap relief they wanted by taking back Solomon Hill, who has another year left on his deal after this season for $12.7 million.


Honestly, NO is being horribly short sighted, the deal they CAN get is unbelievably good for a guy who is publicly stating his desire to move on to a limited number of teams.
While I don't agree with him handcuffing the team publicly, to get ALL of the Lakers young players, plus 2 firsts for him would be an amazing haul to rebuild off. If Boston isn't promising Tatum, NO should be taking this crazy offer from the Lakers and running.

[pegasus]

Lebron must be on suicide watch. I can see him sit out the rest of the year, but he probably cares too much about career totals to do that.

[game3524]

I hope NY wins the number one pick now, just **** with Ainge.

Boston doesn't deserve ****.

[FireDavidKahn]

Not necessarily. Davis is still under contract through next year and then has a player option for 20-21.

If the Pelicans really wanted to they can just hold onto him until the trade deadline next year.

He wont be a FA this upcoming season.

why? ingram and kuzma are overrated chuckers. The rest is super trash. so trash and super trash for AD? AD has 3 more years left on his contract

[bullettooth]

Lakers deserve this. Every team that's dealt with them has gotten hosed. About time the Lakers got the finger from other teams.

Have fun with LeUnderachiever, suckaz.

I mean its the dream offer. Kuzma is a star in the making and would cheap for 2 years.. They would also have time to evaluate Ingram and Ball while they are on smaller contracts as well. They could develop well especially under anyone else but Walton.. Also get Zubac's rights who is also very promising. On top of that you get a terrible contract off the books AND picks?

The pelicans are insane. If this is all just to be petty and not send Davis where he wants to go... lmao :facepalm

no i wish boston trades a boat load and davis still leaves....

This is the thinking that's in the Pelican's front office. It's also the thinking that they will regret in the future. The Lakers were willing to give the Pelicans all their valuable assets. By refusing, for personal reasons and not business reasons, the Pelicans has screwed their own future for the foreseeable future.

[oh the horror]

hahahaah Laker fans on suicide watch

I know you

[Doranku]

The Pelicans turned down:

Ball
Kuzma
Ingram
Hart
Zubac
KCP
2 first round picks

And the Lakers were gonna take Hill's contract. Thank GOD they said no. I can't believe the Lakers would even offer that.

well to be fair neither AD or all those players combined equals a playoff spot so why not wait for a deal from a team that has proven young guys like boston has

Lakers have been more than generous here.

At least no one can say Magic and Rob didn

[AirTupac]

Dell Demps will lose his job when he gets a much worse offer over the summer from every team :oldlol:

Overall happy we didnt go through with it. Too much for AD imo.

[highwhey]

watch pelicans end up with rozier, smart and a 1st https://i.postimg.cc/3NKmm9xf/mjlol.png

[PickernRoller]

We can say that Magic and Rob are retards for even offering that package for AD.

This.

[LAmbruh]

Lakers dodged a major bullet


No point on panicking and firesale entire half decade of picks for a career loser who'll turn out to be a 3rd option 15/10 guy on a tender. Besides, were getting pennies on the dollar in years time anyways


LBJ's instant impact and team success acceleration blindly turn front offices from 'build' mindset into 'oh wow were a contender, I guess it's win now mode'


None of these Lakers players have asset value unless their attached to multiple 1st's. Not for Klove 2.0, no way

[oh the horror]

We can say that Magic and Rob are retards for even offering that package for AD.



The minute I saw that offer I was horrified.


I mean I knew it would take emptying some of our assets to get it done, but they offered everything we had.

[RealSkipBayless]

I know you’re just being a f*ggot like most do on here but no one is tripping in Laker land. Pels wanted WAYYYYYYY too much. You cannot just gut the team AND squander away ALL future assets moving forward.

At worst, we keep our talent, keep our assets and still have cap space for the offseason. We ain’t tripping here.
Exactly. We have options and flexibility. Lakers could sign a big name this summer and trade a few of the young guys for a different star and not the entire farm.

The pelicans are way overplaying their cards here. There were people on the Lakers reddit losing their shit over offering so much for him. New Orleans should be taking this deal and running. They better hope the Knicks get the 1st pick or Boston doesn't try to undercut them this summer. :lol

[Foster5k]

To all the Laker and Lebron haters.

History will look at this trade as a HUGE mistake by the Pelicans. The Pelicans future is screwed no matter what. AD is leaving and they're not getting anything close to what the Lakers were offering.

Meanwhile, the Lakers still have Lebron + cap space + valuable assets moving forward.

The Pelicans made this personal instead of making it about business. With a front office like that, no wonder AD wants out.

Pelicans...hold this L.

[AirTupac]

If its true we offered all 3... that alone is pushing it.

Reasonable offer was:

2 players from: Kuzma, Ingram, Lonzo
Hart
Wagner/Zubac (pick 1)
KCP/Stephenson/Beasley (pick 1)
and a couple of picks.


But the fact that Lakers offered more and still Pelicans wanted more.... Dell Demps is truly the worst GM in the league. :oldlol:

Bron bron needs to step up now

Seriously, they better pray NY gets the first overall pick or they will end up getting screwed over by Ainge.

[Real Men Wear Green]

:D

[Hey Yo]

You're probably one of the smarter Laker fans then.

There's a lot of morons that justt see a big name, see they're sending small names and think OH SICK!!!

Bron is the main one crying here...doesn't get his help and he hates developing younger players...
Dude probably is smart, but you don't need that high of an IQ to figure out that you're a f@ggot like he said.

But hey at least they are listening to pop and not doing business with the Lakers. :lol :lol

Also I still like Rozier, even this season his numbers in the games he's started have been pretty good. Slow your roll. Celtics just need to beat laker offer. Semi Ojeleye Hayward and a future first is more than generous.

Tbh I love Semi.

But he's the kind of player that will get overpaid by a team like the Magic, Pistons or Suns. (3years 14 million?)

But yeah Hayward is a great trade chip.
Keep Jaylen Brown, I think that guy can end up being a Rich Man's Jimmy Butler.

[thefatmiral]

Lebron must be on suicide watch. I can see him sit out the rest of the year, but he probably cares too much about career totals to do that.
I don't get why he joined this team anyway, if he's going to have issues with them losing. They were a lottery team before he got there.

There's a new reality show he's hosting that was advertised during the SB. :lol

Poor LeBron, what terrible ****in' luck. Imagine being a manufactured star with a free ride every year.

[100grandman]

This is all your guys fault. Now Lebron can't stack the deck. I blame ISH.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Imagine not wanting to give up 6 LATE first round picks to get Anthony Davis.... Magic is ****ing RETARD thinking he could get a superstar like AD by offering his trash core and two late first rounders. Lakers fans are just as stupid for thinking they could get AD with that offer also. I actually find it amazing that Pelicans just want 6-8 first rounders for a deal. All those picks will be late picks anyway

Hey Hayward was an All-Star. Which guy LA is offering other than Rondo (I'm assuming they were offering Rondo because really, who weren't they offering?) has shown All-Star play? They may have to include Rozier (15 ppg on 47% as a starter)if Demps is pushing a hard bargain, I suppose. Demps is known for taking advantage of teams in trades. Ainge better be careful with this guy.
