    I never understand why people seem to think that a lot of mediocre players = 1 great player. Only if they can do some Power Rangers shit.

    Best part of this is that every young Lakers player knows he is completely expendable.

    They seem perfectly happy to trot out Davis as the centerpiece of a losing team. Replacing him with CJ will at least net them similar results.

    The only thing worthwhile are those draft picks. THAT'S a haul! If a team is stupid enough to give them that many 1sts, they should absolutely take it. To hell with those players though! Take Zubac and flip the rest for anything you can get.

    If the Pelicans were insistent on JUST young pieces/picks for Davis, who could we look to as a partner to move CJ to, to get them other assets?

    Blazers In: Davis
    Out: CJ, Collins, 1st

    Team X In: CJ
    Out: Young players? Picks?

    NOP In: Collins, 1st, other pieces
    Out: Davis

    There was that discussion a week or so ago about Orlando, and not wanting to move Gordon, but to pair him with CJ...

    Isaac, Ross, a 1st for CJ? Isaac and the 1st to NOP?

    CJ is not young to rebuilding teams...Simons, Trent Jr., Biggie and Zach are young...these are the type of tank your butt off Pels targets and they are tanking...CJ will win them too many games

    If that's all it would take to get Davis, they would've already taken the latest Lakers offer.

    I get that Ingram and Kuzma and Ball are young...... but they're acting like Ingram is a young KD, Ball is a young Kidd, and Kuzma is........ I don't even know.

    The guys just aren't that good. They're pissed because they had high picks for several years and haven't really shown anything from it. They could have drafted Tatum. They could have drafted Brown. They could have drafted Porzingis. They just had horrible draft teams.

    This is playing out so well...Lebron injured...coach on the hot seat..players fighting ..GM puts the entire roster on the block...Lebron comes back
    Is it me or is this sort of like the New York Knicks after acquiring Carmelo Anthony from Denver? Coaching Ferris Wheel....bus station roster and a star?

    What I really like is that all the guys that got put on the block and snubbed will not resign for the Lakers. The next couple of years are going to be really bad for the Lakers they better hold on to their draft picks and pick well. If I was them I might put Lebron on the block next year if I could.

    Lakers down 23 in the 2nd quarter against an Oladipo less Pacers.

    Lebron is playing. Sorta. He's just standing there. Same as everyone else.

    What a cluster. Lebron and Rich Paul did this-- completely destroyed the confidence in all the young guys. Why try hard when they wanna get rid of you?

    Always respected Lebron but at some point theres a pattern... Lebron / RP and his group have to control the narrative, the media, never seems to be happy with his coach unless he has a guy who is basically working for him. When his teams win its because Lebrons great, when they lose its because his teammates suck...
    Might be the best player in the history of basketball but, I think may be abusing that power a bit too much, guess its his life / career not mine so his choice.

    Also I hated KD’s decision to go to GS, but I absolutely respect that they work for Free Agency so they can do what they want. I think all these Stars demanding to be traded a year+ before their contract ends is terrible for the NBA product though. This whole AD thing while its great to talk about and 29 teams can get their hopes up. It SUCKS for the NBA. Even if he comes here, I dont think its a great look for the NBA that their contracts basically mean nothing and players can control everything.

    Who would have thought it'd be off-court intangibles, team chemistry, and agents that cement Jordan as the GOAT?
