    @TBpup In fairness is it possible that Olshey asked about Davis and they weren't interested in a deal centered around CJ and/or Nurk making it virtually impossible to come up with a package good enough? Most people seem to be taking your statement as Olshey not super interested in AD which may not be the case.

    @tester551 Perhaps.....but maybe his agent is telling him that there is no way he would re-sign in Portland. So then Olshey has to decide if it is worth a 1 1/2 year run for the price it will take....and whether he and the Blazers could change the mind of the player.

    One thing, going to the Laker by then would mean LeBron would be nearly 36 years old at the start of the season. Is that where Davis would want to go to be with a 'contender'?

    If we don't get AD I hope it's because they simply didn't like what we had to offer (assuming everyone but Dame is on the table). If it is because we didn't want to risk losing him in the summer of 2020 I'm going to be pissed.

    Considering who his agent is, the agent has a vested interest in getting him to LA with LeBron. Of course the agent is going to say that AD will not resign.

    Agents are important in the process, but the feelings of the actual player are much more important. Unfortunately, most of the time we get to hear the agent's thoughts on the situation instead of the player's.

    Well it's still early in the process... This strengthens a lot of my negative opinions on NO. I think Dame and Nurk are a great tandem and CJ's pretty good at times too, but I don't think we will ever get a championship again without being willing to take some major risks. Like for instance taking a great player for a year and a half that and hoping you can find a way to keep him.

    Probably some combo of not wanting to lose AD in 2020 and not wanting to give up assets

    So I’m trying to figure out the AD plot lines. It sounds like Boston has the best offer, but has to wait till summer, so LeBron/Rich Paul put it out AD wants to be traded so that LeBron can get him to join his team before Boston has a chance. (Hence the tampering stuff). So are only real shot is getting the cast offs like Mirotic (which I like, btw). Anything else?

    Well New Orleans could give Rich Paul a big fuck you and refuse to trade him to LA. I'm actually hoping that's what happens.

    Lebron wanted Kyrie. Davis wanted out of NO, presumably to Boston. Rich Paul who represents both Lebron and Davis leveraged Davis, to put pressure on Boston to trade Kyrie(To LA to rejoin Lebron) so they could then trade for Davis.

    Davis and Lebron want things to happen now, not in the summer.

    Neil seeing it for what it is, is trying to weasel in be the middle man and get the collateral damage...Mirotic probably a main target.

    It was a joke. Try to lighten up. Maybe just a bit.
