The entire kerfuffle is MEDIA BLOWN.
1) If AD is the best player in the world, as he says- WHY would he want to got to L.A. & WIN a championship because of LeBron? Which they would NOT! The rest of the roster would be pretty bad.
2) How would AD, LeBron, 3 Mid-levels & 10 Minimum contracts be any better than whats on Pels roster?
3) AD would actually be going to L.A. to rebuild the team post LeBron. If he cant win with Pels, how is that Scenario better?
4) As far as MARKETING, if AD wins here, the marketing will take care of itself & HONESTLY, what difference should that make if AD is in it to win it, & not for the Money? Media says he wants to go to L.A. to win, YET, in their next segment, its about marketing ! Circular conversation!
5)Also, NOT ONLY can the Pelicans offer AD 70 Million more than anyone else---If AD moves to L.A., he is also OUT OF another $750,000 for every $10,000,000 he makes. So on $40,000,000 per year, he loses an extra $3,000,000 to California State Income Tax. 6% in La. 13.5% in California.
Why is AD the only supposed superstar that needs to go somewhere else to win?
