Report: Lakers want to hold on to Kyle Kuzma in an Anthony Davis trade https://hoopshype.com/2019/06/12/rep...y-davis-trade/ via @hoopshype
Before Griff was here he set a value to AD. He would lose a lot of credibility if he took anything less. Would have to hold on to AD till later if necessary.
If Kyle Kuzma isn’t involved they should cease talks with the Lakers. Kuzma, Ball, and Ingram should all be on the move including the 4th overall a pick so we can flip Ball, the pick, and Ingram for someone like Bradley Beal.
Pelicans: Kyle Kuzma, Bradley Beal, 2022 Lakers 1st Round Pick, 2024 Lakers 1st Round Pick
Lakers: Anthony Davis
Wizards: Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Lakers 4th Overall Pick

Here's an interesting conversation: what's the WORST return for AD you can imagine yourself being okay with?
For me, it's probably something like Beal, Ingram, #6, and a future first.
Basketball.
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
LOLLLLLL.
I swear after all the back and forth I've had to do for months defending not trading AD at the deadline even multiple times as recently as TODAY... For news to break that the Lakers are STILL basically all in minus Kuzma (so far)
AND the Celtics are still all in on getting AD.
This is the sweetest post I've made in months. I'm going to have fap material for weeks from this huge I TOLD YOU SO.
I know, right?
We SAID back in February that waiting was the best option. We said that any LA trade would still be available come June/July time. We said that Boston was still interested according to every piece of available info.
And now it's June, and what's happened? We were right. Lakers are still throwing assets at us, Boston are still ''aggressively pursuing'' AD, and Griff still has all the leverage.
I will be lmao if the Lakers don't get AD and Bron demands a trade all because they are being cheap af cmon man stop trying to get over on us, Griffin is not going to budge he would rather risk losing AD than let rich paul rape us.
Yes. But you don't want a team full of people all trying to learn the system. It will be hard enough intergrating Zion and whatever we get from AD. Jrue is a key piece is helping set an example for the rookies and already knowing the system to ease the transition. You don't get that with 10 brand new players on the team veterans or not.
