As most of you know I have been saying for the past couple of months I believe AD is the Lakers #1 target even if they have to punt the cap space to 2020. That's the guy I think they want to be the face of the franchise for the next decade. It would be nice to trade for him before 2020 but they will wait for him if they have to.
Why do you keep saying this every few hours on both threads?

I don't think you can build a really good team around him as your #1 option.
Just thrownig a hypothetical team out there:
Lonzo
Klay
Middleton
AD
Domantas Sabonis
How good would a team like that be around AD?
Seems like the perfect type of team for AD and even for Lonzo.
Even if you replace Lonzo with Jrue who's in his prime now, that's a good, but non-championship caliber roster, imo. You'd need at least a Lillard/Kyrie level creator out there with AD for that roster to give the Warriors a real scare.
Present day 5 all star Warriors, sure. But the money right now is the Warriors will be much weaker next year.
They will pay the tax
I think they would too, but I think KD will bolt, so their bill won't be as high.
scoobs, why can't the Lakers sign Kyrie on 7/1 and then trade for AD? That way Kyrie could get his max contract and the Lakers wouldn't have to jettison every player on their roster. _________________ Under New Management

I'd try to build a team that can beat the present day Warriors just in case. _________________ Under New Management

Good start! _________________ Under New Management
We might not get a third max because of Deng's stretched salary?
That's funny but also extremely infuriating. Those mother (bleep), Mitch and Jim still haunting us. Moz-Deng worst moves in Lakers history. Seeing Dlo dominate on the Nets
Is it feasible under the CBA to trade Ingram, Zo, and Kuzma (combined salary of $17.96M) along with Zu (3yr/$15M, only 1st year guaranteed) for Anthony Davis ($27.1M)? _________________ Under New Management

That would be ideal, but I imagine the Lakers learned from past mistakes and will make an aggressive push to get AD as soon as possible. Especially since Boston cant trade for him yet.

Wait until Lonzo is better than DLO and dominate elsewhere or when Ingram plays just as DLO, elsewhere again.

Yes
Then trading for AD now makes no sense to me. _________________ Under New Management
Pau didn't win a single playoff game before coming here. Ya'll are really worried that AD can't be Pau to LBJ's Kobe? In fact he will probably have a much larger role in being the #1 option on many nights and being our defensive anchor.
