Kevin Garnett believes Anthony Davis will play for Lakers: 'It has to happen'
| Quote: | "I told Anthony Davis this to his face," Garnett told USA TODAY Sports in a telephone conversation this week. " 'You are not playing against the guys you are squaring up against every night. You are playing against history, man.'
"Anthony Davis playing in New Orleans, I don’t want to say they are wasted days, but they are non-days. He needs to be somewhere where he can be with another guy and they can have a run at a championship. He has been in New Orleans long enough. It is time for a change now. This is it. No better time to do this." |
| Quote: | "When Anthony Davis suits up for the Pelicans, that’s the best the Pelicans are going to be right there," Garnett said. "They are capped out. They are playing at the top of the level they can play at. Davis with LeBron James — he goes to another level and that’s scary.
"That’s why he needs to go to a team where he has a chance to hoist the trophy or at least have a chance at going in that direction. He doesn’t have that. Great players need to be with other great players. He is still 'the guy' when LeBron is there. They are both 'the guy.' That’s why you bring your superpowers together." |
| Quote: | | "I definitely get the sense (it is in the works)," Garnett laughed. "This is the craziest (expletive) I have ever seen. Rich Paul, LeBron’s best (expletive) friend is representing him? Come on, man." |
| Quote: | "Absolutely they can challenge Golden State," Garnett said. "You can’t leave Davis open. He is not just a one-way player — he can cover the basket, he can guard you, he can stay with you, he is long enough to make you take tough shots, he can block shots, he is going to dictate the game in so many ways it is going to be ridiculous.
"Then LeBron will be doing everything he does. How do you stop it? Everything is there for Anthony Davis. If he goes to L.A., he can have a six- or seven-year run that would be amazing. This is his time. It has to happen." |

But but, it's going to take 5/6 assets or more to get him?

LG 2008-2010: "Screw Garnett and screw Rondo!"
LG 2018: "Garnett knows what he's talking about and Rondo is a key piece to the Lakers future".

| Has Davis even said anything about wanting out? Or is the media trying to force him here to appease their media darling? |

| Quote: | Anthony Davis has a 15 percent trade bonus in his contract, which the New Orleans Pelicans would be responsible to pay if he's dealt in July.
This would mean an extra $4.1 million payment to Davis. The trade bonus would be negligible if he's dealt during the season.
"There's no way they're paying that trade kicker," a Western Conference executive said. "None."
There's a belief that Davis and Rich Paul could say they will only waive the trade bonus if he's dealt to the Lakers.
Davis could benefit from his next contract being shorter if he's dealt by the Pelicans. Davis would be eligible for the top-tier max salary in 2022. |

Nah, I bet he's trying to recruit AD to the Celts behind closed doors. (bleep) KG.

I don't think KG is that smart. Plus I don't think he cares that much about the Celtics franchise. He just got his there. He was always a punk b!tch and still is. |

The media is trying to force him here to appease themselves. A successful Laker team = easy reporting |

Garnett always belonged with Kobe.
Davis belongs with LeBron.
Do it, KG. |

Interesting that KG was almost traded from a small market to the Lakers (owner to owner understanding until McHale stepped in) but ended up in Boston. As a guy who took that path to a ring in green, is now saying 'go west young man'.
It's all AD needs to know |

Mitch tried 3-4 summers ago. He met Davis for lunch in a private dining room at the Four Season’s on Doheny. |
