Around the NBA XI

[Countdown]

Just want to point out, the Lakers are 7-1 and the Pelicans are 1-7.

Remember when a lot of TV "experts" claimed the AD trade was fair for both teams. Or even more in favor of the Pelicans

LOL

Lets not get ahead of ourselves. The pelicans own our draft for the next 7 years.

They can have it. The 30th pick in the draft aint going to get them a star, lol

Wow the Rockets D sucks.

Yeah, but we are also one AD or LeBron injury away and then we become a lottery team again this year. Plus, AD can still sign anywhere he wants next year and if that happens then we are doomed for the next 5-10 years.

Building through the draft toward a true championship contender is just about impossible in the one and done era. You have to start re-signing these kids way before you know if they're going to be true game changers or not. We traded that reality for a guy who gets us closer than that group ever would. Injuries happen and Davis could walk. My guess is that he won't after the way he leveraged the situation to come here.

Rich Paul won't let him. Leave a championship contender in a huge market?

Might mean we get another year of KCP but if that's all it takes to sign AD long term I say go for it.

I agree, and I am actually one to like the gamble of re-building from scratch, were it not for what you mention — having to put ALL your cap space down on before you can truly know what you have, or they walk. Pelinka seems to have a nose for this part of it and we definitely seem to have the right FO staff on the scouting side.

We did extremely well in the draft over the last few years. We’re in win now mode because of the rookies we just traded. And because... Klutch, which is thanks to Magic.

AD spoke very lovingly about Chicago in an interview before the Bulls game. It’s not a slam dunk that he stays. Not unless we win it all this year.

I think LeBron know that this is what he’s playing for this season.

I wonder if hes had a history of them. If so, eating anything containing THC is really dumb to take.

Making moves!!!

[dockingsched]

He should really try to transition his social media stuff to his actual name not Lakers Film room, specially now that he’s his own brand now and he’ll be covering the entire nba not Lakers. Often forget his name and wouldn’t be able to pick him out of a crowd.

[TyCobb]

Tatum went 1/18. Anybody else and they are getting crucified. They should have really included him for AD. Yikes.

Not true. Blake was and is a star. Blake was and is elite. Blake developed his skills and added to his game.

Zo is an injury prone bust

The fact that Kawhi pretty much sucked vs Toronto and they still won doesn’t bode well for the lakers

Toronto was missing a bunch of shots that they made against us. They were tired didn’t defend the paint like they did with us.

Trae Young taking it to Denver! wow

[Landsberger]

Chicago beat NY by 18. Man that NY team could be first pick hunting early.
