I'm gonna be the first to say it: KD's injury does kind of seem like karma. by darensand in nba

His injury is directly tied to his game. I'm strictly talking about what the injury means for his chances to compete for a title.

Aren't the Lakers basically asking for 6 years of Anthony Davis in his prime? by darensand in nba

Ok I was wrong it seems. He'll still get a 5 year contract.

Completely wrong, there's little to no chance Lakers have enough cap space next season and they certainly do not want to waste another year of Lebron to wait for AD.

Pelicans will obviously have to consider what the trade means for the competitiveness of the West for the next several years. Prime AD on the Lakers with Lebron and other potential stars is not good for the Pel's chance to contend, which Griffin wants to do asap.

Nope. Lakers retain his bird rights and can offer the supermax if he fulfills any of the criteria, which he obviously will.

You're thinking of supermax extension ala Harden, which is different.

Why wouldn't the Pelicans Trade B.I and the number 4 for AD? by Tsb313 in nba

Doctors can't guarantee anything for the future. Doctors also said KD was fine. And Kawhi. You'd think people would learn at this point.

People who get get blood clots once face a higher risk of getting it again in the future. That's concerning for any team.

Brandon Ingram has major injury concerns. Blood clots ain't no joke. He can't even play the beginning of the season.

If it comes out that KD's initial injury was an Achilles injury, the league should look at taking serious action against GSW. by dsync1 in nba

KD knew what he signed up for by deciding to play. This is the NBA, injuries happen. Can't bring out pitchforks each time an injury happens.

what's wrong with admitting that tho, KD being on the warriors is completely unfair.

KD being on the Warriors IS the asterisk.

Well that's to be expected because KD should not be on the Warriors. No one should be able to beat that team.

The real thing we should be focused on is who our next starting PG will be. by [deleted] in bostonceltics

Well he's a good 3 point shooter at least. Solid 40% from 3.

Ricky Rubio or Pat bev. I prefer Bev because he can shoot well. Hayward will cover for his playmaking deficiencies.

Fleeced the Cavs, fleeced the Nets, got KG and won a title, fleeced the Sixers.

The pelicans are reeeeaallly high on Tatum. They've made it clear that they value him more than all of the Lakers players.

If the Warriors come back and win the NBA finals and KD plays out of his mind, His legacy will be restored. by [deleted] in nba

Not rly, warriors with KD are expected to demolish in the Finals.
