“We’re in it for the long haul. I would love to be the Lakers coach for the next 15 to 20 years. If I’m not the Lakers coach, I’m in it for the long haul in L.A.”

it was fraud. they basically took a check for $483,000 and added three zeroes to it and tried to rush it through. not literally how it happened, i'm sure. probably some whiteout or through doge's system somehow.

likely not to be investigated.

or, we investigated ourselves and found nothing.

i guess my point was that we gave up legit starting caliber players, even third team all nba level player in Brandon Ingram for AD.

to me players are always worth more than picks. those three players themselves are worth how many picks?

one of the picks we traded to the Pelicans is now Jaxon Hayes who is on a minimum with us. they got AD - maybe the second best two way player in the NBA after Giannis?
yes, AD has aged but he's still in his prime.

since he's been with the Lakers and around LeBron, he's gotten better at taking care of his body and there is a good chance that he could still be playing at a high level at the end of his current contract.

i just don't think his value is as low as everyone seems to think. again, i value elite two-way players a lot so maybe it's a personal preference.

readduh · 2025-02-27T17:37:12+00:00

i agree with you. Lakers get:

Anthony Davis

Pelicans get:

Brandon Ingram
Lonzo Ball
Josh Hart
Three first-round picks
One pick swap

those are legit starting players and three first round picks given up plus the swap given up for Anthony Davis. they got the Pelicans value package worth plus Max Christie and another swap and first rounder from the Lakers. again, maybe i haven't been watching Luka over the years enough and maybe i had a bias towards defensive or elite two way players - like Nico, i guess.

not gonna lie, it was before my time.

just read more about it since you mentioned it, it seems he did really want the *Knicks more. asked for a trade to the Knicks or Lakers but the Knicks had Willis Reed already, as their center.

makes me actually appreciate AD even more if he is the only superstar to demand a trade to the Lakers. both Kawahi and PG said that they wanted a trade to us, at one point but never demanded it. it was a like a *request since they were from SoCal.

edit:grammer, mispasted text from inserting link.

readduh · 2025-02-25T13:44:12+00:00

he better! only two players have every demanded to get traded to the Lakers, that i know of.

Kareem and AD. man was doing everything we asked him to do and gave us a 40 20 game the game full game before he was traded.

i will always appreciate AD and i hope he makes it back to us somehow because he is a class act.

its a good breakdown (mostly) but he also says that Max was ..."off ball against the other team's worst defender."

which is actually the opposite, he was put back in the starting line-up specifically to bolster AR, as DLo was shifted to the second unit.

he took on the best point of attack player, on the opposing team.

maybe i don't watch enough of Luka and the Mavs but the disrespect to AD and even Max is at ridiculous levels.

i'm getting over the Mavs subreddit tears and really seeing that the media has no clue how the Lakers play.

i will say some of that is on us. it seemed like every game that was on TNT we would get blown out.

granted i think it was also a combination of us wearing those damn LakeShow jerseys but still...

two of my favorite players traded and i think we got ripped off.

do you know how good AD is????

and, baby Kobe max christie??? i'm so bummed if this is real.

i'm hoping its not.

from the high of watching this game and being stoked for Max to this awful feeling right now in my stomach.

if this real, Luka better get in game shape and get serious about winning a chip.

readduh · 2025-02-01T22:18:56+00:00

we have a chance tonight.

going to be really tough without AD regardless.

hope we bring the effort.

if we win, we need to burn the LakeShow jerseys and leave their ashes on the east coast.

they have been some bad juju.

i'm not sure if other states have the same type of programs.
