AD still thinks he is competitive. Stilll cant accept the fact he will retire before Lebron
I'd trade Butler for AD… With 125 first round picks…. Lol…. It ain't happening…. Nobody wants a broken player… AD is broken and Dallas screwed themselves BAD
As a Mavs fan, FUCKING TRADE POWELL ALREADY
Every time you discus a possible trade of a big name player your go to is The Warriors!!! It’s kind of comical at this point.
Bro why would GSW trade JIMMY BUTLER for a guy who's a few yrs younger than him & still is FAR LESS DURABLE? Sure, AD's upside is higher than Jimmy but ever hear the term "the best ability is availability?" Well that applies here. It's no secret Steph Curry doesn't have a bunch of yrs left to his career, Butler or Dray either. But these guys are all far more durable than Davis and they don't have bilateral achilles tendinitis (a ticking time bomb; not goin away w/rest or anything. Not a question of IF, but WHEN; best case AD gets a few more yrs of career left & it progresses more slowly, worst case is it rears its ugly head almost instantly when/if AD returns & causes an earlier retirement than planned). GSW are gonna try to win w/Curry/Butler/Dray, etc while they have em. And if they were to trade JB or Dray, it won't be for a liability like Davis. Not happening. Picks will be very valuable to GSW very soon in the future & not saying they wont toss some away to get Curry one more ring if they can, but I'd think they'd be likely to go more for a guy who's durable & productive instead of take a COMPLETE GAMBLE.
Same w/CHI town. Vuc is certainly on the decline but he's still one of the most durable big men in the NBA, he may not be as productive, but he's still putting up plenty of floor games w/an occasional better game & he hardly ever misses games in what has become a Charmin soft league. Coby White has dealt w/injuries a lot lately, but he's still just 25 yrs old & I don't believe he's quite yet hit his ceiling at all. Just my opinion, but I think Coby White could be a 23-25+ PPG guy for the next several years in the right system w/decent other counting stats once he gets healthy if he can stay healthy, especially in the current Bulls system, w/Giddey (a great floor general) running things. However none of this is to say the Bulls WILL NOT deal Vuc &/or White as early as this year (depending on how the season goes for them, especially if they start to fall outta things &/or look like nothing more than a low seed play-in team at ABSOLUTE BEST), but why would they go for Davis? They could most likely get a different very good player for those 2 (especially if they throw in a pick &/or Kevin Huerter), so why take one of the biggest current injury liabilities in the NBA? I just do not see it happening my man.
I'm 110% w/you, the Mavs HAVE to move AD ASAP, this is a MUST make move on their part. But it's gonna be like moving Mt. Everest. There are too many other good players out there (Kings have already been talking about going into full on rebuild mode & dealing all of Sabonis/DeRozan & Zach Lavine, for example) & Dallas won't be the only tanking team looking to fully rebuild & offload some stars. For a guy like Sabonis, far more durable & therefore been much more productive than AD lately, it'd likely cost the Bulls or Dubs more. But it seems a lot more worth it than to go absolute dice roll & all out on a gamble that imo isn't even 50/50 & acquire Davis. I personally do NOT think Anthony Davis will ever play 50+ games EVER AGAIN in the rest of his NBA career, whatever amount of time that ends up being, and would be far from shocked , if he's hanging up the jersey by 2027 or possibly SOONER. Enjoyed the video tho, it'll be interesting to see if Dallas can fleece anyone for AD. Maybe a team will be stupid &/or risky enough to take the gamble & gut their roster, for a guy who may give them as few or maybe even LESS games than he gave the Mavs. We'll see!
Houston has great food , but AD played for LA and new Orleans. Im sure he was eating good there too
You need to make a video on brett seigel’s article on AD’s exit from the Lakers!
Force a trade…the nerve lol. Right now AD is worth just a bag of chips.
I like SA as a place for AD. Ik they’re playing incredibly well right now but they need another scoring Option in order to prevent Wemby double teams like we’ve seen. Ik they’d have to give up a lot but I think Wemby and the organisation are keen on making a deep playoff run ASAP.
Patrick Dumont is an idiot and he's as responsible as Nico for this mess.
I wonder if Luka is happy to see the downfall of the Mavs.
Texas food is trash. Just grease, salt, and sugar.
AD for Butler??? Yeah and the mavs next 75 1st round picks, 102 of their next 2nd round picks, and a frozen turkey for every employee of the GS organization.
Okay, now we can negotiate but take this or the price goes up!
They always said AD is one of the best PF when healthy, but when?
1:40 let SGA make free throws is always gonna happen
Stop with the gambling ads…
Warriors fan. I'm not making that trade if it's me. There has to be a better move to make.
You need to cover Brett Seigel’s Clutchpoints Article on AD’s exit from Lakers!
This is the trade Anthony Davis for Draymond Green and pods and Kuminga
It will be harder coz unlike Wemby cooper flagg may not attract big free agents to join his team.
They should definitely keep christie and lively at least for now
Horrible for the Bulls, makes no sense
You expect the Dubs to give up Jimmy and a 1st for STREET COTHES??? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
As a raptors fan I hate to say it, but Masai Ujiri would be perfect
GS pass on that.
Don't promote gambling bro, you are better than that. Gambling can ruin people's llives
That warriors trade so bad why would Bucks do that lol
More importantly, HOW could you tell if AD is seriously injured as opposed to 365 minor injuries?
Bulls Mavs trade is TERRIBLE
1:15 stop the cap 🧢🧢🧢 you're already promoting gambling so stop capping that "it's not about the money" bs 😂
look at him opening his ass again for a gambling site
Naji Marshall is the player you want for your bench.
Warriors pls!!
You’ve been making so many videos through the years with the super star wearing a warriors jersey smh let’s move on from that and of course you don’t bet on prize picks they pay you
Just swap him for Markkanen
Why say klay Thompson from LA?
We'll take Kyrie in Htown for a remix song with KD
As long as GSW doesnt get AD im good
Mavs could have rebuilt from the Luka trade. They could have gotten 4 or 5 first round picks for him but Nico Harrison sold him on the cheap and blew a golden opportunity. All because he was enamoured with Anthony Davis.
thumbs down for gambling ad….
Let them get Ja Morant and he can play the 2 once Kyrie comes back! Trade AD and Klay!
Y’all treating cooper flag like he’s Jesus. Still unproven. And isn’t off to the start we all hoped for
Chicago making that trade would be insane!
Cody Martin??
luka and kry made the finals then they added klay imgine what they would of done this year
Gambling ads 👎🏻
the Lakers need AD to make the 2nd round atleast 😂
Mark Cuban for GM
Man these gambling ads are sad to see. Creators should have a bit more integrity
