There is not a single trade that is realistic that the Lakers would do right now for Davis. The only one that might make sense, is some sort of KD for AD trade and that’s only if KD asks out and specifically wants Lakers. Even then, the Nets could just trade him wherever they want.
Any other player is either untouchable, or worth more than AD. AD on his best, is the best thing the Lakers can hope for, but so far he seems 60-70% of his NOLA days. Yes the defense is there and some offensive spurts, but he can’t create his own shot now that the mid range isn’t falling and if he doesn’t get buckets from PnR actions, by the late 3rd, early 4th he doesn’t have the energy to bang some post buckets AND be the leading defender.

Yeah I highly doubt this to be true.
MindofShadow
Yeah this is dumb.
You’d have to fire sale lebron too. That won’t fly.

There’s also some buzz that I might get some action with Kate Upton

Nobody is giving up any real assets for Anthony “day to day” Davis

I don’t believe these rumors, but if true, as a Lakers fan, I’m all for it. He’s injury prone, he’s no a 1A guy, we aren’t winning a title any time soon. Trading him will help start the inevitable rebuild. Why wait?

If I’m Denver I would give up a ransom for him and go all out on a ring this year. Having Murray, MPJ and AD on one team isn’t ideal but you aren’t winning anything without a DPOY level defender in today’s NBA. Jokic would help him on offense too but they need a transformative defensive force to be true contenders IMO.
Load manage the shit out of him, pray that he’s healthy for the playoffs and hope for the best. Probably their only chance at a ring

Bill Simmons gonna Bill Simmons in his Bill Simmonsy voice.

i honestly wouldn’t mind the lakers gutting as much of the team as possible, trading for some future assets and young players and giving Ham some time to build a new culture. we can’t trade lebron but we do control almost all of our picks looking forward.

AD hasn’t been the same since he won the title. Doesn’t have the same competitive spirit or will to win anymore.

AD to Hawks
Hunter, turner, buddy to lakers
Collins to pacers
Move other players for salary requirements and picks

The jazz’s window is right now (and for the next 18 years). We’ll go all in on AD. Jazz get AD and two unprotected picks for Talen Horton Tucker.
shannon_g
To be clear – He’s available to trade for, not available to play a full season

not to play in a game, just to be traded

AD was by far the worst possible “superstar” LeBron could have picked to play with in the latter stages of his career. Soft, never available, doesn’t even care to win. Why tf did the Lakers give up such a kings ransom for this bum? And don’t chat me about the bubble ring please, I don’t wanna hear it.
RiseofParallax
I’ll personally drive Kyrie to LA if Lebron still wants him for AD
Kimi7
Oh yes, whenever I need an information about the Lakers I go to Bill Simmons
annoyingrelative
When was the last time anyone told Bill Simmons anything?
Forbidden_Donut503
Oh gawd here come the AD for Dame, Ant, Sharpe, 87 first rounders, and our first born son trade rumors.

To play a game or to be traded?

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kyrie and Claxton for AD with a conditional pick or two thrown in for the Nets.
njb2017
With his constant injuries and seemingly lackluster aggressiveness, i think it makes sense given his huge contract.

Who gonna trade for him tho?
Why would they sell low
Ad for Kyrie and Ben
I don’t believe this.
AD for Draymond (Lebrons fanboy) Wiseman Moody
