OH NONONONONONONONONONONONOO

He'll be ruined like every other center that played with Lebron

You all realize that the Lakers fell into the 4th pick for this exact purpose right? The NBA needs a new Lebron sidekick.

Jesus Christ. Trade your entire future for a constantly injured regular season babby to pair up with an old washed up LeBron for a few seasons.

>3 FUCKING 1st ROUND PICKS

WHAT THE FUCK LMAO

>trading away 3 first rounders for a guy that’ll leave after you don’t win the finals next year

O I am laffin

The Pelicans won this trade

>Get rid of Anthony Davis, whose miserable and injury prone
>Guaranteed to get Zion
>Get 4th Pick
>Get starting Point Guard and decent enough small forward and rotational big off the bench

The only real loser here will be the Lakers when Anthony Davis eventually gets injured and they realized they mortgaged their future for him an an over the hill LeBron

Ball is the only really good.

>muh picks
who cares, they need to win now with lebron not in fiver years

5 lottery picks in total for Anthony Davis. Lel.

And they wont even do that, lmao

um, doesn't Ingram have blood clots???

do you really think anthony davis and a Lebron past his prime can help a team who didn't even make the playoffs this past season?

No. That's why I said they traded Ball and Ingram (2 lottery picks) and their next 3 first rounders (I'm implying these will be lottery picks because the Lakers are still trash and potentially even worse) for Anthony Davis. Try keeping up, buddy.

Lonzo would of fit in nice with James and Davis, they fucked up this was his break out year. That kid was fun to watch Pelicans will ruin his career

You can have 3 max players and still be a middling playoff team if you have shit for depth. We just saw what happens to the Warriors. As soon as their stars went down, their lack of depth got exposed. The same thing is gonna happen to the Lakers if they get greedy and try to cash in.

Plus, we don’t even know what they’ll look like together on court.

>have the best distributor and top 3 player and a top 3 big man and defensive monster

Why are we laughing again? The chip is theirs
Oh wait, you lot actually rate le 40% FT man and le bloodclot slender man and some trash ass picks?

The Lakers just traded away their depth for a rental.

>gutted
kek, they lost a solid starter in Ingram, a project who needs better coaching to improve (Lonzo), a literal who in Hart, and draft picks that are useless to a win-now team.
Would have been better if they kept Ingram and lost Kuzma instead, but overall , this was a solid deal. It not only helps them now, but as Lebron ages they can continue to build a team around AD

You idiot faggot. Top heavy teams go to shit when the star talent gets injured. THAT’S what happened to the Warriors.

You’ll be shit out of luck when AD eventually gets injured and we all know he will and LeBron has to load manage with a depleted bench.

Youre all fucking morons, lebron's still top 3, AD is top ten being closer to 5, and their gonna get either jimmy butler, kemba walker, or kyrie. The 2020 nba finals championship is all but guaranteed

>top 3 player

Can’t even be a top 5 player if you don’t make the playoffs

>Go to shit
>Made it to the finals
Yeah because I'm sure the Raptors with their epic depth would have been champions if Kawhi (who is also injury prone) just happened to get injured.

its gambling odds retard

not to mention trading ball for chicagos 7th overall or something along those lines

Trading its future for a player that barely play 60 games a year is incredibly stupid. Next year the Pelicans will have a much better season than the Lakers.

you can't trade 1st round picks in back to back years so they'll be shit again by the time the last one comes up

Raptors won't even get past the Celtics now that Irvings ass is gone.

the Lakers literally didn't have a shooting coach. Give Lonzo a year with a shooting coach and he'll be a good PG
Warriors didn't have depth the last two years and it worked out for them. 2 championships in 3 years isn't bad.
>rental
Yes, once his one-year contract is up Anthony Davis will leave the Lakers to join... the Lakers. Have you not been paying attention? This whole drama started when AD's agent (who is also LeBron's agent) said that AD wants to play with AD in LA

LeBron is a douche and no one wants to play with him and Davis will leave at the end of the season

AD has NEVER played a full season, and he's coming off a 56-game season.

The Lakers traded their future for an injury prone rental and are trying to pair him with a (soon to be) 35 year old LeBron. Lmfao.

Can't wait for the 30 for 30 on the downfall of the Lakers.

LeBron, AD, and Kuzma, with a nonexistent bench.

This is what Lakers fans unironically believe consists of a playoff team, LMAO

How is that possibru?

>he cares about divisions

gutted? more like they emptied the trash bin. Draft picks a bit of a hit tho

It’s kinda hard to entrust a franchise to a big man in today NBA with how the game is played.

The small ball, motion offense, and up and down game will take its toll on their body. AD is also injury prone.

And there’s still the chance he becomes a free agent at the end of next season

Lonzo was trash
Ingram was trash
Hart will be missed I know some people will say otherwise but honestly was a key piece for the future

3 first rounders don't mean shit since lakers will just max out anyway

honestly right now it looks like a even trade with a slight favorite to NOLA if they flip the 4th or even better lonzo(if they manage to flip lonzo for a first rounder they won the trade hands down who the fuck is dumb enough to do that)

Lonzo and Zion... Pelicans dynasty starts in 3 years

You definitely can’t load manage in the West, let alone the pacific division. You can get away with load management playing the Knicks and Wizards 4 times a year, not the Warriors and Clippers.

Nothing in basketball brings me more joy than seeing Lakers fans delude themselves into thinking the team is back in its prime.

How are draft picks useful to a lebron lakers?

We're a bunch of half-full guys, because we need all the water to take our meds!

Exactly

The Lakers are fucked. This reminds me of what the Nets went through like 4 or 5 years ago.

goddamn. Pelicans are robbing the entire league right now.

Well, we gonna need picks for backup when LeBron and AD inevitably get injured

Lol do you not remember last offseason? Laker fans thought they were going to the conference finals minimum and look how that turned out. Or the dwight Howard experiment.

If people think the Lakers will win, and Vegas and analytics know they're shit, and the odds only pay out 2:1, it will make Vegas a killing. Either they capitalize on retards making shitty bets because of their feelings or they only pay out 2:1.

Where were you when Pelicans became a simple superteam farmer tending to their future superteam

>The odds are meant to make money, not to represent the likelihood of something happening.
This is literally 100% correct though. They adjust the odds accordingly to what bets are being placed, not what they deem the most likely outcome.

This is going to end up like the Nash and Howard trade a feel years ago.

Clippers are still the better team in LA.

Shouldn't you be helping Bronny with practice, LeBron?

Can someone explain why AD is worth so much? I'm more of a casual fan who's barely heard this niggas name mentioned the last 5 years.

he's a future HoF

but in this case the pelicans know the lakers are desperate so they jacked up the price, smart move from them

lelbron & the lakers can't afford to miss the playoffs again, too much lost revenue from not making it, they had to mortgage the future

Actual Pelicans fan in NOLA and I'm laughing my ass off right now. Even if things don't eventually work out with these future picks, man it's just amazing to basically cuck the lakers future draft.

Imagine if the Lakers miss the playoffs again next year.

and they have a third max slot to add Kemba, or add more shooters

AD would destroy Jordan 1 on 1

Okay, look, I have an appreciation for AD, but saying that "he didn't reach the Finals until he was 28" is stupid as Hell, because he reached the Conference Finals twice and had to be man-handled by the Pistons on three occasions to the point the league decided maybe a player didn't deserve to be potentially decapitated just because he was a guard finding a layup line in the paint. People saying the league "softened and rolled over" for Michael didn't know how bad the Pistons were.

On that note, the 80s Pistons were scum not because they played rough, but because they played dirty. Imagine being so vile that you don't see the harm in "tapping" Larry Bird's back knowing how bad it was and end up surprised that Bird holds a grudge against you (Laimbeer). It was like a team of Zaza Pachulia babies, except for Joe Dumars and Dennis Rodman; the former was a gentleman and the latter was just crazy.

Any big man would, really. It's one-on-one. Basketball's a game of 5v5, though, and the triple threat is a thing.

Implying

Draft format changed. No way in hell the Lakers finish with more than 55 wins this season.

>durr we got a HOF player hes better than jordan
Knicks fans in 2011 would say this right after they got Carmelo. Leave it to large market retards to dictate what they know about how basketball works.

Did anything the Knicks give up for Melo even turn into anything good? It isn't like the Nuggets became a good team after Melo left either.

of course they can, they just need the other team's best players to get injured again

anyone have the Homer into bushes meme with Warriors/Lakers jerseys?

2 first round exits the first two years after the deal, but then sub .500 records until Jokic became the player he is. The players they got in the deal like a Gallinari were gone the last 2 years where they were above .500 again. So it was basically a wash for both teams.

>Pellies gonna be a force in a few years

*months

i just want to see the lakers crash with no survivors

This is one of those rare trades where it works out well for both sides. Lakers will be the team to beat now, Pelicans should be the team to beat in a few years.

The young Lakers players are about to go from underrated to overrated, but as someone who knows they have great potential they weren't a great fit with LeBron.

lol wut? He sat out longer last year because he didn't want to play for the Pels. He had 75 games the two prior seasons.

I fucking speak into existence that Kawhi joins the Clippers and makes this Lakers move into a curse on the franchise for the next 10 years. This is such a stupid move, trading your future for a guy that cant finish an entire season healthy. Come playoff time it will be a sidelined AD and Lebron complaining that he doesnt have enough help. Three seasons from now Lebron and AD are out of the Lakers, leaving the team bankrupt and starting from the ground up again. I fucking swear Im done being a fan of this horrible team. KAWHI PLEASE JOIN THE CLIPS AND BRING IRRELEVANCY TO THIS FUCKING SHITSHOW

Personally I think they'll be extremely on both sides of the court

I thought the Lakers young players were overrated busts?

>Trade all three of your TOP 2 picks in the span of 3 years

Lmao what an embarrassment of a franchise

I should say they worked out really well for both sides. To the point where they both made each other championship/future championship contenders. And for the Lakers, they still have AD as a building block after LeBron declines/retires and continue pulling marquee free agents.

>Kyrie
Not gonna play with Lebron ever again
>Kemba
He about to get paid big time being the leader of his own team
>Butler
Lmao this is implying that he'll have a better chance with the Lelkers than with their Sixers squad

literally billy kinged your franchise for the next ten years so lebron can compete for one year before he's perma-washed.

OH YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

ITT: Lakers Cope
When AD gets injured and LeShit blames the fans that are his bench keep that shit talking up.

Not a great trade for the Lakers
>inb4 3 titles in a row
I expected to be Davis for Lonzo or Ingram + 4pick + something, not both (the other 2 first round are likley to be +20/25)

But I understand that they worked years for this post season, created salary space and signed LeBron just to attract talents and now they want those superstars
Kawaiiiiiiii won the title so he will resign with the Raptors, Klay fucked up his knee, Durant ded, Kyrie will not play with Bron again, less and less options, I bet they wanted Bron-Leonard-Thompson and now there's the plan B

I don't think Kemba will move because he doesn't fit in a team with Bron and Brow, Butler maybe but he already has a great team with Phila, they can add some role player like Redick and Green, maybe get Rozier and Beverly, this kind of players but the other superstar can be only Butler

>trading your entire team for 1 guy

Their youngest player now is 26 year old Kuzma.

It worked for Miami in 2006.

>AD is remotely comparable to Jordan

Neither made the finals before age 28. Boom, Compared. Both play professional basketball. Boom, compared again.

Reminder that they now only have 3 players on their roster above replacement-level and they'll only have either have 27.8 or 32.5 million to fill out the rest.

Guys like Reddick will sign cheaper for longer to chase rings, but this team is basically going to look exactly like the 2018 Cavs with AD instead of Love and they're in the West. Might be good enough to get one ring, but they're not the favorites and another aging roster will ultimately do lebron in.

>the leltics angry ass cope
I could smell you're seethe from the screen, Gene.

Kobe is ruthless, and a ball hog, both of these things turned Dwight off. LeBron has been friends with AD since fucking high school. They've had big time dinners multiple times this year and very recently. They're already great friends and LeBron will feed him because that's what he does and it will be easy. He's far better than Bosh/Love too and second option rather than third so no, that's not a legit argument.

The mere fact they kept Kuzma who is NBA ready unlike Ball and Ingram, and they have enough to sign Kemba Walker means this trade is a fucking major win the for Lakers. Celtics fags will always be seething

Bruh, the current NBA champions are all mid-late draft players, some even undrafted. The Lakers will be the WORST TEAM IN HISTORY by the time 2025 rolls around, and it will take them AT LEAST 4 years to recover from that.

If you're actually from LA, I'll accept that but if not you're just a Kobe stan and bandwagoner.

Averaged 29 10 and 8/9 coming off of his injury on good efficiency and even though the injury still affected his game. Defensively he was above average by all metrics(and eye test faggots) despite the memes. Keep on being delusional though.

Would love to have him but he'd waste his prime, we won't be good until a few years later(and later than Pelicans). He already said he doesn't wanna come back home, supposedly thinks it's not a good idea even though he stayed out of trouble from what I heard. The only other place for him to go would be the Knicks and they're still gonna be shit next year since all their hope collapsed.

He's also a huge LeBronfag since high school and LeBron has been friends with him since his senior year(went to his camp, and he also met him up at Kentucky and Rich Paul's client and they've been hanging out blah blah he will be happy as shit even if they miss the playoffs(they won't). I honestly think he doesn't care about Chicago much anyway which is rare for people from here.

>no one wants to play with him
It's amazing how delusional after they just got arguably the best young player in the league who has openly making a massive dramafest by making his intention clear he wants to be LeBron's teammate. Like how do you say this right now dummy lmao

Also, Kawhi still wanted to be traded to the Lakers after LeBron signed. I hope he doesn't go because that would be the new unfair brainless championship team but I think it will happen slugger. You'll cry really bad soon.

isn't wade from chicago? and isiah thomas? seems like they had no issue leaving that murder state

Except Nash was like 40 and Dwight was offensively challenged and Kobe was an ass to him and didn't feed him meanwhile LeBron and AD have all those things the total opposite.

So no, they're not the same at all.

Funny because all of the last six months before today you all were saying how weak the Lakers assets were and that you didn't want to deal with them whatsoever especially to send a message but move those goalposts breh.

>"gutted" a 37 win team

JESUS NO, say it ain't so

Yea, they are. No idea what you're trying to say though.

Lakers will finish 2nd or 3rd in the West, then get BTFO in the playoffs by the Warriors or Thunder in the first round

lol so we're rating these two teams we spent the last week and month clowning?

I don't really see how saying they're going to be a 6th/7th seed is rating them. Klay will be back by the playoffs next year, and their bench will tear apart the Lakers. The Thunder will also take them out just in general.

Based and Lakiespilled

Lol please LeBron almost beat the Warriors with nobody in 2015, with AD it's a sure thing and we still don't know who's coming next but they're gonna get some 3 point shooters and defenders. That's all they need to be the favorites, not even a third star. And Thunder got exposed hard, Blazers aren't a contender.

I wonder if you still don't know the context of that or do and are still misrepresenting it, by the way that's mamba mentality

Don't pretend like Lakers haters weren't calling Lonzo hot garbage and Ingram a poor man's Durant before the trade, funny how opinions change so quickly

And they're already unintentionally giving LeBron excuses if they don't win it all next year, but we know they won't keep the same energy if they lose.

>giving away (possible) future stars that won't blossom until LeBron's over the hill and late draft picks for one of the best players in the league they could never dream of living up to to pair with LeBron while he can still give you 25 7 7 and the rest of the league will be running to join them from stars to vets
Yea, man I mean what were they thinking? Why don't they make you a GM.

>one of the best players in the league they could never dream of living up to to pair with LeBron while he can still give you 25 7 7 and the rest of the league will be running to join them from stars to vets

AD literally misses time over 3 times a year due to being made out of glass, also lelbron is coming off his first injury shortened season, he's not getting any younger, where's the guarantee he will play at least 68-72 games in the cutthroat West, also the "rest of the league running to join them" argument is hilarious given how people thought stars would flock to the Lakers immediately after lelbron joined. The best player the Lakers are pursuing is a guy that is literally willing to take less money to stay in a mediocre team in the east, I don't know what the fuck will the lakers do with the absolute lack of roster depth they got right now but it'll be fun to watch the lakers become a 7th seed team now

Stop regurgitating meme talking points guatermelon. Kawhi still wanted to be traded to the Lakers after LeBron signed and he got two of his old nemesis' to join him at the same time and helloo???? This whole Anthony Davis saga? You fuckers are astoundingly retarded still spouting that narrative.

Like yall niggas really hate lebron for supposedly "starting" superteams and simultaneously say no one wants to play with him like holy shit you're stupid.

>guaranteed 2-peat in 2020 and 2021
Worth it

The man is ring chasing, he wants a win now situation

That's not a correct usage of "ring chasing".

>PER

lmao

fyi ring chasing is an old vet, usually one who never got a ring, joining a championship contender

>old vet
But I guess we can make an exception for Durant! Hey-oooO!

>Blazers aren't a contender.

Nurk will expose AD. He coming back with a vengeance

Plus the Raps had an extremely short bench. Guys seemed to be in danger of fouling out almost every game

Idk who can even argue that. They obviously would not have been champions without Kawhi. His performance was up there for goat in terms of a single post season

15 =/= 60/2

Why do people say the corniest dumbest shit? And why is it usually foreign flags? Do soccer playing flags take American posts seriously?

>LeBron really turned a slow rebuild into a win now situation and everybody’s okay with it

He's 34. Win now is literally his only option.

>Do soccer playing flags take American posts seriously?
Not in the slightest

They can now finally build a good team around Moe Wagner with James and Davis supporting him.

>Thunder
did I miss something? Were the Thunder part of some blockbuster trade where they got rid of Westbook and added a relevant superstar?

>Warriors are still the favorites to win again
Are you retarded

How are they gonna win the title when they play with that Game 7 4th quarter squad all year. They'll be the 4th, 5th or 6th seed

This AD trade will go down as the worst trade deal since the pierce garnett celtics nets trade deal. Perhaps far worse. Especially if Ball gets good like d'lo did. Lakers just created Warriors 2.0

Why do you fags insist on comparing way past their primes on the edge of retirement players to Anthony Davis?

And Lonzo is good but up until yesterday he was considered a universal bust.

Fuck off bananapicker and pick our bananas while we choose your next dictator.

Lakers? What do you expect from a team owned by an actual whore that got rammed by Magic Johnson in the 80's?

Attached: 51WgKiFzVCL.jpg (500x400, 47K)

Because AD makes A'mare Stoudemire look fucking durable. Enjoy the ride Lelkers fan.

Meanwhile Lonzo has had two big injuries and Ingram with a potential clotting issue. Do you want to stop being disingenuous at some point? Because the contradictions and inconsistency over this trade really exposed how fake niggas be.

Also, Bulls fan but also a LeBron fan. Like AD too since I'm from Chitcago and he's a beast.

Klay will be back by midseason and there's a good chance KD will be back by the Finals.
I don't know if they're favorites but they're still up there, assuming they keep Klay+KD. They probably would have won Game 6 if Klay stayed healthy, even without KD.

Lebron is 34 you dumbass.

Lonzo, Ingram, hart won't be good players until Lebron is retired. Those picks will either be late first round or he will have left the franchise by the time they are worth anything. How hard is it for u retards to understand. He just wasted a year of his prime playing with Lance stephenson and Javale. Any "overpay" for getting AD won't be felt until after they have made several playoffs run. Plus the west is wide open next year since GSW will struggle to make the playoffs. Waiting for Davis in free agency, wasting another year of Lebron, especially while GSW is dead would be absolutely retarded. Both teams won the trade. Lakers will make the finals easily next year if healthy. They have no competition, gsw is dead, denver not good enough yet, Portland never good enough, OKC never good enough, Spurs not good enough. Kings, jazz not good enough yet. Rockets fucked by CP3 contract. Only threat is Clippers if they get max guys.

>getting BTFO by Curry (doubled and tripled every possession), Draychuck, and pensioner Iguodala and Livingston
Lmfao they will be lucky to get he 8th seed

>pre trade

LMAO lakers offer is GARBAGE lonzo and ingram are fucking T R A S H lmfaooo

>lakers get anthony davis

>LMFAO lakers got HOSED omfh they gave up lonzo AND ingram AND late firsts omfgg

Yeah yeah nobody is good enough except the Lakers with Davis, Lebron, a bunch of G-leaguers and old grandpas held up by screws.

NBA Twitter was a fucking mistake. It goes without saying. Nothing like thousands of low IQ niggers and their horrendous takes.

>wanting ""mamba mentality"" from lebrick
he'll always pass and that's a good thing.

ring chasing is actually when you chase a ring

that squad would easily beat this year's GSW. Just watch the roster come together. I'm not even a laker customer I just think its funny how you lot seem to enjoy piling on the lakers. Massive cope. East is far superior to West now.

the current roster is dogshit mate. it's like you did not learn a single thing from last year miserable season. they need to add bunch of shooters before even being considered at the level of denver, portland or even the rockets.

I said watch the roster. They are only keeping a handful of players. If they sign another max player, ring chasers will sign for cheap. If they don't, they can get some more quality rotation players with that cap space and ring chasers will sign for cheap. I would be shocked if they didn't learn their lesson and make getting shooters to fill out the roster a priority, it seems too obvious. Lebron will cruise to the WCF next year if he doesn't get injured, only team I can see getting in his way is Clippers if they get max free agents

It was a joke to play on people's inconsistency where LeBron is an asshole if he wants a trade and Kobe is a killer instinct mamba for the same

Then everyone is a ring chaser and it has no meaning go to sleep

It's like you didn't learn a thing from LeBron's last few years.

I’ll take that action

I’ll take those 8 teams you got rest of the league

Loser never posts here ever again

well we learned that he doesn´t defend at all anymore.
kuzma is even worse.

who is going to defend on the team when they add kyrie or kemba?
they will need to score 140 every night because of that, and completely running Lebron and AD in the ground.

Foreign flags need to stop posting already. All you do is regurgitate memes, you don't watch it and if you do you don't understand it. LeBron is literally a plus defender and by all metrics still above average, in some metrics 99th percentile. He only takes plays off when he knows the person shooting a 3 shoots a bad percentage but he's still the floor general delegating on defense at all times. With someone like AD assuming he's healthy he can actually get decent rest instead of overexerting energy on a career of minutes of pretty much anyone at 34 and let AD meet them at the rim if they blow by him. On top of that he turns it up in the playoffs in all facets.

Kuzma isn't great but he's not as bad as people say either. And anyway I think they should round out the team with shooting and defending role players than a third star.

I can't really explain why but I still think they need one more shot creating/scoring PG like Kyrie or Kemba.

Teams might just pack the paint against LeBron/AD, especially in the playoffs, and then it could come down to who can make an open three for the biggest shot of the season. I'd rather it be someone like Kyrie/Kemba in that kind of situation. I'm fond of these NYC Rucker type players as they can create their shot against any defense and it'll help that they'll be ready for the LA spotlight as well

so oyu agree that they basically need 3nD roleplayers instead of rajon memedo ?

Lebron literally sat in the key at the cavs end of the court versus pacers last year. I can't remember the last time i saw him put the clamps on someone.

nigga say this in the streets and see what happens you fucking pussy typing bullshit behind a keyboard

the problem with this is bns don't understand the concept of a duel, if you fight some guy and blow him tf out, all of his homeboys and cousins will mob you like dogs
