Lol some fans are so clueless.. They think that video of AD is in the current Lakers facility. If you think that's the current facility then omg. Pretty sure that's the famous billionaire's custom court that someone told me about in FA thread.

Anyways AD is a Laker 😍😍

After year 1 together, will we have a me or him problem? LOL! Nobody is talking about worst case scenario that will send us back to the stone ages. They don't click, other teams with cap space starts luring AD, Lebron is never at fault for anything. AD gets a taste of it and bolts like Kyrie. Holy moly!

Relax. AD is not like Kyrie. Kyrie didn’t choose to be traded to Boston. AD wanted to be a Laker which is why he switched agents to Rich Paul.

I'd worry more about AD bouncing when LeBron's contract is up since chances are he will sign a contract with an opt out for his tenth season to get the ten year max, but of course we should be very wary of AD's impending FA. That's why this off season is so key. The last thing we want is for Lebron to suffer another injury and then AD looks around and realizes he's playing on a team that's worse than the one he had in NO, with limited tools to improve in the future. We need to build a contender around an incredible core with 24-32 million, a room exception, and limited picks to include for any trades. If we build a contender and AD is here for the next ten to fifteen years, this is an amazing trade. If we instead sign another meme team and struggle and AD leaves with Lebron right before NO starts getting our picks, then this could rank up there in terms of the worst trade in memory.

You're right. Even getting AD for 3 years is not worth what we gave up. If no max, we should be giving out multi-year deals to solid role players and have a plan for how we will use Lebron's money coming off the books. I'm hoping Kuzma develops into a borderline all star at least and we can find another young up and coming player to rebuild our core.

Just out of curiosity how do you guys feel like AD's game will age

If AD develops a great low post game and improves his 3-point shot I think he could still be playing at an elite or near-elite level well into his 30s.

I hope he hits up Kareem and Hakeem to improve his footwork and low post skills once he becomes a Laker.

He's going to be the best player in the league.

Assists % went up to almost 20 the last year.

30 PER

Improving 3 pt shot.

Only 26.

He has no LA connections but forced his way to the Lakers.

Interesting when you compare that to all the stars with SoCal connections and no desire to be here. I have to give him props for that.

28ppg sounds more like it. Lebron is still on this team. I wonder if he can bring his 3pt % up to around 37% since he’s working with lethal shooter

LeBron - '20 finals MVP

Why are RUMORS that Kawhi doesn't want to play with LeBron being glossed over?

As far as basketball fit, AD is probably the best fit next to LeBron he could possibly get. Their games mesh perfectly.

As far as personal chemistry, they already seem to be close friends, so I’m not too worried about them getting along. I may be wrong, but I don’t believe Kyrie and LeBron were already friends when he went to Cleveland. And AD has had a taste of being the main guy his entire career so far and knows how difficult it was to go deep into the playoffs. So I don’t think he’s worried about deferring to LeBron some to compete for championships.

My biggest concern at this point is them staying heallthy. That’s one thing that’s not under our control. But it’s worth the risk for this duo.

I hope so. However some reputable sources have aired that as a truism.

"The Lakers are not Kawhi's preferred destination anymore," Wright said. "He wants to go to the Clippers. Because he doesn't want to go and be second fiddle to LeBron. That's what I was told. I was told by somebody that would know.

Doesn't emplay post for the bleacherreport?
