This is somewhat Laker related. KAT and AD are similarly built, their games are very much alike. But one started slow and trending up, and the other one is doing the opposite. It is Laker related because the way KAT is playing now is what laker fans are expecting out of AD, outside of that couple months in the Bubble he has not delivered.

I think KAT has more bulk, and is used to playing inside; while AD is much more quick and versatile on defense, especially the perimeter. KAT's 3 point shooting is also much better and his scoring instincts. IMO, they would make a devastating tandem if it were to happen.
AD never work on his body during off seasons, even during those long off seasons with Pelicans. Thats why he’s still fragile, gets pushed around easily. That’s inexcusable. KG was also skinny and tall but that dude was a force inside while also quick and agile on the perimeter. Lakers mortgaged their future on the wrong star.

If the goal was to win a championship, they got the right guy.
Not sure KAT would have been it for the 2020 title as he could not play the same level of versatile defense that AD did that year.
But going forward, totally fair to say KAT will likely surpass him as an overall player. But I would be really happy if we could pair these two together as I think they fill each other's gaps quite nicely.

AD for Towns straight up, who says no? Wolves get someone to anchor their defense and Lakers get a #1 guy on offense. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

They are in the rebuilding phase right now, but one thing I'll always admire about that org is how they won 50+ games a season for nearly 2 decades straight (1999-2019). When Pop retires, it will truly be the end of an era. No other franchise has sustained that level of winning for that long. They are the model of longevity the same way Lebron is as a player. They would still be relevant if Kawhi didn't ditch them.

It's not Laker related at all.
Yeah, I def. would rather not see this in the Laker forum personally.. I couldn't care less if KAT scored 60 10 straight games.. Good for him but zero to do with the Lakers. Are we gonna do threads for Luca next because his game is a lot like Bron's?

Easily the Wolves. I wonder how close Towns is to DLO? I doubt that DeAngelo is selling the Lakers as a positive move. Same with Booker, when players are close it is bad business to piss one of them off. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

Unbelievable consistency, no doubt. Won titles in the 90’s, 2000’s and 2010’s. Doesn’t get more consistent then that. _________________ I miss you Kobe. I miss you Gigi.

Right now? Wolves say no.
I'm trying to pair the two of them down the road...
AD will be 31-32 by the time we can pair them.
KAT is a free agent after next season.
And anyway what the heck would be bad about a 30-31 year old Anthony Davis paired with a 28 year old KAT? _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:
