That’s a solid cover right there.

Pat Hughes has that problem too.

Davis wants out:


Funny part is that Ainge can't even get involved with all of his assets because of Irving being on a Rose rule deal.

He's a bit too young to pique the Bulls' interest. They'll target him when he's 34.

Aside from Markk give them whatever they want and as long as he agreed to extension then make it happen

Wait.

You guys really think Anthony Davis would re-sign with the Bulls?

No. It is a dream. But if he would do whatever it takes

Would prolly have to give up your 1st rounder this year in any scenario involving the Bulls.

Idk... I still wouldn’t do it.

We wouldn't want him anyway, goshdarnit! We like our core and the vision GarPax has for the future!

Perception is reality and in this case, reality is reality. Take note, ownership.

Probably only wants to play with Lebron. Lebron Pandering for Players tour may be reaping benefits after all. I think Davis hired Paul within the last year. As soon as that happened you knew this sort of thing wouldn't be too far behind.

so aside from the only legitimate asset the Bulls have, you'll be willing to part with anyone else to get one of the top players in the league?


Good luck with that


Even with Lauri in a deal, the Bulls don't have enough to get AD unless they also include their unprotected 1st this year and that's just the starting point. And of course it needs to be said that this is a pointless exercise since there's no way AD would come here and re-sign when he just said he is leavein NO cause he wants to play for a contender.

Fun to CTRL+F Garpax on Bernstein's column about Davis. There's definitely a problem with the Bulls but it's just really hard to determine what it could possibly be. At least we know it matters.

I don't know how many people ever saw his High School team play but they were one of the worst collection of Varsity players ever assembled. Davis and a bunch of Freshmen level players.

Got it on really good authority that he walked into Simeon prior to the start of Junior year looking to transfer and Robert Smith told him no. He was sort of unknown at the time and Simeon was loaded. Told him that there was no room for him. Didn't need him.

Davis may not be the worth the full boat anyway. Teams have only made the playoffs twice in 7-8 years. Is he worth trading an entire franchise for?

_________________

I'm absolutely shocked that Anthony Davis doesn't believe that he can win with a team that has Etwaun Moore in its starting lineup. Why he would want to break that tandem up I will never know.

_________________

Well, making the playoffs ain't gonna happen.

Seems to get injured a lot too.

Anyone else watching this Nugs Grizz game? What a comeback. Beasley and Barton doing work. Jokic not involved.

Clippers losing at home against the Hawks.

Lakers will make the playoffs and when AD gets there it will be a cakewalk.

Clippers announcers are shocked that they re losing. Someone should clue them in that the Hawks record over the last month or so is the same as the Clippers

Clippers miss Galinari. Hawks definitely playing better. Patrick isn't the defender he used to be. Knee injury sapped his lateral quickness. Trae Young was blowing by him at will.

_________________

So the Hawks have decided 'we good, let's roll' with their current roster? Shouldn't they be tanking for a top 3. Fuckers keep killing my parlays.

I got this one. Have you seen the Lakers schedule going forward? They are cooked. Even if the Clippers fade I have Minnesota to take care of that business.

_________________

And now it's 9-8 for the Hawks and 8-9 for the Clips. And right to the very end the play by play guy is calling the outcome inexcusable.

Clippers are far from solid in that 8th spot (17-19 since their freakish hot start).

Walton seems to be pressuring LeBron to return in a couple games. Agent still saying indefinitely out. Maybe you're right about LeBron laying down this year. If true, another nail in the coffin of the self proclaimed GOAT.

2/5 Pacers W
2/12 Hawks W
2/23 Pelicans W
2/25 Grizzlies W
2/27 Pelicans W
3/2 Suns W
3/4 Clippers W
3/12 Bulls W
3/17 Knicks W
3/22 Nets W
3/24 Kings W
3/26 Wizards W
3/29 Hornets W
3/31 Pelicans W

40 wins.

That is the high end and The Pels with Davis are better and the Clips with Dalinari are better.

They won't make the playoffs in the West with 40 wins. I also think Lebron would rather miss than be an 8th seed and get swept by the Warriors.

He is in GM mode right now. He doesn't want to play with young guys that aren't star players. He is already looking forward to next year.
