You just said if they included Canadian rantings game 6 wins easily, no reason for it though. Like a Canadian team was playing this year and not the other. [Reply]

The “I think it’s safe to say” part was acknowledging that it was so obvious that we don’t even need the data.
And it’s relevant because that is a factor contributing to ratings that isn’t Lebron, which is what we were talking about. [Reply]
The Pelicans have agreed to a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks – including the No. 4 overall in 2019 Draft, league sources tell ESPN.
If the Lakers continue to suck (LeBron’s age, Anthony Davis getting hurt, etc), this could be a great trade for the Pelicans. Those picks could help them build a hell of a core. [Reply]
Side note: What an awful deal for the Pelicans. Only piece there of any real value is the #4 pick. Ball, Ingram and Hart are total scrubs and the other picks are worthless after the Lakers get back to the Finals (which they will do provided they add some shooting around LeBron rather than whatever absolute nonsense they did last offseason). They also could have had this offer with Kuzma too in the spring. :-) [Reply]

Quantity does not equal quality.
You do not trade Anthony Davis inside the conference to help Lebron and the Lakers build a super team without getting at least one sure fire All-Star. [Reply]

except they had limited fucking trade partners. Who was really going to trade for someone thats going to leave the team a year later! This is the only real offer that the Pelicans had, the others were not going to happen! [Reply]

yea the Wizards need a new GM first to make that move. And they shouldnt accept pennies on the dollar like all these other teams that trade all star talented guys for scraps. [Reply]

I find it hard to believe that’s the best they could get after every team just saw the Kawhi trade paying off for Toronto. [Reply]

This suggests to me that the Celtics weren’t willing to part with Tatum nor the Raptors willing to part with Siakam for one year of AD. Although maybe I’m giving Griffin too much credit and he thinks some of these Lakers scrubs are actiallly good. [Reply]
