>will be the same crowd applauding him for being the best two way player in the league next szn
Lol we’ve been hearing that since 2020

Love the confidence but its either hes out for half the season or hes a no show in big games. Window is closed and its all on him a 30 year old who has no MVP no DPOY no HEART fake top 75 period

The only player that can stop AD, is AD. Issue is that he stops himself almost half the time.

Lol bro this is literally the same post every year since 2020

They need pieces. They could get a lot in return.

I hope you’re right man but we’ve been waiting three now lol

Time for a shakeup. Why not? AD trade could bring in a star, contending cast and also young players to build around for the future.

We dont get past the Warriors or Grizzlies without him. He blew up their entire offenses. Jokic is an amazing player with a great supporting cast. ADs offense comes and goes, but he’s the best defensive player in the NBA, and thats something you can still build around.
SellingPapierMache
To be fair he IS a really good 50-55 games per year player
Elitealice
He’s a blazer lil bro
Shoeguy24
He deserves to stay no matter what. But let’s be clear – once Bron retires, he can’t hold this franchise together by himself.

Bruh this ain’t new. Pau Gasol was gonna get traded every Tuesday when he was here too. This is typical Lakers fandom.
AD is our future. We do need to pair him with another elite player/scorer/playmaker sans LeBron
SimpleJacked2TheTits
You will never get the value back from trading AD. Not even close.
Lakerman0824
We hear this every year yet always let’s us down. He’s an excellent 3rd option on offense. Need him to just focus on Def and get a real #2 offensive option
JayCrenshaw
This clown really got outplayed by Gordon.

AD is good when he’s good but more importantly he’s gone way too much and when he’s here I have to worry about whether or not he’s gonna fold in crucial games in the playoffs. It kills me when everyone around him is fighting and he’s just kinda hanging out looking lost.
SnapsOnPetro45
Trade him for who tho? He’s arguably the 3rd best big man in the league. We can’t get that type of defense and paint scoring anywhere else.
CabbageStockExchange
What he needs to work on is not getting so deflated when his shot isn’t falling. If he sees two or three misses in a row he just flat out stops being aggressive on that end. AD can cook anyone he just needs to believe
cloudparis0421
AD is too important to trade. He’s literally Laker’s anchor in defense. Just need to get a few better pieces to surround him and Lebron.
EazeeP
I can see this happening if we sign a Center that pairs well with AD at the 4
Dagenius1
Yeah I don’t at all get the “Trade AD” talk after this run. I think he is who he is and that’s good enough to be a key on a title team.
I think he needs to be part of one more ring to solidify his legacy.
justaskinthequestion
If the market thinks that, trade him. If he doesn’t have any value, I guess keep him….
But he absolutely shat the bed in game 4. Looking at how LeBron played and how AD played should tell you everything you need to know. AD laughing after getting up from the floor. Losing focus and missing bunnies. Getting his rest in.
His talent is undeniable but his mindset is not elite.
justaskinthequestion
The ‘trade AD crowd’ will be applauding him in 2038 when he wins league MVP. Etc., etc., etc. Story is getting old.
radracer82
He is the best two way player, we saw that in the playoffs.
Availability is another thing, though.
Olliefnt
I’m not for or against trading AD I would love to keep him but if someone like Luka or Dame was available for a trade and he wanted out I would be all for it
DeathByChargers
You can think he’s the best two way player and still want to trade him though
gm4dm101
Trade him? Who the hell do you think you are getting to make up for him?
Halfie951
sell high
imnewb2
LOL STOP IT. Old AD aint coming back look at his overall performance after thr championship year. If you stop being delusional and actually be honest with yourself, he’s a soft overpaid bum
DuffleBagdude
When was the last time this guy was the best 2 way player for a whole season? Maybe best 2 way player for 20 games a szn but never a whole season. Some of smoke good dope.
henchilada
People just need to understand that AD’s role on the team is shut down defense and rebounding. He does not need to put up more than 20 points to have a great game. We should have better perimeter shooting and a brute force caveman dunker asshole who can crash the offensive boards so the rest of the team can get back on transition D.

you used quotes around “trade AD” but wouldn’t type out season. You madlad!
