I absolutely love this...

Nearly 3 hours away from the NBA's trade deadline and ... the Lakers-Pelicans talks on Anthony Davis are dormant, league sources tell ESPN. No communication, nor an expectation that they'll even speak today. Pelicans seem content to run out the clock.

They must be looking elsewhere. Or punishing LAL for obvious tampering.

Not necessarily the wrong move but definitely risky - if no deal is made and they keep AD then they have to deal with the potential PR nightmare of owning but not playing a Top 5 player in the league for the rest of the season.

Conley say he will play anywhere... not sure where the eastern rumor came from... that makes me happy at least.

I wouldn't be surprised if his agent leaked that. Let's be honest, he's never going to be an All-Star if he comes to the Jazz. In terms of personal accomplishments, he'd be better off going East.

Memphis is a **** show... their front office is a mess... there is a lot out there about how dysfunctional that group is right now. Dealing with them is not a ideal.

Y'all beat me like 10 times over on that tweet. lol

At least when something happens we will know right away.

They don’t need his Bird Rights (right now).

Do they need his try before you buy?

Wouldn't surprise me if NOLA is talking with the Clips. After their moves, they seem to have a better offer with Miami's pick....
I so hope they are....

Shams hasn't tweeted in 13 hours, Tony hasn't said anything meaningful since yesterday, WTF IS GOING ON?! I need INFO from the sources.

I'm calling my shot: Rubio, Favors, 2019 1st and 2021 2nd for Conley.

they never wanted to trade AD... I love the narrative Lakers are pushing that "they" did this to ruin "our" chemistry and that they didn't negotiate in good faith... so egocentric.

NO never negotiated in good faith because they never engaged with LA. The rumors and **** all came from LA... they did this to themselves... not saying NO didn't enjoy it, but I love the narrative that it was a devious plan.

They will hold him out and be justified in doing so... League can say whatever they want... dude demanded a trade and did so openly.

They will potential be able to steal the 1 or 2 pick or SGA and a pile of picks or Tatum and a pile of picks... they just want the best package. If you are giving up $100 for a nice dinner you want steak or lobster... not 100 ham sandwiches... Lakers assets are ham sandwiches...

I'm telling you that front office ownership group has issues in Memphis. Gasol has been at the 1 yard line for like 2 days.

Oh I know. I'm going to be shocked if they trade either one of those guys.
