Rumors say the Lakers are considering making Anthony Davis available in a trade. This comes after Russell Westbrook has been blamed for everything happening in Lakerland the past 2 seasons. This is a look at whatâs wrong with LeBronâs team beyond just Westbrook and the one thing that would actually make them trade AD.

Unpopular opinion: the reason the Lakers are doing bad isnât the fault of one player, but rather the whole team.
agreed I really donât know why people are blaming russ lebron or AD the roster just isnât talented enough to be a competitive team every night in the regular season.
@@theblacksoldier2725 The roster has talent, but all the talent is concentrated on driving to the basket. They had a chance to do something in the summer, but they sign Lonnie Walker instead. That's another talented player that can't shoot threes.
No shit, Sherlock...
agreed
its bcs LeGM traded everyone after they won chips
Iâve been saying this for a while, the fact that the media has been obsessed with tearing down Russ on a daily basis meant no one was talking about ADâs lackadaisical play and shockingly bad 3pt %, worse than Russ on many many nights. He was getting off easy with the perfect scapegoat team mate taking all the abuse.
Ad still play defense so even on his worst nights hes better.
@@lostone9700 big L
@@lostone9700 stop it even hes on the court hes useless as Russ playing every game and being horrible stop having a double standards give Russ his fucking props yall just dont wanna accept that hes finally playing decent even tho its only 9 games so we will see but for now just give his props man hes the best Laker player right now even tho this current Laker team assembled by LeBron is STILL garbage
they been talking about ad
@@michaelmayers3622 from the start of the season? Or last season? Who has?
All I hear is that Casey also owes Russ an apology
I've been watching this guy's videos for a year now and NOT ONE of his fantasy horrible trades ever happened đ
Obviously not, this is fun speculation, chill to out
@@mpbeastohugbear83 most people that make the prize picks ads atleast win ? Lol
@@mpbeastohugbear83 i know it's speculation but come on now , he's supposed to know about NBA and he's always wrong
That knicks trade to sign KD had me dying man
@@matthieusaade3616 youtube is just for entertainment my guy. If you want an expert on a topic you probably will have to pay. Definitely would have to look somewhere else though
As a warrior fan, ainât no way we giving up all of that for him⊠Heâs too soft an injury prone.
ya I 100 percent thought that as soon as I saw the warriors
we?lol
@@amarionbradley1189 fan base bro, whatđ
Lakers can have Wiseman, kuminga and/or Moody for AD.
NO WAY FOR GEEEN
@@fried_riceee if ad gets injured were gonna have to play Anthony lamb no way
âhe just relies on being born 7 ft tallâ. bro, AD was a point guard for most of his life until a growth spurt in high school. the hate is crazy
"Most of his life until high school" it doesn't work like that vro he's been heavily relent on his height not skill...
He's played more basketball as a 7ft player than not
EVERYBODY was a pg from little league to high school. you seen a 7 ft tall 8 year old lately?
Yeah I'm highschool not the fucking NBA you think those are even close to the same thing.
"It took him some time to grow to 7 foot, bro" is what your comment is
Hey man as much as I love your videos and analysis, your trade ideas are crazy. Feels like you're living on a fantasy world!
Exactly!đ
Yes. He become popular for his continually videos trading people for no reason.
â a stupid step back thing â
Lmao that was a post fadeaway đđ
Honestly I really, really hate the idea that Russel Westbrook can go crazy, have a great game or even a solid game for any player off the bench, and people will ignore the horrific shooting from the lakers as a whole and only talk about Russel Westbrook not being good at shooting, and Russel Westbrook getting turnovers, ignoring all the possessions where he does crazy hustles to save possessions
No one been blaming russ since he started playing good 4 games ago
Russ finally found a coach who can get through to him and keep a lid on him.
Probllem is others
Yeah, it's AD. Did you even watch the video?
Or maybe the man is buying in.. but backhanded comments are backhanded comments
Lol giving Ham credit for WB playing on the bench if one hell of a stretch. They still suck.
James has given up on the rest of his team and itâs showing that now no faith has him struggling to. AD has his ring so now he doesnât have anything left to motivate himself he has always been a guy that can turn it on and off whenever he feels like it but it seems like off the court issues has AD focused on something else because he just doesnât look like he wants to be there. Seriously look at him during games and he has that thousand yard stare when he is on the bench and something is off with him and he must get his head right.
You could tell as soon as AD won his ring he dropped off.
Why doesnât anyone realize AD doesnât have any backup. He shouldnât even be playing center, when he goes on the bench they run 6â7 dudes and Gabriel while the other teams have actual players in their position
@@devin8493 because they just hired another scapegoat, not an actual coach..
It's like watching Rob Dyrdek do NBA media. Love it
Hilarious!
This season so far has been Ridiculousness
He has a really punchable face. And I don't ever say that.
So accurate lol
As a Knicks fan, that trade is too much considering how injury prone AD is and your saying to give up 6 first round picks for someone who is going to play probably less then 50 games. Iâve seen our young talent and I donât like to give that up as well for someone who is staring to be considered or probably is not a superstar anymore. Thatâs just my opinion, but I feel like most Knicks fans agree with me.
My family and I were at the Laker,Nets game and I have to say Russell had a stellar game. I really donât see why he gets a bad rap.The media loves to create drama because it always gets viewers.
Lol AD on the thumbnail
yeah that Rudy gobert thing still blows my mind I think he's an excellent baller ,but 5 picks ? that insane
I think I'm more worried about T-wolves losing Pat Bev, cause their defense looks lazy rn. I think Rudy is worth 3 or 4 picks and the Jazz probably asked for 2 extra.
No shot would the Jazz trade Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson for Westbrook. Even with picks. That's crazy talk. The value of those players is seriously on the rise. (and you are undervaluing them)
Probably with the two picks it would work. Thatâs two first round picks (high value) and then 40 mil off the books after the season. Clarkson is going crazy no doubt but that production wonât be the same if he goes to a contender. He is the number 1 option on the team of course itâs going to increase his stats
The jazz are in rebuild mode, unless Jordan and Mike are players they want to build around(which they aren't) they would definitely deal them for enough picks
@@karljones7976 jazz are in rebuild mode, while sitting at the top of the western conference at 9-3 đ
@@BigPlasticPlant lmao yea I bet management ain't too happy bout that. If they continue they def gonna do a trade or tell the coach to tank for webinyama
they would considering they are in rebuild mode AND this "rise" was not intentional and they might blow it up (again)
Thanks for doing this video!
Its funny how we just look at the gobert trade and go "yup this dudes worth 6 first rounders". Nobodys trading 6 of anything to get ad for 30 games a season.
Jazz got all those picks and first seed đ
Danny Ainge probably confused af
Gobert is overrated af
how long have you been doing this? Really enjoy your videos.
Davis isnât fetching that much. The Lakers are toast
Yep a guy thats injury prone.
it,s gonna be intesting were AD could land if Lakers decided to trade him to a new team. they might has well do it because they are not doing good currently at this moment and he is not playing well. but it is more than just AD and Russell West Brook and Lebron it is about the Lakers future on how they can get better has a team and how they can stay a long term winning team.
Watching this 2 weeks later and now AD is doing great
I love how if they traded for Myles and Buddy most of their problems would be resolved, but they still wonât do it đ
It would not solve their problems at all đ just say you don't know about basketball without saying you don't know about basketball đ wow
@@WuShocks Wow guys, we got ourselves an analyst over here⊠đ«đ«đ
No dude, the Indiana trade would NOT solve all of their problems
Actually, it wouldn't. Buddy has never been good. He can shoot but he has horrible basketball IQ, horrible defense, and he has never led a team to wins. He also has no offense except spot up shooting. Turner is a horrible defender, injury prone and has no offense outside of spotting up shooting.
@@yungvegar you yourself are analyzing by making a statement that trading for Myles and buddy would solve their problems which again isn't true since we haven't seen it. Don't be upset if someone disagree with your stupid takes
AD will be out with a sprained bellybutton before all-star break đ€Šđœââïž
đ
Bro that's a violation right there đ
4:13 you just described Ben Simmons when saying what AD reminds you of
You should do a video on the jazz and how the heck they are doing good
yes beeg brainidea very good
He's a Lakers fan so he will only talk about the Lakers. I think he's also DannyHoops.đłđłđł
They got rid of Rudy Gobert.
the jazz are always a good regular season team, lets revisit when the playoffs start.
@@sensei9322 they have new young talented players without ego problems. I think they will be a team to watch for this season.
You are REALLY good at setting up your suggested next video to view!
Thanks!! đđŒ
If AD gets traded itâs his own fault. Every time that man falls I wonder if heâs gonna get back up. Not to mention the lack of aggression. Also, GS donât need another problem they are struggling as it is right now without AD.
AD lost the hunger after that championship
James not only looks old, he looks like a coward for speaking against Irving and toeing the espn company line.
AD is doing the Ben Simmons not shooting thing?
Excellent video!
Can you please explain what team Carmelo will end up in for the 22-23 season or if he is retiring please?
update he's going overseas to play
@@chill6789 bruh..
Russ is my favorite because of his heart and fire.
LeBron is the type of guy who when he loses he says âI wasnât even trying to winâ
Or that he was sick lol
Dubs fan here, and NO! I donât want a glass man
I'm so sick of AD getting off scot free. He refuses to play center full time to help the team, a true superstar would do that. He needs to be held accountable.
Im sick of Lebron getting off scot free.
AD not wanting to play center full time is not an issue and an easy work-around.
Heâs been playing center all season. He jus rather plays the 4 because their defense is a lot better when heâs at the 4
Thatâs so wrong. He doesnât want to play the 5 yes. But he is a power forward And should be playing that position untill crunch time. Lebron is a Point guard the team plays better with AD at the 4 not the 5.
Golbert is a defensive anchor. Ad is just a anchor.
The lakers trading away ad to the knicks building their team in the summer isnt gonna work, as you said lebron is slowing showing age
3:10 calling a turnaround fadeaway jumper a stupid step back thing đđ
I love your videos, but could you make one that's NOT about the Warriors, Lakers, or Nets? You know - a video about a team that's actually WINNING?
Dude, that Knicks trade is beyond insane. AD hasn't looked dominant since the bubble championship. I would be surprised if the Lakers can trade him for any first round picks. Dude is made of glass and never took the step up to replace LeBron as 1a on the Lakers.
Ad isn't a #1 like Kawhi isn't has nothing to do with skill or potential they are just far to injury prone you can't build a successful team that way
AD is not gonna get traded
He is staying 100% and I ABSOLUTELY HATE the Lakers
That rookie didnât block him! đ he stripped the ball .
If we want to get out from the west, bron Need to load manage, and the rest of the team should figure out on how to make into the playoff... But yeah..
Make a video about the blazers
Remember when AD said he forgot the last time he trained his shooting?đ€Ł
Lol imagine if ad was on the warriors that would be crazy af
One team below 500 to another
The problem is the warriorâs system doesnât really work with a big guy whose a dominant scorer (at peak of course) whoâll clog up the paint with his post game. Their system just needs a big guy who is athletic, runs the floor, rebound at a high clip, and defend. They simply donât need a scoring big man and it simply wonât fit as well.
Imagine the Warriors actually winning a title without injuring an all star player on their toughest opponents team of the playoffs that season. Like Kawhi, Kyrie, CP3, & last season Ja Morant. All 4 of those teams would've beating them. 3 of those teams was whoopin they ass with the exception of Kyrie's game 1 of the finals injury. The other 3 for sure would've eliminated they ass.
Oh yeah, imagine Steph actually leading the Warriors to the playoffs without having 2 or 3 more all star players on the team. Like other guards like Harden Trae Young, Westbrook Ja Morant, & others have done. HARD ain't it? Because he's never done it. Had 2 opportunities but faked a season long injury that started with a fingure then somehow spread through his arm or whatever đđ©.
That's not horrible decision making. That'd high IQ decision making. A lebron mid range fade away is a much better choice than a 3 pointer from Pat Beverly.
6:40 maybe the problem is they and apparently so do some other people, think they can build a successful team around old lebron?
Also, the Warriors are just having a slow start. They'll be the most dangerous team come PO time.
Oh no
So sick of AD, his whole career is a constant "IF" and "When". People please accept the fact already the guy is not a franchise player, never will simply because HE'S NOT THAT GOOD
Nets:- Ad. Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson
Lakers:- Kyrie, hield, Turner and Markkanin
Jazz:- Ben Simmons, K.Nunn, Lakers 2027 first
Pacers:- Westbrook, nets 2023 first and Lakers 2029 first
I feel like the team as a whole just doesnât work great, thereâs enough good players to win games, they just donât work together
Lebron is showing his age but hes playing with a bad foot which he re-injured. Ad is even worse with his body failing him and its affecting his shooting. The lakers dont have enough shooting.i was one of the people that shit on westbrook. Im glad i was wrong because he looks like hes back
God these trades are awful Itâs like yâall think AD some above average roll player. only concerns are health heâs a beast
Hey AM I think they Playing with you they're not showing your videos at the end??
Iâm a Celtics fan and I love the lakers downfall but at the same time itâs sad to see How bad such a storied and great franchsie is ran
You know things are bad for the Lakers when a fan of a team who has an owner whose wife is/was banging the coach and they to deal with that, is criticizing their management.
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 wait was it the owner? I knew ime did something bad but not that bad I feel bad for Lebron tho
@@Unknokownuser Im not sure which owner but from what i heard it was one of the owners within the owner group wives.
And everything really comes together when you consider it.
omg, wiseman for AD, lets make it happen!
Lakers need Center Rim protector like Myles Turner & legit shooter like Buddy Heild đ„đ„đ„
What about AD for Rockets Eric gordon and Kj Martin
good vid
I been said it.
every player the lakers vs every night score on AD like itâs a lay up line
I'll take Reddish, Rose & the 6 picks pleaseâïžđđ
lol
The fact people are blaming the lebron because he wanted Russ as a teammate the one who needs blame is the gm hes the one that gets final say on the deals
Giannis didnât leave his team and has shown heâs a leader. Donât compare AD to Giannis ever đ
Itâs never been about Westbrook. Itâs about his contract. The Lakers are literally signing people from door dash because Westbrookâs contract is taking up all the cap space. This trade should have never been done simply off the fact that you canât build a sustainable TEAM around this. Westbrook averaging a 30 point triple double wouldnât change anything.
Not giving a big free pass on the shoulder move from Lebron, but Dyson is probably the best defending rookie of all of them, just hasn;t had the play time yet in a deep roster to be considered among the best rookies that he probably sits amongst (either bottom of first team or top of second team for rookies).
Anthony Davis is feeling like the NBA David Price
lifelong Laker fan and I didn't want Lebron, AD or Westbrook to come to LA
Westbrook the only one playing with passion.
I'm not surprised if AD is on the trading block. The Lakers are in for a loooooooong rebuild thanks to the blunders on trades, free agency AND drafts, or absence of thereof.
I've been saying this... The biggest problem is he slows down the offense. Because you have to feed him the ball.. Because he CAN'T SHOOT. OR RUN, OR STAY HEALTHY.!!! TRADE HIM.
i would take AD but the lakers have to still give me the extra first round picks. I am not trading so much for an almost guaranteed to be injured player
its "blame everyone else" team, everytime its always the role player, the coach, russ, the role player again.
Who would we trade for AD?
For Kawhi. Seems like an even deal. Both are part time players
Bro yâall are disrespectful ! Maybe itâs not Anthony Davis maybe itâs the team ! The only thing I can fault AD for is heâs health ! But all this talk about killer , fight and heart ! Heâs sample size is in that favor , he was the best player in college , heâs first 8 -9 years in the league was pure domination ! He swept the top conference blazzers in the playoffs , complete domination , 40 point heart crushing performances , dominated first year with LA ! So please stop with the disrespect ! Everybody is not meant to play great basketball in their peak for the same periods of time ! And Ad been begging to play the 4 ! And the lakers forced him to play 5 last 2-3 seasons ! First year with LA he play 4 , dominated , heâs career in Nola played 4. Dominated ! Last 3 years in La playing the 5 ,with new team , selfish Lebron and no real point guard with rondo type iq , he struggles !
As a warriors fan there's no way I want ad , he's probably not going to be healthy through the year
AD is what happens to skilled bigs that play w/ LeBron. same thing happened to Kevin Love and Chris Bosh. LeBron doesnt want them playing inside on offense. so they become far less effective, exclusively perimeter players. its also why they become more injury prone. they are playing a style that doesnt suit their game or body type.
What your toughtt on NBPA & Jaylen Brown come on defence for Kyrie?
What about AD for ben simmons and kyrie
Ben Simmons might be the worst player that could go to this LA team right now. They need shooters
AD instead of Russ to Indiana get a shooter and a big man, maybe do some swapping with Knicks as well. I'm not sure how to put together a trade like you but Indiana wants picks Lakers need front court defense and a shooter, so AD to Knicks and split the picks and players between Indiana and Lakers, if possible.
AD not even in condition to play for the Warriors đ man a pass away mid-game all that running
Lol I hope the warriors get AD. It would make the warriors superteam meme real again
I thought Matt Ryan was the colts qb
I heard Stephen A said AD for Draymond and Klay, which is like even worse
Lakers owe Lebron a apology for not trading Westbrook with both first round picks that was an agreement to his extension signing.
Lakers owe Westbrook a apology for not trading him and getting him away from an awful organization they are.
Lebron been bad this year
Lebronâs the reason Westbrook is there in the first place. They donât owe Lebron shit and Russ has been adjusting his game and seems to be accepting that role off the bench. Heâs not the problem anymore
The main fault here is the front office and the owner. It's how they managed to reap the championship roster into this kind of roster.
AD sure gone cold every second half but unlike their previous seasons, he had some reliable backup or help in the paint. Like Gasol(past prime already), Dwight, McGee. This season, Jones and Wenyen can't even consistently help him in offense or defense. Bryant still injured. No one outside AD defends the paint. Can't do it all especially for AD who's injury prone.
I've been saying this for two years. The fact that Ross's value tanked is the rob pelinka period. He does not k ow how to put a team together and rather benefitted from lebrons greatness in the bubble
I would like AD imma Hornet fan
Nobody iso trading more than 2 picks and players for AD what are you smoking? the guy is never available.....his stock is at the lowest !
Lakers need to trade everyone and rebuild.....
All the LeButt fans owe Westbrook an apology as well đ„Ž
Agreed, but the cheesy name calling though
@@mosessupposes2571 My bad.... LeButt Kissing fans đ„Ž
Is AM Hoops still sticking with his prediction that the Lakers are making the playoffs and Memphis is not?
AD has got to go!
You forgot to do the Blazers đ€Ł
What do you guys think about a 3 team trade with lakers pacers and Atlanta? Lakers get turner, hield, and get 2 1sts from atlanta, pacers get a Atlanta 1st and 2 2nds and John Collins, and Atlanta gets AD. This gives lakers shooting and defense to surround lebron. Pacers get rid of turner and hield while also getting a return of picks and a nice fit in John collins at the 4. Atlanta gets a superstar in AD to run the 4 next to capela and they get paired with Trae and dejounte.
ad's worth is plumetting but hes not that low yet
Not passing to Pat Bev is actually the BEST offensive play by far. Not a low IQ play at all.
Every team is trying to use Rudy Gobert trade as the gold standard for what to get in return for veteran star player. Just because one team overpaid in trade, now every team thinks to get the same return. I thought teams weren't allowed to trade draft picks in so many consecutive years?
Lists teams with young talent and LOTS of first round picksâŠ. And FORGETS the thunder?!?!?!? Nahhhhh
Heâs not going to GSW but the warriors would be happy to take him
Why AD is made of glass and os unmotivated
