[Starkand] Rui was surprised to see AD on the Wizards bench tonight because he forgot he was traded there
This was lowkey me with Khris Middleton. I just turned on a random Dallas game and he was playing lol
Dallas has the craziest collection of players in the league. I turned on a game recently to watch Flagg and ended up just watching some Khris Middleton, Marvin Bagley, Klay Thompson, Caleb Martin weird ass lineup absolutely run shit for a few mins
It can never be understated how much Nico Harrison is a piece of shit
Poor Klay, he drew the shortest straw from that trade.
Requested a trade wanting to spend the last few years of his career chasing one last hurrah, denied Lakers to play with Luka in Dallas just to end up in a hell hole.
But you could say he traded all those with the devil for Meghan.
klay is how i found out about megan. and god damn, that boy won at life
Since I stopped playing 2K, I don’t keep up with roster construction, and I’ll get the same reaction to a lot of role players or random vet.
i kinda forgot too.
Btw Who is retiring AD jersey ?
Dallas. He was such an incredible part of the defense that won us a tonne of championships.
God bless Nico.
😭😭😭😭
We can hang a burnt AD jersey.
Nothing personal Anthony, but we don’t have a Nico jersey so have to use a proxy.
Lakers probably will, but it’s hard to say
he’s probably the second greatest pelican of all time but he also burned that bridge so I doubt they do
He might just not get the jersey retirement lol
Crazy of the lakers to do that over one championship
1 chip is a lot lol
If you look at the list of jerseys we have retired, can you really say he deserves it though when he was never 1a on the team?
Spoiled ass franchise
2nd? I might be blanking but who is supposed to be 1st? Definitely not Zion
CP3 I’m guessing. Technically they were called the Hornets then but it’s the same franchise.
He was never technically a Pelican, but I assume they mean Chris Paul
Definitely LA
I don’t think it’s guaranteed, with the Lakers and Celtics the bar is a little higher so I’m not sure being a part of one championship team is gonna do it
The bar is being a HOFer and bringing a championship and being here a while. He hits all those checkboxes.
4 and a half seasons. Some of that time being injured and missing games. Of course covid shortened season as well.
Don’t forget maybe his biggest accomplishment, bringing in Luka!
I feel like Lakers history is waaay to rich for that. Too many numbers to retire they can’t start setting the standard at AD
LA. Ring and get them Luka
Didn’t do enough with one team to deserve a jersey retirement IMO
People saying Lakers are delusional, you gotta be insane to get your jersey retired in LA. If he got it in LA it would be on LeBron clout alone. Pelicans seems like the most obvious, who are the players that the Pelicans have? It’s CP3, AD, Cousins, and then who next? Jrue Holiday? Baron Davis? The only person they have retired never played for the franchise.
i was thinking the same, i saw the List of retired jersey there.. and the floor is MVP.
Pau Gasol has a retired jersey - probably not as good as AD and never close to MVP, albeit 2 rings not 1
Gail Goodrich - 1 ring, never close to MVP
Jamaal Wilkes, Michael Cooper, James Worthy (FMVP) also never close to MVP
Lakers will
ring , will make Hall of Fame . Will get jersey retired maybe not like right away but shortly after HoF induction whenever that will be .
Lakers for sure.
Nobody
Yeah I don’t think he gets it tbh. Feels like the dynasty places you either need to be an elite number 1 or multiple championships to get consideration
Wilt’s number is retired and his Laker resume is similar to AD’s. Not the first option by the time he got there, 5 seasons, 1 championship. Does have more deep playoff runs and a Finals MVP though.
Yeah FMVP can do it. Plus Wilt was more than a player, he was an icon. They tend to get special treatment
The lakers when Wilt’s jersey was retired vs Lakers are totally different.
Also gotta remember that Wilt was considered the GOAT back then. You’ll hang that jersey in the rafters.
Hearing it from an ex-Wizards, nonetheless.
Wizards really need a high pick this year. I want to see them in the playoffs
It’s all down to health, which is a big if.
Healthy Young, AD, Sarr and Riley together on the floor sounds really fun to watch.
AD will get to play PF which he love. I do think, as long as they are healthy, they will be a playoff team next year.
Bro doesn’t even know that AD is injured, and I guess thinks is just a DNP 😭
Bring AD back to LA (Cheap OFC)
LOL im just finding out now
Yo! What you doing here?? AD: I work here now
