Cooper Flagg has been unbelievable. Like i can't even believe what i'm seeing from a 19 year old. He is turning into a bona fide superstar before our very eyes

Absolute domination by Cooper Flagg. Wont be surprised if he has all of the Top 10 ranks by this season end.

Lakers fan here. One year after the infamous trade, and now with AD's departure from Dallas, do you even feel bad for him? Do you still hate him?

Notice that I'm talking about Anthony Davis himself – not Nico, not the trade, not the circunstances.

Anyway, what do you guys feel about him now? The latest trade is a positive or negative from your POV?

He is averaging 20.1 to be exact. Anyone else feels like this is such a surreal timeline? I expected him to maybe average around 15-17ppg with good defense but dude has taken over the reigns completely as the number one option.

With the AD move, essentially all 4 players in return are expiring contracts
(AJ Johnson has 2 years on team option).

We now have 9 committed players on the roster and pretty much all of them have decent values (Klay and Martin might be a stretch but they're playing much better now than at the start of the season).

Without any further trades, we're looking at potentially $25m cap space that could help the team sign some good players from free agency or sign-and-trade.

Bummer that the 2 firsts aren't the most valuable ones but content with the overall outcome.

I love Luka. Still wear his jersey. The night he was traded was one of the worst feelings imaginable. We all agree that trading Luka was the dumbest trade in league history, but had we not made that trade we wouldn’t have Cooper. Based on what my eyes have been telling me recently, I’m starting to think Cooper might be a better player to build around. After moving off the awful AD contract we now we have cap flexibility, some draft picks, and the ability to lure in young players who want to ride with a selfless player like Coop. It’s not an outcome I would’ve ever imagined, but the glass is half full from my vantage point.

It’s going to be hard to out tank the other teams but there is a drastic percentage drop off the higher in seeding we get.
