Anthony Davis at the Lakers? I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
First, I didn\u2019t know that AD grew up looking up to LBJ. He\u2019s such a different player and he looks 35 already. He\u2019s only 25. So I get how playing with your idol must be very exciting.<\/p>\n
The problem is that basketball is a team sport more than ever. Yes, we see James Harden or Giannis take over and secure wins for their teams but make no mistake: it\u2019s all about depth and having a squad. Big 2 or Big 3 ain\u2019t it anymore. The Clippers or Kings show that very well right now: no big name, no problem. AD who gave everything for 7 years at the Pelicans knows that very, very well too.<\/p>\n
Every position needs to be staked with talent that can switch and do everything from defending a 7 footer to shooting 3s. If the Lakers give everything for ONE player, they\u2019ll just end up with injured stars. Sure, stars sell jerseys and that\u2019s the juicy business here: merchandising is the cash cow, right?<\/p>\n
But if the team doesn\u2019t perform well, there\u2019s no game. If there\u2019s no game, what\u2019s the point of buying stuff?<\/p>\n
