Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2019 5:32 pm Post subject: QFTOS Pelicans, Celtics, and Spurs - Anthony Davis Edition |
|
|
Pelicans:
Quote: | Wow, what a horrible, depressingly underwhelming return. |
Quote: | I'm so pissed that Tatum isn't coming here. I hate that LeBron got what he wanted. But hey, I'm staying positive. I'm actually a bigger Josh Hart fan than most. |
Quote: | I’m just here for the meltdown |
Quote: | This ruined my weekend. |
Quote: | This is truly Lebrons league now . The future is looking really bright for us though. I wonder what we do with all these picks now. |
Quote: | Dell Demps died for this |
Celtics:
Quote: | Long live the Hospital Celtics! |
Quote: | Here comes the youth movement.
Hope you’re ready for growing pains. |
Quote: | LOL told ya the deal will go down over the weekend.
Can't believe they get to keep Kuzma though. What a steal for the Lakers. |
Quote: | Sort of inevitable. But I guess we are back to square one and rebuilding. Going to be a long 3-5 years folks. Buckle up. |
Quote: | WOW. Unbelievable.
The Lakers always get what they want, right? SMH
Gonna be another disappointing Celtics season, as far as I'm concerned. No AD, Kyrie's probably gone, and Danny will probably keep Rozier. Ugh. Gross.
In case you're wondering, no, I don't think Tatum and/or Brown and/or Rozier are gonna be superstars. |
Quote: | Ainge literally sat on his hands during the 2018-2019 season, did not acquire bigs midseason and pretty much did nothing getting Anthony Davis.
The Pelicans could have literally traded for Davis in February with that same package offered, except they wouldn't know a pick would've been the #4 pick.
The Celtics wasted this year and now the Celtics are going to waste another year. |
Quote: | So over the past two years we've missed out on acquiring Paul George, Jimmy Butler, and now Anthony Davis. |
Quote: | I would be devastated to see the Lakers to destroy the Celtics in Boston and then beat them again in Los Angeles.
LeBron/Davis/All-Star #3...tough. |
Quote: | No joke. I'm likely to no longer going to watch NBA basketball. The Lakers get what they want. I wanted since the kg/pierce to nets deal for ainge to get Davis . Now we're back in the NBA lottery. The lotto was rigged too for the Lakers. 4 years in the top 4!!! This isn't a sport. Its more rigged than the wwe |
Quote: | Sickening. Summer ruined. Lakers are the only franchise in sports that can be a laughing stock of dysfunction and still end up (once again) with 2 of the top 5 players in the game. They’ve turned it around in 12 months with LBJ deciding that’s where he wants to be and then AD manipulating his way there. I’m disgusted. |
Spurs:
Quote: | Can’t believe they didn’t have to include Kuzma |
Quote: | Lebron , Davis , Kuzma and possibly adding Jimmy butler to the mix .. wow |
Quote: | great trade for the lakers. |
Quote: | .... and the Spurs have Derozan and Patty Mills. |
Quote: | Welp atleast we got culture |
Quote: | (bleep) Kwahi, Lakers, Lebron, AD, etc ....
Horrible haul for NO outside of the 4th pick and maybe hart. BI and Ball are overrated. 2 of the picks will be late 1st round picks I imagine .... |
Quote: | Another huge L for the Spurs.. dear god this has been a rough 2.5 years.
THREE (bleep) 1st's and the best we net for the best player on Earth is a loser, a role player big, and a PROTECTED 1st |

Haha this is great. Thanks, man. More QFTOS from Staccatos below. Plus this: https://twitter.com/LakeShowYo/status/1138903605145100290
Staccatos wrote: | Some more quotes from the other side:
BOSTON CELTICS (the disappointment is real)
Quote: | what a haul for the lakers too. An arguable top 5 player entering his prime who will re-sign in LA for lonzo, ingram, a 4th pick they shouldnt have gotten anyway, and some first round picks that wont mean much. |
Quote: | Guess I can finally buy a Smart jersey then. Lakers fans are about to be even more obnoxious though |
Quote: | Cant believe people are celebrating this |
Quote: | Davis would have left and look at what the lakers gave away. Ball, Ingram, hart, and 3 first round picks? For a guy who's got an injury history, complains and hasnt done anything in the post season? I'm sorry but (bleep) that. If had to give away all that to get him and he leaves at the end of the year, then you can say goodbye to a winning record for a while. Atleast with what we have now we can get a winning record and do some things. It was not worth it if they wanted brown, Tatum, smart and 3 first rounders. It just wasnt. |
Quote: | Wowww didn't even give up Kuzma. I'm kinda shocked Ainge wouldn't top this deal. He must have really believed there was no way he'd resign and/or they were demanding both the Jay's.
It sucks that we didnt make moves for Paul George or Kawhi because we were so focused on this (bleep) but at least it's over. (bleep) AD, (bleep) Rich Paul. |
Quote: | That deal’s better than anything we could offer without giving up Tatum. No way would Ainge offer Tatum without confidence AD would re-sign.
Lakers basically got to keep Kuzma because (bleep) Rich Paul. |
Quote: | At least I can look forward to cheap tickets for my last year living in Boston |
Quote: | Is no one else disappointed? AD was our best shot at a title (and keeping Kyrie). Now, who knows what our future holds. |
Quote: | Yer (bleep) the Lakers. Sick of them tampering the (bleep) out of anyone with talent |
Quote: | First Bruins now this |
Quote: | I don’t see how Boston is going to seriously compete for the East now. We will be another 1st or 2nd round exit next year |
Quote: | On the bright side, Brad will do a better job coaching next year since he'll have a bunch of young, scrappy underdogs, instead of star players, which he can't coach. |
Quote: | I can like lonzo now |
Quote: | Well it's official. He (Danny Ainge) failed. Defend him if you please. This was the last domino. I listened to Larbrd plead with me that this has always been about Davis.
I agreed I'll wait until the end and the end times is here. Fire Danny. Hire Masai at all costs. GM more important than Stevens that's for sure.
No Paul George, Butler, Davis, Cousins, Kawhi. Fire Danny! |
NEW ORLEANS PELICANS (I can't find any Pelicans fans - half the comments on the Pels boards seem to be from Lakers fans)
Quote: | Lonzo Ball obviously is talented but ever since the (bleep) talking I didn't want him here even without father shenanigans. Ingram is cool if the health isn't a concern. Picks are sweet. |
Quote: | Lakers fans saying it’s too much. I’m satisfied |
Quote: | How the (bleep) did we get 3 (THREE) first rounders? |
Quote: | Lol the worst part about this is that everyone is praising it instead of (bleep) on it, so you just know this trade is going to stink down the line.
Only great trades are the ones that everybody calls fleeces. Boogie, PG, etc. |
Quote: | Now you've got to deal with the Lonzo stans. Prepare to be assaulted any time you say something about him that isn't the highest of praises. |
Quote: | Those dudes are nuts forreal. You thought Lakers fans were bad? People stay on the Balls balls like nothing else. |
Quote: | The irrational love for Lonzo is absolutely insane. Never seen anything like it |
Quote: | No way Griffin is done in my opinion. I love this haul as is so far, but wouldnt be surprised to see some of these assets flipped |
SAN ANTONIO SPURS (they still can't let go of Kawhi)
Quote: | I enjoy the fact no one even cares to talk about the Finals winners anymore. |
Quote: | Almost exactly what the Spurs wanted. I'm super curious why that never went through when the Lakers had Kawhi who was a top 5 player along with Davis. As well as being on a much cheaper contract. |
Quote: | This is a huge win for both sides, but a bigger win for NOLA. Lakers automatically the favorites to be next years champions, plus that depth surrounding Zion would make NOLA a potential playoff team in his first year. The effects of this trade is gonna give us fits the next few years. |
Quote: | It’s pretty much a win-win for both sides. Lakers get AD, keep Kuzma, and have around 27-32 million cap space to either throw a max offer or fill up the bench.
Pelicans get draft picks, 3 young players, to build around Zion/Jrue to compete right now. They can also trade the 4th overall pick to get more draft capita.
And before anyone says how the Spurs could have gotten this type of deal are lying to themselves. Pop didn’t want to trade with LA, and Kawhi tanked his trade value. The Spurs probably could have gotten only Ingram, Kuzma, Salary Filler, and 2018 1st Round Pick. |
Quote: | Pop didnt really want to deal with the lakers thats why he asked for kuz plus several picks and swaps. So to say that they got the same as we wanted is just false. Pretty sure lakers would have given that package for kawhi too but we didnt accept. |
Quote: | Me thinks Jimmy Buckets or Kemba will be joining them shortly tbh. |

Get what we want??? What the (bleep) are they smoking??
Didn’t we get trade vetoed?
Didn’t Dwight Howard bounce after 1 season
Didn’t We lose out on free agency the past 6 seasons
Did we make the playoffs in 6 years?
Get the (bleep) out of here with that (bleep) |
