He's not getting any younger, Lakers have a long term plans for both davis and Lebron if they will going to build a team which still competitive after some years they need new talents to help them. Right now the team showing good blends and from both ends (offense and defense), even without Iggy the team is already composed of players who can cover his possible spot. No need to adjust to bring him up.

I do remember that and also how he did it with Lillard. But we also have to consider his agility by now and as I said the injuries. What will be his use if he gets injured mostly and cannot play? How could he defend?
But his voice is still working, so that could also provide a lot of help for the Lakers team.


Yes, but then again they lack something.
Mike D'Antoni also did this with the Phoenix Suns team giving Steve Nash a two time NBA Season MVP but at the end they still fell short.
Same thing is happening with the Houston team.
They added another offensive player which is Westbrook. Why not a good defender to help Capela and Tucker on defending superstars whenever they are against those powerful teams.

I don't think that is the case. Nobody is forgetting anything. It's just that teams have to make a decision not just on past achievement but also on the current conditions of players and even age.

For me, there is no need need for him to prove anything. He's done great and accomplished more than half of the current and retired NBA players.

Having Titles and achieve being MVP even in the finals is an achievement most NBA players wanted to have, there's no need for Iggy to prove himself
as what you have said. Even he's going to play to any team his legacy will remain being acknowledge.

Every Player needs to accept that the time of your prime will passed and newcomers will be there, so proving your worth while you still have the chance is everything to this league. It's your legacy after all.

Yep, nobody will ever forget him that he was the Finals MVP. It's probably because of his age and he accepted a bench role in GS for the sake of championship and that made his career goes down dramatically, although they won many times in championship match and he still got decent salary. Although all of those things, his stats went down since he took the sixth man or bench. But more importantly, it was his age.

Dude, like even LeBron James is finding a hard time to have a star player by his side with the Lakers(before his debut). They kept on luring Kawhi and PG13 but no response. They know that they need to play harder than usual because of LeBron's age. Not to blame him but you can see on his defense his breakdown. At his prime he's always at First team all NBA, First team defense. But he's slacking as Carmelo. I'm not saying that he's a real liability in defense as Melo, but still there could be times he be like that. And he ended up blaming his teammates FOR HIS OWN MISTAKE. Not a LeBron fan, just stating the fact, in fact I'm siding with the Lakers this season. 

The current roster is promising and strong but who knows if the management just want to take a sure roster? they also have Howard, Cousins and Green.

I guess you are right with this guys. They have committed much already with the tandem and I don't think they need to add him to the roster but as I've said, we don't know what's on their mind. They might see this as an open opportunity for them for the brand.

Right, he is already on the twilight on his career he had a good time with Iverson during their days in Philly and his golden years where at GSW when he won a MVP. I guess that's what all NBA players goes, at  least he was able to maintain his game and developed to be a good role and defensive player, and with that said, nothing to proved. He might be a good mentor though for the younger generations and future NBA stars like him.

An overhaul to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Zion Williams
Lonzo Ball
Brandon Ingram
Josh Hart
Jrue Holiday
J.J. Redick
Nicolo Melli
Jaxson Hayes

and their new addition. Derrick Favors

For me, it is a strong roster. The problem is these are young guys. Chemistry will be difficult to achieve.
Any thoughts?

And the thing is, there's no clear leadership here. No one has proven yet in these young players career as who can step up the plate and be the the main man or at least be consistent specially in the leadership role.

I would like to say Lonzo Ball, but during his Lakers day we didn't see anything from him so it will be very difficult to say at this point. Of course they have Zion, but he is still a rookie. So they look good in papers but I don't expect something big to happen in this season.

Williamson is indeed a good player but I don't think he can be the next LeBron with the way he play. Yes he's athletic player but he still needs to prove that to the who NBA that he is not just hype.
