Rich Paul: Luka AD trade wouldn't have happened if I knew

[KFBF]

What could he have done to stop it? I guess he could have leaked it to the media and the circus might have ensued.

If Rich blocked the trade and we find out later on, the Lakers fan base would have turned on him something crazy

 

[FaTaL]

How does Paul think he could stop that trade from being made is what I'm trying to figure out? The Lakers of all teams wouldn't (or shouldn't at least) worry about him not "letting" a player sign there. If a player wants to go to LA and they want them it's gonna happen.

he would of used social media to cause public outcry in dallas

 

[T-K-G]

He has no power to stop any trade. There are only 3 people in the NBA who can do that: Adam Silver, Bradley Beal and LeBron. What was he gonna do? Tell the Mavs AD wasn’t gonna show up and collect his tens of millions of dollars?

Weren't the Jazz involved in making this happen unknowingly?

Didn't Ainge say he would've stopped it if he knew it was happening but it was too late?

Y'all just taking this opportunity to joke on Rich Paul cuz he's annoying to listen to, but clearly if the whole league knew about this other people would have conspired to stop it. Not necessarily rich by himself

All rich would've had to do is leak the information and the other owners would've stepped in to muddy the process.

Exactly idk why these nikkas being obtuse when other owners clearly seemed disgruntled that they didn't know about this

Anyone who leaked that trade information would have basically stopped it

the whole thing was a ruse, if you truly wanted full value for luka you would of called everybody, what they got back was really sh!tty

Yall truly believe lebron ain’t know about a trade at some point… cut it out.. “I was at dinner with the fam just as shocked” lmao right

 

[bigde09]

I never saw Bron look happier the first night he played with Luca

The fact Klutch camp were left in the dark should be a stark message to them

can't use the player won't resign angle since he got 2 seasons left before he can opt out. that's usually Rich's goto move.


don't think they knew either. AD didn't wanna packup and move to Dallas. He would've cussed Rich the fukk out. Lakers just took their nuts back from Klutch, that's all. Thanks to a sweet deal between friends that isn't as one sided as many believe.

He didn’t say he would’ve stopped it, he said he would’ve tried to get in the sweepstakes. At the end of the day, nobody was willing to go star for star except LA. Dallas wasn’t interested in those trash draft picks from Utah or any other bottom feeder

For Rich to make this comment is WILD

LeGBT LOST

Luka GANG

 

[10bandz]

This sounds and smells like BS. The Lakers got younger and better in the long term. No need to make excuses as any team would have made this trade for a talent like Luka.

yeah and they undercut Klutch influence at the same time. I believe Rich, he didnt know and if he did he would've tried to stop it in an attempt to keep power for Bron and himself.

It's over

 

[areohbee824]

Btw did AD go to the All-Star game?

Don't think he did

 

[10bandz]

LA had a chance to prepare for the future. Bron and Ad got their ring and it hasn’t worked since then. Pelinka hasnt done the best job of putting the right talent around them so that’s why I think AD waived the kicker AD has wanted to be the 4 for years. Bron has been trying to give AD the keys but that just ain’t ADs steelo. Nico and Rob are homies so it was damn near LA or nothing (because they weren’t trading Giannis for Luka). It was a perfect storm damn near and Luka basically fell into Pelinkas lap. It wasnt about sending a message to Bron because Bron been trying to take a lesser role. Some of you nikkas just gone push the agenda regardles. It’s cool but y’all know better.

This nikka making up a whole ass story and still trying to shyt on Rob
