yeah i mean anthony davis is a center like let's make no mistake about it i'm i'm just like sharing that that that is what he's wanted and if we're arguing that like they've catered like because i i just think there's a narrative out there that they've completely catered to lebron and ad's wishes and whatever they want and i i'm just pushing back a little bit against that because i think there's been some very clear things that they've wanted that they've not gotten that that maybe in other situations they would get but 80 is by the way

Yeah, and to your point, they have given them whatever contracts they wanted in terms of contract structure, so that's certainly an argument against that as well. But in terms of AD, I think the one thing that has been true, and I think the one thing that he feels is like,

I think he likes when playing next to another big and having that guy be the primary center defender, and then he can roam defensively. And I think going back to the 2020 title year, when you had JaVale or Dwight on,

Nikola Jokic or whatever other big man they were running into, AD liked being the roamer who could be the low man, be helping rotating out the shooters and just kind of manning, quarterbacking the defense in that sense. So I think for him, like one, you know, Constant thing that the teams try to do against the Lakers when he's at the five is you just try to get him out of the paint.

And Steve Kerr has talked about like Golden State's entire offense when they play the Lakers is trying to find and come up with ways to get Anthony Davis away from the rim. And they feel like if they can get 80 out of the away from the rim, it's going to be a layup line or an offensive rebound line. uh, or party, whatever. Uh, so I think that's like, that's two eighties, I guess, argument.

I, I, I see the value in that. And the Lakers, like even the last couple of years have tended to play better when they played bigger lineups, uh, not even necessarily another center out there, but like when they play their big wings and they're going like LeBron, a big guy, six, eight or six, nine and above NAD, those lineups have played really well.

It's just been because the roster has been so kind of structured towards guards and perimeter guys that they typically play these like three guard lineups that haven't been as good defensively. So I get where 80 is coming from, but ultimately he's a five. And I think Dallas is going to figure out with their roster, like him closing at the five is the best option.
