Windhorst: Anthony Davis fully committed to Lakers
NBA insider Brian Windhorst of ESPN has spoken out about Davis’ current situation with the Lakers. The renowned NBA guru guested on The Dan Patrick Show recently, and he took it as an opportunity to drop a truth bomb on AD’s commitment level with LeBron and the Lakers: “While I admit there might be something amiss there, I don’t think Anthony Davis wants to not be a Laker,” Windhorst said (h/t Jonathan Sherman of Lakers Daily). “My understanding is he still is 100 percent bought in on that.”

TIL Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown for Anthony Davis was never a thing back in the day but a variation of it for Jimmy Butler was. Im glad Danny kept talking because i didnt know what the hell i was going to say if he stopped. – 3:51 PM

D’Angelo Russell on playing alongside LeBron and AD: “It’s just easy.”
He added that, “When your two best players are willing passers and selfless,” it just makes things flow.

AD: “Tonight there was a huge emphasis on getting this win … guys came out flying.”
Davis cited Russell’s shooting/playmaking, Vanderbilt’s defense and know how, + the spacing Beasley provides as points of emphasis for the new-look starting lineup. AD and Russell were both +18. – 12:59 AM

As Joel/AD discussed on TV broadcast, on paper #Pelicans have easiest schedule remaining in #NBA. That could be helpful. At same time, there have never been less downright terrible teams in the league. There are so few nights where all you need to do is show up to win – 12:54 AM

Darvin Ham said the design of the new starting lineup, the 3 newcomers alongside LeBron and AD, was to create balance on the floor with the starters and bench. Clearly, it couldn’t have started much better: “I thought we had a well-balanced attack and were great defensively.” – 12:48 AM

I’ll wait for some consistency to react because we’ve seen this team revert back to their old ways time and time again… BUT they looked good tonight, especially AD and DLo. They have the ability to be fun to watch in the final stretch after the All-Star break. – 12:46 AM

More on this storyline
“LeBron and his camp have been frustrated by how many minutes he has to play,” Cowherd said on The Herd. “They can’t depend on Anthony Davis. They are also mad that Darvin Ham (Lakers coach) is not keeping the pressure on Anthony Davis … I talked to an NBA source who I’ve known for a long tie, he said the Dallas Mavericks and Anthony Davis, keep your eye on it. -via FOXSports.com / February 16, 2023
“Anthony Davis is pouting, LeBron’s holding him accountable, LeBron’s not happy with him, AD’s gone into a funk, it’s not a coincidence.” -via FOXSports.com / February 16, 2023
OptaSTATS: The @Lakers ‘ LeBron James, Anthony Davis & D’Angelo Russell are the 2nd trio of starters since the NBA-ABA merger to each have 20 points & 5 assists in their 1st game played together as teammates.
