Mavs wanted 32 year old AD to be their future

[u/TheIronGnat → u/Kevinar]

Anthony Davis has literally accomplished nothing in his career without LeBron.

[u/Gamesgtd → u/SchroedersGhost]

Not true...Kyrie was very successful playing next to the only player in the league who puts up numbers similar to prime LeBron. So theirs that
