And Toronto and Philly don't seem willing to chance that, even though they already have THIS year? And there are other teams in desperate situations, with stars in their primes and not quite enough to feasibly go to war with Golden State or even the East's heavyweights (Portland, possibly Houston).

AD is that good, and a year and a half is a lot when it's a talent at this level who is unlikely to sign in LA if he's out here counting rings.
