Davis should have high motivation. He got some heat in LAL for being hurt and not really taking the reign as the number 1 player in LAL after the championship and Lebron got older. AD was one of the highest rated prospects to enter the NBA and for the most part has delivered. Although since the trade, he has taken a lot. Not as much as Nico but him getting hurt again and being traded for a better, younger player and having people talk how awful the trade was should surely provide extra motivation. I think he really wanted to show what type of player he was. He just got hurt again trying to show it. Ha.
I think legacy is also a motivation. What does it do for their all time rankings if AD and Kyrie win a second championshoip? How about Klay winning his 5th? AD is aleady a top 75. Is he top 40 if he wins two? Some people thought Klay should have been a top 75. If he wins a second, does he secure a spot? If Kyrie has a 4-5 good years with another ring, is he a top 75?
