The Big Picture
Nothing in the world just happens. There are steps that need to be taken to get to end points and goals. Anthony Davis did not sign not sign with the Lakers’ new superstar LeBron James’ agency, media members in NBA circles are not just throwing the same prediction at the wall, and Vegas is not going to risk millions all for Anthony Davis to decide he is a Pelicans lifer.
You can try and convince yourself of any other outcome, but LeBron and The Brow will be sharing the floor at Staples Center within the next 12 months.
The stars are beginning to align for this not to happen, and maybe that was the biggest reason why Los Angeles didn’t jump at the opportunity to trade a good portion of their assets for Kawhi Leonard this summer.
Perhaps they knew what was coming next year, a shot at Anthony Davis.
