Los Angeles Lakers
Pelicans Get: Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, 1st-round pick
Lakers Get: Anthony Davis
It’s no surprise that the Los Angeles Lakers are on this list, even more so considering that LeBron James and Anthony Davis share an agent now. Everyone knows that Los Angeles is eyeing a second star to stick next to LeBron, that’s no secret, and sitting at the top of their wishlist is none other than AD.
It’s important for the Lakers to go all-in on acquiring AD at the NBA Trade Deadline, mostly because Boston, the team with the most assets, are a team that simply can’t trade for him (without moving Kyrie Irving) right now.
The Lakers should offer Ingram, Lonzo (though his injury could make things complicated) and a first-round pick (or two) for AD. KCP would be a salary filler to make it work all around.
This deal would largely depend on whether the Pelicans want to move him at the trade deadline or not, but this is a real solid deal for AD. It really can’t get much better than this offer.
