The Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly discussing a possible trade for superstar Anthony Davis.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Lakers are talking about potentially moving Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and using their fourth overall pick in order to lure another team to send a player to the Pelicans for Davis.
The Lakers tried to acquire the star forward this past season but failed. Wojnarowski also reported the Lakers don’t want to move Kyle Kuzma right now. (RELATED: Los Angeles Lakers Make Jason Kidd The Highest Paid Assistant In The NBA)

Well, the Lakers couldn’t land Davis during the past regular season, but it sure sounds like they’re doing their best to get him now.
LeBron and Davis on the same team would be awesome, even if it did mean Lonzo and Ingram had to get moved in the process.
Besides, it wouldn’t be the worst case scenario for the oldest Ball brother. The Pelicans are about to have Zion Williamson. That could be a very dangerous combo.
