WATCH: Anthony Davis trade? Los Angeles Lakers to discuss possibility this summer
Mar. 27, 2024 – 03:31 – When the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off the blockbuster Anthony Davis trade with the New Orleans Pelicans ahead of the 2019-20 season, the expectation was that he’d team up with LeBron James for many years.
James had just joined the Lakers the previous summer as a free agent from the Cleveland Cavaliers. He wanted a star running partner in Southern California.
It has worked out to an extent. The two led Los Angeles to the NBA title during the COVID-shortened 2019-20 season. Since then, it’s been completely downhill — leading to speculation that the Lakers might move Davis this summer.
