The 2018-19 Los Angeles Lakers season was a disappointing one and one of the low points was around the trade deadline when they were connected to Anthony Davis.
Davis is one of the best players in the league and when he asked for a trade through agent Rich Paul, the Lakers were his preferred destination.
While a trade didn’t end up happening as then-New Orleans Pelicans general manager Dell Demps had no desire to trade Davis to his preferred destination, it became apparent that president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka wer offering almost every player on the roster for him.
