Once the Los Angeles Lakers signed LeBron James, the focus shifted to who would become the second All-Star to join the team. Speculation thus far has linked the Lakers to the likes of Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson, among others, in 2019 free agency.
While he remains under contract for two more seasons (player option for 2020-21), New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis is another who’s been projected by some to eventually wind up playing for the Lakers.
James openly embraced the possibility when recently asked if he would like to have Davis as a teammate.
