Regardless of what happens in 2019 NBA free agency, the Los Angeles Lakers have already made a massive splash this offseason with the Anthony Davis trade.
The deal gives them the second All-Star player they greatly desired to pair with LeBron James and one they can build around moving forward once James’ career begins finishing up.
Much like James, it didn’t take Davis long to make an impact and put the league on notice that he was one of the most talented players to come along in a very long time. Though he hasn’t experienced a ton of playoff success, the plan is for that to change in Los Angeles and James himself is excited to have him on board.
