Lakers News: Anthony Davis To Wear No. 3 As Jersey Swap With LeBron James Delayed For 2019-20 NBA Season

Five months after the 2018-19 NBA trade deadline, the Los Angeles Lakers officially traded for Anthony Davis.

While the Lakers traded their entire young core except for Kyle Kuzma and multiple draft picks for Davis, he fulfills the team’s short- and long-term goals for the Lakers now.

As Davis waived his $4 million trade kicker to re-establish the team’s max-contract slot in free agency, LeBron James gifted his No. 23 jersey to him for the 2019-20 NBA season.
