Over the last couple of seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers compiled one of the best collections of young talent in the NBA.
Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, and Josh Hart gave them an exciting core, but as is often the case, young talent was used to secure an established All-Star player.
The Lakers traded Ingram, Ball, and Hart to the New Orleans Pelicans for Anthony Davis as they look to immediately vault back into championship contention. Unfortunately, that meant the young core that has grown together is now split up, but that doesn’t mean the friendship between them will end.
