As the Los Angeles Lakers get ready for the New Year, they have to be pleased with how the first part of the 2019-20 season has gone.
Over the summer, the Lakers made a big move to acquire Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans. The price to acquire a superstar like Davis was not cheap, as the Lakers sent multiple first-round picks and most of their young core to New Orleans. For just one player, many thought that it was too steep of a price.
However, the Lakers hold the best record in the Western Conference with Davis on the team, and he and LeBron James have become great friends.
