As the Los Angeles Lakers continue to try to hang on without LeBron James, there have been a lot of rumors surrounding the team. With Anthony Davis recently stating that he wants out of New Orleans, the Lakers have been linked already to the star.
In order to get a player like Davis, the Lakers would have to part ways with a good chunk of their young core. Over the past few years, the Lakers have done a very nice job of building this young core of talent.
When trade rumors start flying around, players aren’t blind to what they see on social media and that could take a toll on a young player.
