There’s been a lot of talk over the last week about how Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka have been saving all of the Los Angeles Lakers “young assets”, for a trade with the Pelicans. The common thinking around the league and among most fan bases is that when you get a chance at a top-5 player you go out and make a trade for him, no matter what.
Does this make sense though? Should the Lakers gut their roster for Anthony Davis?
I typed in a good example of what the Pelicans would want in a trade with the Lakers into ESPN’s Trade Machine: The Pelicans get; Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart, and KCP.
