The Los Angeles Lakers might see the New Orleans Pelicans in the playoffs after all.

For the next several years, the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans are going to be connected because of the Anthony Davis trade. Davis could become the face of the Lakers for years to come and the Pelicans’ young core could turn the team into one of the league’s best in a few seasons.

There is also the connection between LeBron James and Zion Williamson. Zion is the most hyped rookie that the league has seen since LeBron James and is the biggest physical specimen that has been drafted since LeBron James.
