Since Anthony Davis’ trade request from the New Orleans Pelicans, the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly have made some progress ahead of the Feb. 7 deadline.
After Pelicans general manager Dell Demps reportedly was not taking calls from Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka, president of basketball operations Magic Johnson was able to eventually speak to him and present five different trade scenarios for Davis.
As one potential scenario included the entire young core, with the exception being Josh Hart, to go along with a first-round draft pick, it is clear the Lakers are trying to trade for Davis now.
