The Anthony Davis trade discussions this season went about as poorly as possible for the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only did they not end up with Davis, despite offering up essentially every asset at their disposal, but they antagonized just about every player on the team with incessant trade rumors in the process.
The front office got a lot of grief around the league for how they approached the trade, both because of the widely public nature of so many of the offers, but also because many NBA people didn’t think Los Angeles’ trade package was all that appealing.
