Earlier this week, we reported that the Los Angeles Lakers would officially land Antony Davis on Saturday. Well, the deal has gone down, as the Lake Show gets their big man to pair up with LeBron James and second superstar in the works. The New Orleans Pelicans receive Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three future 1st-round picks.
The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks — including the No. 4 overall in 2019 Draft.

The Lakers will have either $27.8M in room or $32.5M in room after this deal. All depends on the timing and if Davis waives his $4M trade bonus.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski also reports that Davis is willing to sign with the Lake Show in summer of 2020 when his free agency starts. Los Angeles was one of the only teams that AD was willing to sign long term with.
Do you think another star comes to L.A. in free agency or do the Lakers round out the rosters with some key role players and add depth?
