For more than a week now, New Orleans Pelicans big-man Anthony Davis has been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers. Boston's rivals from the West Coast reportedly offered the Pels the kitchen sink but were unsuccessful striking a deal for the 25-year-old before Thursday's NBA Trade Deadline:
With the Lakers swinging and missing on Davis, the door opens up for the Celtics to make a deal for the six-time All-Star this summer.
The ideal situation for the C's would be to pair Davis with his close friend Kyrie Irving who will become a free-agent on July 1st.
