Analysis: Anthony Davis trade a win-win for both sides

The saga is over.

When this trade is done, everybody can say they won.

The Lakers, the Pelicans, Rich Paul, LeBron James, they all can take a victory lap. The trade that will be official in the coming weeks sending Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans to the Los Angeles Lakers for Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart and three first-round draft picks — first reported by ESPN, later confirmed to the Associated Press by several people with knowledge of the matter — is perfect for both sides.

James gets the superstar teammate he wanted.
