Lonzo Ball, who became a fan favorite in his first two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, ended up being one of the pieces moved in the blockbuster trade that brought Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans. Ball was moved along with Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and multiple draft picks.
As a constant reminder, the NBA is a business and no one was more familiar of that concept than Ball.
Before the trade, Ball was in a legal battle with his former mentor and Big Baller Brand consultant, Alan Foster. It’s things like this that almost made Lakers fans happy when he got traded.
