After a drama-filled six months, the New Orleans Pelicans eventually traded Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and draft picks.

As the Lakers are looking to win now with Davis and LeBron James, the Pelicans have an extremely talented young core and also have the assets for a quick rebuilding process.
