The NBA thrives on trade rumors like the Anthony Davis saga, but they’re less fun for the organizations involved, which is probably why the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans can’t stop anonymously whining about leaks.
Over the past week, it’s been mostly the Lakers doing the complaining, with owner Jeanie Buss calling the reports of the Lakers trade proposals for Davis “fake news,” and the Lakers leaking that they were upset with the Pelicans for leaking their trade offers and that they thought NBA teams “have gone to great lengths” to sabotage them.
