It is sad to see Anthony Davis, the face of the franchise, leave this way, but this is what he said he wanted back in January. There’s no need to be bitter with this new front office. When Adrian Wojnarowski broke the trade news Saturday, and NBA, New Orleans Pelicans, and Los Angeles Lakers Twitter exploded. “Who won the trade?!?” “OH MY GOD, IT HAPPENED!” “The Lakers gave up too much!” “New Orleans Pelicans are must see TV!!!”
It was a wild night. But now, we need to come back to Earth and look at what we did lose; an elite rebounder and shotblocker in the post with a good jumper and some stroke from three point range.
