New Orleans Pelicans: One Year Later, Would the Lakers Still Do the Davis Trade?

The New Orleans Pelicans have one of the youngest, most exciting and talented teams in the NBA and few fans in the Big Easy would want to change anything.

Do Lakers’ fans feel the same?

One year ago today, the Lakers finalized a trade for Anthony Davis, adding the superstar that LeBron James needed to potentially get the Lakers back to a title.

The Pelicans reaped the rewards, getting Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart along with pretty much all of the Lakers’ future draft picks.

It was largely heralded as a win for both teams, with LA landing another top five player in the NBA and the Pelicans getting a ton of young talent to build around.
