The NBA offseason is always an exciting time as landscapes change in free agency, big-time trades shake up the playing field and there’s no end to the drama that ensues. The craziness got started off with a bang on Saturday as it was announced that New Orleans Pelicans big man Anthony Davis was finally traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
This was a transaction that had been in the works for a while and came as little surprise. Davis long ago requested to be traded and there was no question that the Lakers were his preferred destination and that Los Angeles was desperate to add him as well to pair along fellow superstar LeBron James.
