The Pelicans have agreed to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks – including the 2019 No. 4 overall pick.

    It makes it interesting. I’m still having a hard time buying the Lakers.

    I expect them to heavily pursue Kemba Walker in free agency

    Its the least they could have given now. They keep Kuzma. Good deal for both. The Pelicans get to get a bunch of young stars who will want to leave at the first chance and the Lakers get one of the two stars they need. Role players will fill the rest

    Just leave Jimmy F Butler alone please

    It will be interesting to see what the Lakers are able to put together.

    The good news is that they have $35M of cap space (or thereabouts) left after the deal but only essentially 4 players under contract to get that cap space as that requires them renouncing everybody. And the reality is that the $35M isn't completely true because there will be at least some amount of cap holds tied to filling out the league roster at the minimum.

    They don't really have any draft picks available to them so I'm not entirely sure what they're going to have in terms of any kind of depth on their roster.

    If people were saying that the Warriors had a thin bench this year, just wait until you see the Lakers bench this year.

    I would much rather have a guy like Leonard and then go out and sign a ricky rubio than take walker. Walker is a good PG, but Leonard is on another planet(obviously) as a player. There are some PG's out there that don't need to shoot who will be available and want to play with a lineup of bron/davis/leonard

    The $ may still be an issue in getting a 3rd star to come to LA.

    LeBron was hanging out with Kylian Mbappe this week wearing a Liverpool FC hat. I'm back to loving him. Go Lakers!!!!
