Anthony Davis to the Lakers
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.

Just leave Jimmy F Butler alone please
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.
He had the wrong others this year. They need 3 point shooters
And Lebron to have something left
Missing the playoffs for whatever reason. AD walking after not signing a long term contract. Lebron retiring or finally showing the mileage and going off the the Spurs. The Pelicans becoming a legit team with Lonzo, Jrue, Ingram, Zion, and Culver plus 2 more years of early first round picks.
All 3 pelicans fans should be rooting harder for a Lebron injury than for their team to win next year.
