I didn’t say the Lakers shoukd do it, just that with things being how they are at the moment it’s not a lopsided trade. Davis can’t stay healthy and even when healthy he’s just not a guy that seems very motivated. Physically he has Giannis like capabilities, but he has nowhere close to the fire in his belly that Giannis does and that is why it would not be a terrible trade. That and the fact that he can’t stay on the court.
Would the Lakers be a legitimate contender with Westbrook, LeBron, Sabonis and Turner?
Keep in mind, the success they have had lately has been with super small ball led by LeBron at the 5.
AD and LeBron give the team a much higher ceiling. And the very fact that this deal may not be super lopsided at the moment is why it is a terrible trade for the Lakers.
You don’t win by selling at rock bottom for a premium asset like Anthony Davis.
