The New Orleans Pelicans' All Star power forward/center Anthony Davis has been producing MVP level type of numbers so far this 2016-2017 NBA season. The player whom many people call as "The Brow", Anthony Davis has been averaging 30.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 blocks, and 1.7 steals per game in 38.3 minutes of playing time.
But despite the monster numbers that Anthony Davis has been producing this season, it hasn't translated to wins for the New Orleans Pelicans. The New Orleans Pelicans is one of the worst teams in the NBA this season. With an 8-18 win loss record, the New Orleans Pelicans are currently in 13th place in the Western Conference. They are 2-8 in their last 10 games.
A superstar player on a losing team is not a good combination to have. With all these losing, trade rumors and all sorts of speculations are sure to follow the New Orleans Pelicans especially on the team's superstar and franchise player Anthony Davis.
Anthony Davis has been involved in trade talks around the NBA since the early beginnings of this season up to today. The trade rumors has somewhat died down for some time during the season, but this past couple of weeks, the talks started to heat up again.
With all the trade destinations that Anthony Davis has been rumored to be headed to, there's one question that's been intriguing some people lately. Is there a possibility that Anthony Davis could be headed to the Los Angeles Lakers?
Given the situation right now of both the New Orleans Pelicans and the Los Angeles Lakers, that possibility might become a reality
Like the New Orleans Pelicans, the Los Angeles Lakers have losing record this season. What started out as a promising season with the hopes of coming back to the playoffs this season, the Los Angeles Lakers found themselves on a downward spiral as injuries to several players have plagued them these past couple of weeks. Currently the Los Angeles Lakers are in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 10-18 record. They are currently on an eight game losing streak.
With all that losing, the Los Angeles Lakers might make some moves before the trade deadline. They are also looking for a superstar player to carry the franchise after the retirement of NBA legend Kobe Bryant. Anthony Davis definitely fits the bill.
If the Los Angeles Lakers plan on pursuing Anthony Davis, they have the money and the assets to make a deal possible. It may be long shot but, in the NBA, anything is possible.
