Los Angeles Lakers: 3 Things to consider when trading for Anthony Davis

Approaching 10 Years Without A Championship:

There’s no question that Lakers fans are and have always been spoiled. The historic franchise has 16 NBA championships, second to only Boston’s 17. However, nine of the Celtics’ 16 titles came during the Bill Russell era, which means the Lakers have been the winningest NBA franchise now for a very long time.

Nonetheless, Lakers fans aren’t happy with anything less than an NBA championship, and for good reason. The glamour of Los Angeles, and the love for LA’s beloved Lakers makes them arguably the most attractive destination in sports.

The last time the Lakers won an NBA championship, Carmelo Anthony was on the Denver Nuggets. This is too long for Lakers fans, and missing the playoffs every year since 2013 makes this a catastrophic time for Lakers fans. Therefore, it is crucial that the Rob Pelinka takes full advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity not to hesitate in a trade for Anthony Davis. It’s been too long since Lakers prominence, and LeBron James is 34 years old. The Lakers can’t afford to miss out on Anthony Davis, no matter what it means giving up.
