Former New Orleans Pelicans star, Anthony Davis, is predicted to finally be the best player on his team soon.
At the time, the deal sent shockwaves through the NBA, as it gave LeBron James of the Lakers the star big man that he desired from the Pelicans. Los Angeles has had a long history of pulling off blockbuster trades for big men, and acquiring Davis was no different.
As expected, the return for Davis was substantial at the time, as the Pelicans received Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, three first-round draft picks, and one pick swap. “When they acquired him five years ago, the Los Angeles Lakers' plan for Anthony Davis was to succeed LeBron. It may have just been hard to imagine LeBron still being a top 5-10 player in the league by this point.”
“Still, if Davis is 80-85 percent of his current self in 2027, that's probably someone who averages a near-20-point double-double while blocking somewhere between one and two shots per game.”
