LeBron James Sent Shocking Anthony Davis Trade Message, Lakers Face Big Issue

The Los Angeles Lakers are missing out the playoffs, and there’s still a lot of work to be done. The worst part comes when you realize that the Anthony Davis saga isn’t over yet.

LeBron James will want the front office to complete a trade deal for the New Orleans Pelicans star, but Matt Barnes is convinced that Magic Johnson will have to try even more.

Davis even requested to be traded, and the request was made public right before the deadline. The Pelicans tried to get most of the young Lakers. So, it was a big no from both sides.

Anthony Davis is an important figure now

Barnes says this summer will be really important for LA. They have to make a few important decisions and be careful about their next move. They will either improve or become even worse than 2018.

“They’re really hyped up on the AD situation,” Barnes said on Undisputed. “AD and LeBron, plus the best coach in the world, is not enough in the west. It’s going to be a very interesting summer for them. I think they have to clean house and mend a lot of bridges because they really started a wildfire this last trade deadline with all their young players. What they really have to do is be careful because right now it’s not looking like an attractive destination to come to in the first place.

“They have to really be careful how they play this situation when dangling their young players out this offseason for trades because if you end up with these same guys that you tried to burn last season to start this season and you pull the same process this summer, it’s going to be an even uglier year.

“I’m hoping as a fan that the front office does what they need to do, LeBron pulls some magic… But to me the Clippers look like a beautiful destination. It’s not so much about the Lakers and L.A. no more because all the players live here in the offseason now so it’s not so much about being in L.A., right now it’s about the best fit, winning and having a good time.

“You look next door, they got the best owner in the game; Jerry West making moves and then one of the better coaches in the NBA in Doc Rivers. So the Lakers have a lot of work to do and they need a lot of help.”
