1. Los Angeles Lakers For Anthony Davis
The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics are long-time rivals. Imagine they came together on a deal to swap All-Stars? This trade would send shockwaves throughout the NBA. It would be a deal that people talked about for a long time as one of the bigger blockbusters in recent memory.
The Celtics were in the running for Anthony Davis when he requested his trade from the New Orleans Pelicans, but were not able to get a deal done. They get a second chance at that, but it would cost them Jaylen Brown in the deal.
Davis and Jayson Tatum would be quite a combo for the Celtics to build around in the future. Davis could anchor their defensive attack while Tatum led things offensively. If they could find a point guard to run the show, watch out.
As for the Lakers, they seem to have found something with LeBron James playing a big man spot. With Davis out of the lineup, Los Angeles has started to see their offense take off as James and Russell Westbrook are surrounded by shooters.

Adding Brown to that mix would help compensate for some of the weak areas on the Lakers roster. He would bring some much-needed perimeter defense and a big upgrade on the wing, where Trevor Ariza and James are the only true options they have.
Brown’s 3-point shooting would also be a boon for Los Angeles on offense. Having two premier playmakers in Westbrook and James setting you up is a dream scenario for Brown, who would become the long-term face of the franchise, to be in.

A Davis for Brown swap is not going to happen any time soon, but down the road, if it becomes a reality that changes are needed, swapping them for each other would be quite a move.
