Houston Rockets Receive: C Anthony Davis
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: C Christian Wood, G Eric Gordon, C Daniel Theis, F Jae’Sean Tate, 2023 First-Round Pick, 2025 First-Round Pick, 2027 First-Round Pick
What a trade this would be. Anthony Davis would head to Houston to pair with Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr, while the Los Angeles Lakers would get some quality depth and some picks to flip.
Regardless, though, this is definitely an odd trade for sure.
Despite his shooting woes, Davis is still putting together a solid (but poor for him) season this year. He’s averaging 23.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2.1 blocks while shooting 52.4 percent from the field and 18.0 percent from three-point land.
Christian Wood, who has been at the center of many NBA trade rumors this year, is playing well, too. The big man is averaging 17.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 36.0 percent from deep.

Eric Gordon is shooting lights out this year (14.4 points on 49.8-43.9 splits), Daniel Theis is having a decent season (8.4 points, 5.0 rebounds), and Jae’Sean Tate has played well, too (12.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists).
There would clearly be a lot of moving pieces in a trade like this, with five players switching teams. But as asked previously, why would each team be interested in a trade like this one? How would it benefit both sides?
