Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Miles Bridges, F/C PJ Washington, F Gordon Hayward, 2022 First-Round Pick (NOP)
Charlotte Hornets Receive: C/F Anthony Davis, G Kendrick Nunn

This deal involves a lot of moving pieces. Miles Bridges, PJ Washington, and Kendrick Nunn are due for new contracts this season. They’d all have to agree to sign-and-trades to make this deal possible. Even supposing they did, this trade is fraught with downside for both parties.

Parting with Bridges particularly stings for the Hornets. Bridges’ 24-y run-and-jump athlete is a perfect complement to the uptempo style the Hornets prefer to play with LaMelo Ball at the helm.

However, that’s the cost of doing business in the NBA. The Hornets need a center, and if Davis can regain his footing, he could push this group into a different stratosphere.

On the other hand, if the Lakers brass feels as though this deal doesn’t move the needle, the Hornets may have to part with more draft capital.
