The Los Angeles Lakers will probably not trade NBA superstar Anthony Davis this summer. Still, “probably” is far removed from “definitely”.
The Lakers’ 2021-22 season was so disastrous that no possibility is off the table. In this era of player movement, Davis is probably not untouchable.
His value is probably not as high as the Lakers would like either. Realistically, Davis hasn’t been himself in two years. Any team acquiring him is taking a risk at this point. If he can return to form, it will prove a risk worth taking.
The Lakers should at least listen to offers. They’re that desperate. In all likelihood, they’ll look to move Westbrook first.
