Some say that if you can’t beat them, you should join them. Of course, that’s not a popular adage in competitive sports. It’s not exactly a competitor’s mindset. Still, it’s become a more popular one in the NBA. 

Recently, players across the league have become more willing to jump ship. If a player has an opportunity to join forces with some stars, these days, they very well may do so. 

With that in mind, we don’t know who will emerge victorious between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies. This series is tied 1-1. Anything could happen moving forward. 

The series’ focus right now is the trash talk initiated by Dillon Brooks directed at LeBron James, calling him old. As the series shifts to Los Angeles, it remains to be see how it’ll play out.

When looking beyond this year’s playoffs, the future of the Lakers is something that should be considered. Anthony Davis was underwhelming in Game 2. What if he continues to struggle to provide a superstar impact?

If the Grizzlies win, could Anthony Davis join them this summer?
