Ever since the announcement, the speculation over Davis’ trade move has increased significantly. Initially, he was linked with a move to Boston Celtics, but Lakers now look in a strong position to secure a trade move for the player.
After Anthony Davis Sr’s critical statement on Boston Celtics, the rumors over Davis moving to Lakers have grown stronger.
It was earlier reported that Lakes have offered two of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, and Ivica Zubac and a first round pick. And according to LA Times, the Pelicans are now considering a counter-offer.
Pelicans prepare counter-offer for Lakers:
The New Orleans Pelicans have reportedly decided to make a counter-offer for LA Lakers.
According to LA Times’ Tania Ganguli and Broderick Turner, The Pelicans would ask for two first-round picks and add a Pelicans player to the deal.
It was reported that Lakers, Celtics and New York Knicks were the three teams fighting for the signature of Anthony Davis. However, Knicks moved on from the idea of acquiring the Pelicans star.
While Celtics and Lakers have been hugely speculated for Davis’ trade, the former’s position weakened after the statement from Anthony Davis Sr., where he criticized the team.
“I would never want my son to play for Boston after what they done to Isaiah Thomas,” Davis’ father told ESPN.
“No loyalty. Guy gives his heart and soul and they traded him.
“This is just my opinion, not Anthony’s. I’ve just seen things over the years with Boston, and there’s no loyalty.”
