Los Angeles Lakers: Plan B trade options if LA doesn’t land Anthony Davis

The Los Angeles Lakers have seemingly gone all-in on acquiring Anthony Davis but need to establish some emergency Plan B trade options this summer.

TheLos Angeles Lakerswere unable to trade forAnthony Davisas the NBA Trade Deadline but all signs are still pointing at the team getting the superstar big man.

The New Orleans Pelicans recently fired general managerDell Demps, who was asking for an outrageous return for the Lakers. The writing on the wall here is clear: the Pelicans front office is not happy that Demps was stubborn and passed on the Lakers’ best offer, which might be the best offer the Pelicans ever get for Davis.

The Lakers would ultimately offer the same package this summer to get Davis but there is still a chance that the team strikes out on the superstar. The Boston Celtics are another team that is interested in Davis and have the ammo to get it done.

That is ifKyrie Irvingstays in Boston, after all.

Either way, the Los Angeles Lakers should not be putting all of their eggs in the Anthony Davis basket and should be prepared for a world in which the team does not get Davis.
