Original title: “Brother Chunmei” will be traded to Lakers
Xinhua News Agency, Los Angeles, June 15 (reporter Huang Heng) according to sources on the 15th, NBA Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans reached a deal, the Lakers will win the long-cherished power forward Anthony Davis, who has been an all-star for six times.
It is reported that the Lakers will sign with three young talents Bauer, Ingram and Hart and three first-round draft picks, including the first-round 4th of this year, exchange “Brother Biao”. The deal will be completed as early as July 6.
The official Lakers fan organization “Lakers Nation” disclosed on its website that the main reason for the deal was the first round 4 signing that the Lakers just got. Since Davis announced in January this year that he would not renew the contract with pelicans and seek a deal to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Lakers and Pelicans started several rounds of negotiations, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement, because pelican also wanted to see the quotations of the Celtic and Knicks in the summer, but in the draft draw just ended, the two teams did not gain anything.
Seeing that Davis was obsessed with the Lakers, Pelican had to accept the quotation from the Lakers in order to prevent the leading star from having to be sent out for free next season. For the Lakers, it is not easy for them to leave another young star Kuzma in the negotiation.
The “Lakers Nation” article commented that although the Lakers lost three of the four promising newcomers selected for reconstruction in the past five years, the arrival of 26-year-old Davis, he can immediately form two giants with “emperor” LeBlanc James to help the Lakers “win the present” and guarantee the results in the next 6 to 7 seasons.
After Signing Davis, the Lakers still have at least 2300 million dollars in salary space, so they may attract another all-star player in the summer. In that case, the Lakers are not only expected to make a comeback next season, but also may redraw the western territory.
