Four years have passed since LeBron James and Anthony Davis joined forces at the Los Angeles Lakers, and they have only been able to win one championship (the controversial one in the Bubble during COVID-19 times), which is considered very little by many fans of the Los Angeles team, especially considering the high expectations that came with this duo in the best basketball league in the world. The latest 'failure' - according to many experts - was losing the Western Conference Finals, being overwhelmed (4-0) by the Denver Nuggets. That is why changes are starting to be rumored within the team.
What would happen to LeBron James and Anthony Davis?
The latest news for LeBron James is that there is strong speculation about him joining the Golden State Warriors, where he could team up with his eternal rival in the NBA Finals: Stephen Curry, whom he faced in the 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 finals, winning in 2016. The Warriors, a solid team and perennial title favorites in the last decade, want to strengthen themselves with the all-time leading scorer to pursue their eighth championship ring.
On the other hand, there has been speculation for a season about Anthony Davis being traded to the Boston Celtics, a team that lost in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. Jason Tatum's team wants to reinforce themselves with one of the best power forwards in the NBA.
Who would go to the Los Angeles Lakers for LeBron and Davis?
According to Fadeaway World, the Los Angeles Lakers could receive Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, and Andrew Wiggins in exchange for LeBron James joining the Golden State Warriors. On the other hand, from the Boston Celtics, they expect to receive Jaylen Brown, Robert Williams III, and the 2024 and 2025 first-round draft picks in exchange for Anthony Davis. This would definitely be a great deal for the Los Angeles Lakers, who would be losing their star player but would have a team capable of competing in the conference finals and even for an NBA title. Will there be movements in the transfer market?
