Will the Pels accept this package for Davis?

Its not picking up steam yet but there is talk that Lebron is some what as sure as signed in LA especially if PG13 goes there in the summer...what if the Fakers then offer a package of Ball(no more use if Lebron is there), Ingram and Kuzma to the Pelicans for Anthony Davis...wow.

That trio will give the Warriors and Rockets some competition...of course it all depends on how theyd be surrounded by role players but the Fakers might do it becausr PG and the King wont be enough to even get em a 3rd seed in the tough West but AD changes everything..

Question is will the Pelicans do it..I mean that is a very good package specially the way Kuzma has broken out better than Ball and Ingram is also slowly coming into his own..better package than any team could offer...thoughts.

Neurotic Guy:
Hopefully the jinx factor of the negligible percent of trade suggestions that actually come to fruition will be in play here.   Given that NO will likely lose Cousins and will not have cap space to sign anyone significant, they are treading water as a borderline playoff team for the foreseeable future.  Therefore, the prospect of getting 3 young guys with potential might be appealing. However, the trade hardly makes for a promising future for New Orleans.  None of the trio is likely to ever have the impact that AD has, and the Pels will still be stuck with little cap room and young players who will be coming into their own just as their contracts expire.  Also, there's Lavar Ball.

Ball is not a great asset at this point.   I flat our hate the Lakers.   I hope they are terrible for a long long time....But I am too biased to comment on this matter in terms of a trade.

So the question ultimately becomes what sells the most tickets?  Depending on other additions to the deal (draft picks, cash, bag of balls, etc) it might be a better prospect than what their future currently looks like at this time.

The good news is that if we get wind that AD is available, then we have the assets to top that trade easily, and we end up with him! :)

JBcat:
You will need much more outgoing salary on the Lakers end for the trade to work, but who would that be? They will have to renounce Randle and stretch Deng in order to get cap space for 2 max slots.  The rest of the roster will be made of low/minimum guys and they would need at least 5 mil more in salary along with Ball, Ingram, and Kuzma in order for a trade to work for Davis.

I just don’t see how the Lakers could pull this off.
