ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news Saturday that the Pelicans will send Davis to the Lakers in exchange for a package that includes Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, the No. 4 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, and two future first-round picks.

Monster haul for David Griffin and the Pelicans. They maximized the AD trade without needing a third team. History of Griffin deals typically include strong pick protections, which could made trade even better. And now, LeBron gets his second star in LA. Here we go. https://t.co/Yf6cjlhvv4

With the Golden State Warriors looking ahead to a tough 2019-20 season due to injuries and free agency uncertainty, the door to the Finals in the Western Conference is open – and LeBron James now has a superstar teammate that can help the Lakers contend for a title. The Lakers also managed to get the deal done without trading away Kyle Kuzma, who the Pelicans were reportedly interested in.

News of AD trade to the Lakers drew a big smile. “Perfect,” he said. Did seem to think that three No. 1s was a bit steep.
