The Pelicans are rumored to have deliberately sabotaged the Lakers' chemistry through Anthony Davis trade negotiations. Lakers president Magic Johnson said the Pelicans didn't act in good faith during trade talks. Lakers owner Jeannie Buss called it "fake news" Los Angeles offered its entire roster despite nine players – Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Ivica Zubac, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson and Michael Beasley – reportedly being offered in various proposals.
