Biggest winners, losers in Anthony Davis trade between Lakers, Pelicans originally appeared on nbcsportsboston.com It actually happened: Anthony Davis is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers reportedly agreed to a huge blockbuster trade on Saturday to acquire the superstar center from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for a massive package of talented young players and unprotected first-round draft picks/swaps. L.A. finally has a second superstar to pair with LeBron James, and given the recent injuries to Golden State Warriors stars Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, the Lakers now are in the driver's seat to win the Western Conference and NBA Finals next season.
