Anthony Davis trade rumors
The Los Angeles Lakers have been disappointing this season. After the acquisition of Russell Westbrook, the fanbase expected them to challenge for the title. Their disappointing display has left fans stunned and the latest news is sure to shock them further.
According to Chris Broussard, the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers might be in for a trade. Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler for Anthony Davis might be happening. Although the Lakers fanbase might rejoice considering the lack of form for Davis, the Heat fanbase is certainly fuming.
Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler are key to the Heat roster. Thanks to their efforts the Miami Heat are currently 1st in the Eastern Conference and are looking towards an NBA title.
“Somebody who works in the league, works with a lot of players, we talked after the deadline, said he would’ve done Anthony Davis for Bam Adebayo. I disagree…I would do him for Bam and Jimmy…we know Riley likes stars. He might do that.”

Adebayo averages 18.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists this season. Jimmy Butler averages 21.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 6.0 assists this season.
AD on the other hand has had a dismal season so far. He has picked up another injury recently against the Utah Jazz after coming back from a month-long recovery. He averages 23.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists this season. Although the deal looks improbable currently due to the importance Adebayo and Butler play in the Heat roster, anything might happen in the future.
