After ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski initially reported that New Orleans Pelicans GM Dell Demps was avoiding calls from Los Angeles Lakers GM Rob Pelinka, L.A. Times’ Brad Turner is now reporting that Lakers president Magic Johnson has spoken with Demps about five different trade scenarios that would bring superstar Anthony Davis to Hollywood.
Lakers president Magic Johnson and the Lakers then presented five different trade scenarios to Demps on Wednesday and are waiting to hear back from Demps about which interest him the most, per sources.
The Lakers are adamant to get a deal done before the deadline in order to avoid competing with the Boston Celtics, who have significant assets to offer but cannot do so before July 1 due to Kyrie Irving’s ‘Rose Rule‘ contract.
Lakers want to get deal done and have no plans on trying to outbid Celtics during the summer because Lakers will then pursue other free agents besides AD.
