The Los Angeles Lakers have been tipped to trade Anthony Davis to the New York Knicks for a flurry of picks in order to move for Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant to pair alongside LeBron James.
The Lakers are 2-7 after falling 114-100 at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. As a result of their poor start to the 2022/23 NBA season, Davis could be available for trade.
Heading into the season, many Lakers fans were unsettled by the lingering presence of Russell Westbrook - but the 2017 MVP has been unlocked by rookie head coach Darvin Ham. Westbrook has impressed in recent outings but a new headache has emerged in the form of a struggling James and Davis, the star duo who formed the nucleus of the Lakers championship-winning team in 2020.
