The Lakers can be said to be facing a lot of difficulties this season, especially Russell Westbrook is indeed not able to make this Lakers play a good enough offensive and defensive performance, which is why many trade rumors in recent times have little connection with Westbrook.
But it's not just Westbrook, Anthony Davis is also one of the players caught up in trade rumors, mainly because Davis has not really done well enough shooting so far this season, whether it is because of injuries or not, Davis really has not played the high level of performance that should be.
So the Lakers can also put Anthony Davis on the shelves? Or what kind of deal can the team push for when Davis is on the shelves? The advice given by the US media Jack Simone is to promote the following deal with the Rockets:
Rockets get: Anthony Davis
The Lakers got: Christian Wood, Eric Gordon, Daniel Theis, Jeshaun Tate, 2023 first-round picks, 2025 first-round picks, 2027 first-round picks
It's undoubtedly a very heavy deal because Anthony Davis will be sent to the Rockets and paired with two players, Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr., and the Lakers can get better depth and some draft picks in this deal.
Of course, this is still a very strange trading proposal. First of all, Davis is really not in good shape, but he still averages 23.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, as for Wood, he does have a good efficiency performance, averaging 17.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
While the Lakers can get tough players like Gordon, Theis and Tate, as well as multiple first-round draft picks in the future, it may not be enough to achieve Davis's role for the team, especially if Davis can get back to form next.
On the other hand, the Rockets are in the rebuilding stage, and even if they get Davis at this stage, they will not be able to become a championship-winning team, not to mention that they will have to give up multiple first-round draft picks in this deal.
Overall, this is not a reasonable deal proposal, and both sides are unlikely to push for such a move that does not have much benefit.
