At that time, the Lakers only promoted a deal involving Anthony Davis at the expense of multiple young players and multiple future draft picks, of course, Davis can help the Lakers win a championship trophy after joining. Judging from the results, the Lakers still achieved great success in this transaction.
This is also the reason why many rumors about the Anthony Davis trade have been mentioned in recent times, and the US media Stephen A- Smith even suggested that the Lakers promote the trade of Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook at the same time:
Compared to Westbrook, the Lakers' push for a Davis trade is indeed more likely to become a reality, but after the poor form at the beginning of the season and the current injury problems, the value of Anthony Davis' trade has been questioned. According to US media outlet Sam Amic, Davis' trading value has fallen:
"One competitor executive told us that Davis' value as a trading chip is now lower than ever, and it's down quite a bit."
It should be noted that Davis' biggest problem is still injury troubles, after all, in the past two seasons, Davis has only played a total of 73 games for the Lakers.
Of course, there are also optimistic about Anthony Davis in the league, for example, TNT analyst Kenny Smith believes that Anthony Davis is still the kind of player who can lead any team to the playoffs, even the Rockets in the rebuilding stage:
If he can stay healthy, Anthony Davis may indeed be the player who led the Rockets into the playoffs, but to be clear, Davis really doesn't have many seasons in his career so far.
