NOLA needs to be “overcompensated” to even take into account making a commerce with LA.
Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers stay involved with the New Orleans Pelicans in commerce talks for All Star heart Anthony Davis as they race to beat the clock forward Thursday’s 3pm NBA commerce deadline.
In line with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, New Orleans is ready to be “overwhelmed” with a plethora draft picks, which means the Lakers must fer up four first-round and second-round picks as half any Davis bundle. Actually, Woj stories that the Pelicans wish to be “overcompensated” to even take into account making a commerce with LA.
As yesterday, the Lakers had been reportedly ready to surrender a number of draft picks and wage cap reduction, along with a number of younger gamers, in an effort to get the Davis deal performed earlier than Thursday at 3pm ET.
For instance, Lakers reporter Brad Turner says the Lakers are keen to provide New Orleans cap reduction for Davis by taking Solomon Hill for Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson, Michael Beasley, and two 1st spherical picks.
Nonetheless, it does not seem the Pelicans had been too smitten by that fer.

Per ESPN:
“Thus far, the Lakers have felt that conversations with New Orleans have been one-sided, and they’re rising more and more pessimistic in regards to the Pelicans’ willingness to make a cope with them, sources with data the discussions instructed ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.”
For sure, the Lakers are “rising more and more pessimistic” they’re going to have the ability to full a deal for AD earlier than the deadline, in response to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
