Lakers At The NBA Trade Deadline: Who Could Go?

Ed Davis

Ed Davis: Now we’re talking! A young, talented, productive player many teams would totally love to have. He doesn’t make much ($1 million), making the salary math fairly uncomplicated. Still, unless Davis chooses the NBA version of a Franciscan vow of poverty, he’ll decline his million dollar player option for next season and hit unrestricted free agency. The team trading for Davis has no real inside track to keep him, including Bird rights, mitigating his value. Davis has talked about staying in L.A. and the Lakers like him. I’d be surprised if he’s dealt, but are the Lakers be willing to give him a deal eating into their future cap space? That’s the part I find most interesting.

OTS: 79
