The 2021/22 season of Los Angeles Lakers It has been a complete failure. Among other reasons, the fact of not having been able to keep Anthony Davis healthy throughout the season (a problem that has occurred since his arrival in the NBA) has caused the Los Angeles franchise to be left out of the contest, not only the playoffs, but the ‘play-in’ of the Western Conference.
And it is that Davis himself is one of the focuses where the NBA Rumors have been focusing in recent weeks. The Lakers know that they need changes to be able to compete for the ring again. The first thing is to find a new head coach (a task that is getting complicated for them), and then come the possible transfers.
This is where Anthony Davis comes in. ESPN journalist Brian Windhorst announced that the Los Angeles Lakers were going to listen to offers for ‘La Ceja’ this summer. At least discuss his possible departure in the event that it is beneficial to the purple and gold team. Given this fact Toronto Raptors has gone on the attack.
The interest on the part of two franchises was already known: New York Knicks (as always when there is a star on the market) and Utah Jazz (which everything indicates that they will move one of their two stars, Rudy Gobert or Donovan Mitchell). The Raptors arrive with the intention of taking the final leap to become 100% competitive again (something they lost with the departure of Kawhi Leonard in 2019).
What could Toronto offer?
Despite his continuing physical problems, Anthony Davis is still considered an NBA star to this day. The transfer would not come cheap to some Toronto Raptors that could include, among other players, OG Anunoby, Gary Trent Jr, Thaddeus Young (14 million expiring contract) or Scottie Barnes (taking into account that Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet are untouchable).
