Sources: Lakers reach deal for Pelicans' Davis

The Lakers paid a steep price to partner Davis with LeBron James: sending Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, including the No. 4 overall selection in Thursday's NBA draft to the Pelicans, sources said. The Lakers were able to hold on to forward Kyle Kuzma in the trade, which cannot be finalized until July 6.

The Pelicans now will have two of the top four picks in Thursday's draft, No. 1 and No. 4. New Orleans will select Zion Williamson at No. 1 and now has the flexibility to select a player at No. 4 or trade it at auction in the next several days.

If the NBA is a business of asset acquisition and management, Griffin just put on a master class. All three players New Orleans acquired are legitimate NBA starters and two of them, Ball and Ingram, have All-Star potential.
