The Lakers' acquisition of Anthony Davis not only led them to a championship in his first season but also decisively established their victory in the trade.
With the Pelicans having the chance to retain the Lakers' 2024 draft pick yet opting for the 2025 option, they've showcased their mismanagement of the AD trade.
None of the Pelicans' draft picks from the AD trade amount to much. Players like Jaxson Hayes and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have failed to meet expectations.
Although Herb Jones is the best of the bunch from the picks received, the real story is the relative success of players like Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart post-trade.
