Just a while back, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported the following,

Davis is now focused on the Lakers and Knicks as the two desired long-term destinations, league sources told The Athletic. Davis has not given Griffin or the Pelicans a new formal list. He will be a free agent in 2020.

Also hovering were reports of the fact that Davis Griffin is preparing a "framework" that the Pelicans would accept in case of an Anthony Davis trade. In the backdrop of what happened during the mid-season trade melee and with current speculations aplenty, there is really one element that people seem to have not factored in yet. It's the recruiting mindset of one of the greatest basketball minds ever, LeBron James.

With Woj's latest report suggesting Lakers to not be a famous destination for available elite free agents, it's fairly believable that the King would not let things take their own course. He has always gone all out in hopes of landing a major superstar and a potential championship, no matter how harsh the repercussions may end up being. When it comes to business moves, we can rest assured he's not going to hold himself back, now that the fate of the crumbling Lakers name rests in his hands.
