It is no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers want to add Anthony Davis before the trade deadline, although ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the New Orleans Pelicans were left 'underwhelmed' by the Lakers first offer:

As the Los Angeles Lakers pursue New Orleans Pelicans All-NBA center Anthony Davis ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, the initial offers have been underwhelming, including the Lakers' first offer of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Rajon Rondo, Michael Beasley and a first-round pick, league sources told ESPN.

Davis is contracted to the Pelicans until 2020, so New Orleans will feel under no pressure to deal the 6-time All-Star ahead of the trade deadline. The situation is also further complicated by the fact that the Boston Celtics cannot make a trade for Anthony until the summer, as the 'Rose Rule' currently prohibits the Celtics from having both Kyrie Irving and Davis on the same team.
