NBA Trade Rumours Roundup, February 6th: Lonzo Ball has no bearing on Anthony Davis trade, Kyle Lowry trade update and more

Phoenix Suns want Lonzo Ball, but the Lakers won't be forced into a deal

Dallas Mavericks v Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers pursuit of Anthony Davis is likely to rumble on into the final hours of the trade window. If the Pelicans and Lakers can finally come to an agreement, Los Angeles' entire young core is likely to be included, and reports have claimed that third parties have tried to get in on the trade.

The Phoenix Suns are believed to be desperate to acquire Lonzo Ball, and Ball himself reportedly wants to head to Phoenix, however, The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor is reporting the Lakers won't be swayed by personal interests:

There are also rumblings that the Suns could emerge as a third team for Ball, much to his father's delight, possibly with T.J. Warren and a young player going to the Pelicans. However, a source with knowledge of the trade discussions said the Ball family’s desires have no bearing on how the Lakers or Pelicans will approach negotiations.

Ball has played 47 times for the Lakers so far this season, averaging 9.9 points, 5.4 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game.
