3 reasons the Los Angeles Lakers should make a move for Draymond Green

#2. It will allow the Lakers to re-explore a move for Anthony Davis in 2020

Anthony Davis has been with the New Orleans Pelicans since 2012 but has requested a trade

It is no secret that Anthony Davis is the Lakers number one target this summer. The team's desperation to land the six-time All-Star was on full view last month as they offered Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, and two-first round picks in exchange for the Pelicans star man.

Nevertheless, during negotiations, relations between the Pelicans and Lakers quickly soured, and reports have since claimed that New Orleans has no interest in re-discussing a deal with Los Angeles this summer.

This means that the Lakers' only path to acquiring Davis could be via his 2020 free agency, and if the team adds Green on an expiring deal this summer, they would have the cap space to sign him in 12 months down the line.
