*As you have no doubt heard by now, on Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans struck a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers in exchange for three Lakers players of which Lonzo Ball is one.
Needless to say, Lonzo’s daddy, LaVar Ball, is super pissed. Talk about ruining his Father’s Day weekend.
The Pelicans have agreed to a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks – including the No. 4 overall in 2019 Draft, league sources tell ESPN.

Monster haul for David Griffin and the Pelicans. They maximized the AD trade without needing a third team. History of Griffin deals typically include strong pick protections, which could made trade even better. And now, LeBron gets his second star in LA. Here we go. https://t.co/Yf6cjlhvv4

The instant speculation is that with Davis and Lebron joining forces, it’ll create one of the most powerful NBA duos, which could possibly make the team a contender for a championship. Not only that, but it should make getting a 3rd superstar player a whole lot easier. By the way, Lebron James sent a shout out to his new podna via Instagram.
“AD on da way!! @antdavis23. Let’s get it bro! Just the beginning.. #LakeShow,” LeBron wrote.

Here’s an interesting side note to the story. When news about the trade became public, Lonzo and LaVar Ball, were attending the Drew League to watch Lonzo’s brother LaMelo Ball play. According to reports, the trade news was announced in the arena, which made things totally akward. Talk about messing up LaVar’s Father’s Day. 🙁
Interesting note: LaVar Ball is at Drew League getting to watch son LaMelo play a game when deal sending Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, 3 No. 1 picks to New Orleans for Anthony Davis was announced on PA.

At first, LaVar didn’t say much about the trade:

Then, he opened up a little more, basically saying Lonzo will be fine because he can work with anyone:
