Another transfer to Los Angeles, to the point where we could be lost as there are many departures and arrivals. This time, it’s Mo Bamba who comes to give the Lakers a hand while Los Angeles kicks Patrick Beverley’s buttocks.
The Lakers are talking about them and obviously have unlimited calls. This time, it is with Orlando that the franchise has reached an agreement. Mo Bamba joins Lakers while Patrick Beverley and a second draft pick go to Orlando. With this transfer, the Californian franchise may want to put Anthony Davis back in position 4 full-time.
Thomas Bryant had requested his transfer after the arrival of Jarred Vanderbilt, and here is another pivot who arrives in town. This move is perhaps a sign that Anthony Davis will return to position 4, which is his wish and his favorite position. And the Lakers now hold two pivots, more in the defensive register.
Clearly, the Lakers are trying everything for everything and upset a large part of the workforce. This is the sixth arrival before the trade deadline after the arrivals of Rui Hachimura, D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt and Davon Reed.
After tweeting to show off his D’Angelo Russell transfer hype, Patrick Beverley is packing his bags. With his experience (and his big mouth), the leader could bring all his vice and advice to young leaders such as Markelle Fultz or Cole Anthony.
The young Magic players will be pushed by the cries of Patrick Beverley. On the other hand, the franchise separates from Mo Bamba, who was nevertheless drafted in fifth position. The pivot will have to assert itself in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Patrick Beverley to the Orlando Magic for center Mo Bamba, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
