The Los Angeles Lakers and L.A. Clippers are preparing for the big summer of free agency but the purple and gold have made the first move by trading for New Orleans Pelicans' star Anthony Davis.

The Lakers traded away Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and a number of picks for Davis on Saturday afternoon.

The Clippers, meanwhile, have remained out of the headlines, but are still the favorites to land Raptors star Kawhi Leonard after he led Toronto to the 2019 NBA Championship.
