Davis won only one playoff series during his time with the New Orleans Pelicans. The six-time All-Star gave everything he had to the Pelicans and now he's ready to start the next chapter of his career with the Lakers.

Some people believe the Lakers are the favorite to win the 2020 NBA title, especially since AD and LeBron are considered top-five players in the league today. The Lakers will have to compete with the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz for Western Conference supremacy first.

The 26-year-old Davis has career averages of 23.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 51.7 percent from the field, 31.4 percent from beyond the arc and 79.5 percent from the free-throw line in 466 games. It's going to be a lot of fun watching Davis play with James in Los Angeles.
