Davis, who had requested a trade to L.A. in January, joins James in Los Angeles to create one of the most powerful duos in the NBA, especially now that the Golden State Warriors will be down two significant players for next year, if Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson re-signs.
The Pelicans now will have two of the top four picks in Thursday’s draft — No. 1 and No. 4 as well as an assortment of young players to build upon.
