Jay Williams Says LeBron James And Anthony Davis Should Also Be Available For Trade

The Los Angeles Lakers have begun the 2022-23 NBA season on a bad note, going 0-3 in their first three games of the season. The team’s defense has been great, but it’s largely been ineffective as their offensive struggles completely outweigh the positives.

Considering the roster’s personnel, it’s not hard to see why the Lakers haven’t been able to find their groove on offense despite having three stars on the team. The team has lack of deadeye shooters and their fit with Russell Westbrook has also been terrible.

Now, many basketball fans and pundits have been pushing for a Westbrook trade so that the Lakers can pick up their needs and address the question marks on their roster. 

But while everyone is too fixated on a trade involving Westbrook, former NBA player and now-media member Jay Williams exclaimed that co-stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis should also be included in trade discussions.

 “If you’re talking about maintaining the franchise’s success, if we want to be cold-hearted about this, everybody should be on the table,” Williams said.

“If you want to be realistic about it, what can I get for LeBron James?” Williams said. “What can I get for Anthony Davis? What can I get for Russell Westbrook? We’re thinking about the future.”
